Dr. Smeds is super. It was certain staff who used "disdain" in dealing with us. Again, a phone call would be great

I like him a lot so far. I think he is by far the more knowledgeable cardiologist I’ve had. And his demeanor is extraordinarily good.

Dr Kichura is an excellent Doctor! Caring, courteous, and communicates effectively to his patients. He cares and it shows. Walking his patients to the service desk after the visit and saying goodbye to his patients is a class act. Just a superb professional and human being! Shout out to Jasmine for her wonderful personality and attentiveness to her work.

Dr. Forsberg is an amazing doctor.

Dr Friedman is actually a caring human being. These days, with medical care the way it is, I feel that we patients have to settle for the fact that we got the x-ray, or the pill, or the surgery. Dr. Friedman actually embodies the idea that "Through our exceptional health care services, we reveal the healing presence of God." The support staff, not so much. Which means, of course, that they need more support.

She did not answer my concerns. After all these heart tests I expected something to deal with my health problems now that heart damage has been ruled out. Why is my blood pressure so high even on meds? Why am I exhausted all the time? Am I expected to live the rest of my life in my recliner? This after being active all my life until this summer.
