The last two terrible reviews, I see, are from 2015, and a fine example of how a doctor's staff can make or break a practice. It's a lesson Dr. Husein had to learn the hard way, I guess. I'm glad he did, because this is a doctor you want on your side. Since then, he has replaced his office staff with concerned, capable, friendly and helpful people who cross all their T's and dot their I's. As for for Dr. Husein, I'm impressed by him as a professional and a human being, who opts to serve low income families in South Mountain, where trying to find a specialist in the neighborhood is like looking for a lit match in a giant black hole. He never makes you feel rushed, really listens to you, isn't reluctant to order the tests you need, and treats you like the sentient human being that you are. I never feel "talked down to" and always walk away feeling confident in his ability to diagnose and heal. And as a former New Yorker, I'm never confident about anyone! If you need a great cardiologist, Dr. Husein is your man. read more

The three stars on this review are truly for the assisting staff (nurse, office manager, front desk etc). They are truly so wonderful, kind, attentive and thorough. I truly appreciate all the help they provided me in my situation. However, if it was not for them, I am not sure I would given past one star. The initial intake visit was alright, minus being told that I am too young to have any real heart issues or any complications from Covid vaccines (even though many of my peers and family have been dealing with heart issues as a side effect). Brushing a patient off because of age is not quite a good practice. Here's where my experience continued to decline. I do not live in Arizona, so I ended up traveling back home soon after completing some in office and at home tests. I wanted those tests sent over to my PCP at home so she could review them when I went to my routine check up with her. I was told that the doctor would refuse to release my results to me (or anyone) before I have a follow up visit. This was the first major point of concern because I am not entirely sure that is legal given that I paid for these tests. So I am forced to do a call visit where the staff is running late so I tell them to take their time. Then the NP gets on the visit and tells me that there is no time to complete the proper duration of the visit because I am late to the call and she has someone after me. Bear in mind, I cannot be late to a call that I have not received. After some more wasted time, she says she will complete the call. I had to press them on the call to send me a copy of my results so that I can actually follow along with the reading, as this was an audio call not a video call (yet being charged as a full doctor visit). Words cannot describe the insanity of that. After going through the visit to be told that my results are fine, something that could have been emailed or sent as a voicemail. Doctors have a habit nowadays of charging you for doing minimal effort work, and charging you unnecessarily for things that do not require a visit. In my case, my results were refused to be released to me until I paid them more money for a follow up visit, that once again, was absolutely unnecessary. I have doctors of my own that I truly appreciate for running an honest practice, I can't say this is one. read more

Finding a new doctor in n a new city is often challenging but Dr. Hussein has been wonderful. With a long history of heart problems, finding the right doctor was critical. The clinic is well managed and small enough to feel very personal. The staff is knowledgeable and attentive to all our questions and needs. read more

I'm a first time patient. I'm so impressed firstly by the beautiful pretty office and the friendly and professional staff. The cleanliness is a 10 out of 10. I would highly recommend this facility. read more

This is one of the sleeziest medical offices I have ever visited. They are definitely more interested in collecting their pound of flesh than actually treating patients. read more

I'm here 830 appointment and 835 I'm in a room!! Staff is so warm and welcoming! My favorite Dr appointment I go to!! Patti Cox is an amazing NP friendly, courteous. Knowledge' She actually listens to her patients! I will continue to refer friends here ! read more

Appointments are never on time. So frustrating! I hope this can be resolved because I really like doctors, but do not want to wait 30-45 min after my actual appointment time. read more

I was having some issues with my heart and decided to google Cardiologists near me and thank goodness I selected South Mountain Cardiology. Not only was I able to get a fairly quick appointment but was treated by the entire staff from the front desk to Dr. Husain. He was such a nice, caring man and answered every question and set upon a diagnostic plan that would get to the "heart" of the issue. After an EKG, an echo cardiogram and a carotid artery scan I was thrilled to find my heart was in good condition after speaking with his wonderful Nurse Practitioner Patti Cox. I would highly recommend this office and their wonderful staff to anyone! read more

Based off my experience (two visits with Husain) the doctor is extremely unprofessional/rude. He did not listen to me at all and I wish I was never referred here by my primary. I arrived on time to both my appointments just to wait 40+ minutes to see him for my RESULTS. Even as an "established patient" that's ridiculous. The first time this happened the office manager, kylie wrote a note stating that it was "longer than expected" -- it took over an hour to get a 5 minute test done! I am only writing a review now because here I am to get the results from unnecessary tests. My appointment was at 9:45am it's 10:22am and I have still not seen the doctor. If he's not able to see patients within 15 minutes of their appointment time he needs to stop over scheduling himself. They make you sign paperwork advising they charge $50 if you're late or a no show so why am I sitting here waiting an hour? FOR TEST RESULTS! read more

