From the Staff/Team to Dr. [last name] and to Desiree Howley, PA-C, I feel so very fortunate to have my care in their skilled hands. When I have my appointments, they address me with professionalism and pride and make me believe I am the only patient they have. Good people, doing Great things at Baptist Heart Specialist. From my first anxious visit to each visit afterwards, is building a life long trust as if were family. Dr. [last name] said in my second appointment that he would be my doctor with each visit, but when I was notified that my future appointments were with Desiree Howley, the PA honestly I initially felt handed off and not feeling good about it, BUT my first encounter with Desiree Howley changed that perception and with each visit the trust grew. I now lay my life and health in her trusting hands and never not once felt that my care was any less than important after that. I can sing her praises along with Dr. [last name] and the entire Team everyday (and I often do), but I think you get my point. Baptist Heart Specialist keep what you're doing, SHINE! and don't live on your successes, build on them. Thank you all!
