Dr. McFarland is a great doctor. She never acts rushed; she takes the time to be sure your questions are answered and relevant information is shared. She was well-prepared for our visit, having read the reports from the cardiologists and previous heart tests that had occurred since I last saw her. She really cares about her patients.