This office literally saved my life! After having chest pains and being referred to a cardiologist from my primary care physician, I was told by another office that I could not see the cardiologist for a month. My primary doctor contacted, South Mountain Cardiology, and they were able to fit me in within 2 hours due to a cancellation. When I arrived, I was evaluated by Patti Cox and she recognized that I was having serious cardiac issues. Patti Cox initiated additional test immediately and coordinated the emergency surgery that I needed to save my life. I have since had open heart surgery, receiving 5 bypass arteries, to repair the massive blockages that could of ended my life. Thank you South Mountain Cardiology for saving my life! read more

We were moving our son from the midwest to Phoenix for college. The day before leaving, he had an EKG that came back with RBBB and a recommendation to see a cardiologist. There was no time! I randomly called South Mountain Cardiology and made an appointment. The staff was so friendly, understanding, and so patient with me as I had no idea what I was going to do and, honestly, I was a little scared. We needed our son cleared (I was praying) in order to play ball. Patty was amazing. She understood our urgency. She understood our nervousness. And she listened... and was so easy to talk to. My son had questions and she took the time to explain and draw it out. Luckily everything is just fine for us. She said she hopes to not see us again, but assured us that if there was anything we needed, to just give them a call. We certainly will! Thank you so much! read more

Dr. Hussain is very caring and takes the time to talk to me and explain what's really going on. You can tell he enjoys his job and truly cares about his patients! What a great cardiologist! read more

Patty fixed me. I was broken for years. Even had a regular cardiologist and never saw his face. She sat down and spoke with me like a person. I was pretty sick and now I feel so much better. Thanks Patty. read more

This is such a great clinic. I no longer have to drive a very long distance to get to a cardiologist! My doctor, Dr. Husain, is so caring, and he really seems like he loves his job.The staff is really kind and welcoming! I am always expecting a clean environment. The waiting area has comfortable chairs and plenty of interesting magazines to look at. I am so happy that I made the right decision and switched cardiologists! The care I received here was outstanding. I hope that everyone in need of stellar care in the South Mountain area can discover South Mountain Cardiology! read more

South mountain cardiology Dr Hussain and his entire staff are the greatest. They are very friendly extremely professional and take really good care of their patients. Fortunately I really only need to see them when and if I need cardiac clearance for an upcoming surgery, But they always make it a pleasant visit. Their new office their new location is just very modern very clean very efficient. Again I could never emphasize on the atmosphere from the minute you walk into that office so you see one of the staff the doctor and the PA with the technician. They're the best. Linda Delligatti from Chandler read more

I love this office! Every member of staff is professional, knowledgeable and just awesome. The doctor and nurse practitioner, the ultrasound tech, the girls in the front, the billing specialist-- the whole office rocks! I have been to several cardiologists in the past few years due to moving. South Mountain has been by far the best cardiology practice I have ever been to. It was very important to me that I find a practice where I am heard and cared about and I can honestly say this is it. read more

As of today my husband have been waiting over a month for the heart monitor to be delivered. He has called twice and was told they will check in to why the machine was not delivered. No calls were returned back regarding the status of the machine. But he did get a call for an appointment to check the machine. Per my husband he asks the person who called "how can you check the machine if I never received it". The person on the phone stated to my husband that they would check and see why it have not been delivered yet. So today my husband and I decided to go to the office to pull his records so he could get with a doctor that would do their job. read more

This place is horrible arrived at 2 for a 245 appointment. Finally left at 4. They never updated me as to why the wait. I will never return

I was very pleased with my experience at South Mountain Cardiology. It was good to be treated with professionalism and care. Dr Nadeem Hussain made me feel comfortable and that I am in safe hands and even made me smile. I am truly grateful and appreciated their follow-up and willingness to answer questions also. A big thank you to all of them. read more

Through my GP I was referred with my employers United Health Care insurance for an exam. I paid the $50 copay and waited a week for the results. I was told on my return that I would have to pay another $50 copay for the results. I contacted my insurance provider, and they said don't do it, so I walked out without the results. The insurance company is contacting their lawyers. read more

My uncle has been going here for a couple months now. Its such a great environment snd staff is great. Dr. H is very down to earth and has good bed side manner. I definitely recommend ! read more

I was referred to Dr. Husain by my PCP concerning the possibility of blockages in my hearts coronary arteries. After testing Dr. Husain referred me to a surgeon at Banner University Medical Center for two heart catheterizations and stent installations. My wife and I were impressed with the professional manner of Dr. Husain. He takes his time and seems to truly care. His medical support staff was very knowledgeable and caring. We are not at all impressed with the two ladies that work at the front reception area. Interaction with them is like you are putting them out. There is also a duplication of effort with appointment reminder phone calls and how much money is due. I also asked for some information to be printed. They were not allowed to handle my request and SAID they would refer it to the office manager. Two weeks later, I had to call again. They evidently did not relay my request. The office manager appeared to have been "put out of her way" to handle this request. In other words, once you get behind the second door, things become better professionally. read more

I totally agree with Draconia! He is so caring and always tells you what's going on with your heart and how to fix it. He is also very close to where I live. I would definitely recommend this doctor to you! read more
