Instead, my own research led me to find that I was magnesium deficient for years. This caused fast heart rate and high blood pressure. I took magnesium LThreonate from Dr. Mercola or life extensions on amazon. 3 times per day. I am healed and have been off meds for 2 years. I hope this helps other to research root cause and not go on life long medication that will not ever heal your body. You will only become dependent on it, and it will cause other negative issues.

Went to a follow up appointment with my wife and was refused entry to the appointment room where I…read morewas allowed the prior visit. Also stop calling my black wife Ms if there is a white husband with a wedding ring with her. don't make early morning appointments and then show up 10 minutes late as the doctor for the appointment. This is the first time during our 5 years of marriage this husband was not allowed to be in the same room as the wife. Most unprofessional medical service I have seen in 55 years on 3 continents. When you see a man in the waiting room and you are not sure he is a direct family member as he has a different skin color as the patient perhaps ascertain who he is prior to refusing entry with the patient. Have you considered racial sensitivity training of your staff?

I signed up for a medical study through Wake Med and needed to get some labs done. The Wake Med…read moreWake Forest Medical Park is where I chose to go. The facility is fairly new. I'm not sure how long it has been open but it one facility for pretty much everything. They have primary care, cardiology, OBGYN, pediatrics, urology, orthopaedic, physical therapy, surgery and the lab. I didn't see urgent care though. I'm not sure if all the offices were open yet as the parking lot was pretty empty. There were multiple entrances. Once I figured out where the lab was, check-in was easy and I just had to wait my turn. I was given a phlebotomy student at first but knew that wasn't going to work for me so after she couldn't find my vein a more experienced tech took care of me and got me the first try.

My 87-year old father lives in the area and worked with this team to get through several issues, including the most recent - a new TAVR valve replacement procedure that was amazing. Throughout, this team of doctors showed amazing care both for my dad and for our family. EVERYONE we dealt with treated us as though we were the only people they had to worry about. I can only say it was an unexpected pleasure - especially since I had to come to Raleigh from Atlanta, GA for the meetings and appointments. We highly recommend these doctors and are grateful for them.

I was with with my father for his surgical procedure and post-operative days. He was a patient of Dr. Tan's for a cardiac valve replacement and the service provided by him and his associates was exceptional. They communicated their caring and concern by taking time to make sure questions were answered and they have processes in place to help both patient and family to feel calm and confident about the planned procedure. The pre-operative process was clearly communicated and was coordinated by an RN who assisted my father and I during the several hours of pre-op tests. The nurse arranged a visit with the anesthesiologist, made sure that test results were complete, and communicated with Dr Tan as needed. The anesthesiologist spent at least 20 minutes with us and asked several times whether we had questions. We met with Dr Tan and his nurse practitioner for about 30 minutes and they again made sure that instructions were clear and that our questions were answered. Dr Tan asked for and used my cell phone number to get in touch with me about the latest updates and about any changes to plans. He also urged me to call him any time if I had a question or a concern. He called or sent text messages and also asked each time whether I had additional questions or concerns. One evening he saw me in the hall and turned around to come talk to me and go with me to see my father so he could personally update us on things he felt were important. The Wake Medical Center staff and hospitality services enabled me to relax and get needed food and rest. Thank you for demonstrating how good medical care can be.

Wake med and United Healthcare insurance both SUCK!…read more My wife was in the ED on Sunday with Chest pain. Doc said you can go home as long as you see your cardiologist on Monday. Wake med gave us an appt on Tues. When we went they said we couldnt pay out of pocket and UMR insurance does not accept our doc any more. Wake med solution was for us to go back to the ED. Forget them!!!!! And forget United!!!! If anything happens to my wife in the mean time you can bank on a law sute coming from me.

During my first visit to Dr. Sydney Short's cardiology clinic I had the intake work done by an…read moreextremely competent, polite, professional nurse. Dr. Short entered the exam room shortly after reviewing the ECG, took a complete medical history - carefully comparing what he learned from our discussion with what the paper history suggested. He reviewed my blood pressure record, shed light on the way medical thinking about blood pressure and HBP treatment has evolved and changed over the years - a very telling perspective that shed light on the BP drugs prescribed over time, and diet/liquid intake recommendations, among other things. From the start of the exam, I was impressed with his explanations, his evaluation of the Rx routine I had been following, his recommended changes to that routine. I should note that I was comforted by the first step in his exam: taking my pulse the old-fashioned way, placing two fingers of his right hand on my wrist, and clocking things using his wristwatch. I've booked a follow up exam with his office; I recommend Dr. Short unreservedly.

From preregistration throughout the entire procedures I was handled with much care, dignity, and respect!

He has never treated me as a patient, seen me in person or contacted me to discuss my Long Covid symptoms which include heart palpitations and chest pain. He reviewed my medical records along with the research and CDC guidance I submitted to my insurance provider, Aetna, as part of my appeal to get the cost of an echocardiogram covered. Despite all of the documentation provided including this CDC guidance: Additional diagnostic testing should be guided by findings from the patient history and physical examination and results of previous diagnostic testing, and may include a chest x-ray, pulmonary function tests, electrocardiogram, or echocardiogram for persistent or new respiratory or cardiac concerns, https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/clinical-care/post-covid-conditions.html Joseph Guzzo chose to dismiss my symptoms and denied my appeal for an echocardiogram. He chose to hide behind a keyboard and ignore the facts for someone he will never have to face in person. This is dangerous and completely unethical. No doctor should be allowed to make decisions that negatively affect a patient's life, including him.

He then talked non-stop during my short 5-minute appointment, only allowing me to say 1-2 words when answering his questions. At one point, I was asked a question and after 1-2 words, he started talking over me again. He then condescendingly told me to let him finish speaking. Now as I look through my record, I see that there were abnormalities on my EKG that were never discussed with me. What an absolute joke; I will never be returning.
