My appointment was for 8:45...I had to go to the receptionist and ask if I may have been forgotten about around 9:45 Upon arrival I was informed that I would have to pay $319 prior to being seen...when I asked why wasn't I made aware of this prior or while scheduling the appointment I was given an apology for the lack of communication but still no explanation as to why I wasn't made aware of this before taking time off work to be there. The actual visit was absolutely amazing and the staff was polite, informative, & professional! ??

This is my first time seeing a cardiologist. I was very happy with Dr. Edward's. He listened to me & explained everything that was going on & that I needed to have done. The lady Samantha that worked me up & did an EKG on me was also very nice. The front desk when I checked in was also very pleasant. I was very pleased overall !

Jabrea and Samantha were absolutely the best about the work up and triage. Dr. Edwards listened patiently and was very reassuring. I have terrible anxiety and he was non-judgemental and gave me a new medication regimen and wanted me to see him again in 2 weeks. I was relieved that it isn't something more serious. He was very compassionate. I would highly recommend Dr. Edwards and his team.
