When I went in to see Dr. Rea, I had a couple of problems and he looked at my history went back for several years because he's been my husbands patient. And he talked to me about what was going on and gave me some information I didn't know, and I was real pleased, and I would suggest that if they are looking for cardiologist he would be number one on my list. Thank you Dr. Rea.
