The professional staff is superb. A truly caring, professionally highly skilled and super effective team. Once admitted to a bed every single interaction was positive and I felt I was in the very best and reassuring hands. Hence my choice of this physician ( dr Tom McElderry) and his superb team. Singling out the anesthetist (dr Sarah McCormick) and nurse anesthetist (Faith) who were dedicated to my safe outcome. I was impressed by the caring, competence and humility of the cardiac resident dr Ruchit Shah. The nursing team and the discharging nurse (Jacob) deserve special mention. Deepest gratitude to this world class team.

The staff was excellent. The progress of the visit was efficient and amazing. The only slightly confusing portion of the visit was locating the parking deck and then locating the clinic once inside.

Our only complaint was with checking in. The young man that assisted us with checking in was very rude and not at all welcoming. After our appointment we returned to the check in desk to ask if we could have the drs business card and were told he didn’t have any and made absolutely no effort to obtain one for us. He acted as if we had completely inconvenienced him by asking. You should have friendlier people in your customer facing positions. Everyone else were extremely nice and polite.

I have been so frustrated with my care in Tuscaloosa. My visit with Kirklin Clinic was so positive! I feel like someone is really looking into my symptoms to figure out what I’m dealing with.
