Dr Deriso and Nikki are great. All the nurses and assistants are friendly knowledgeable and helpful.

My Cardio Doctor was extraordinary. He was looking closely at my recent medical exam and my heart history. Also he read into my current health and notice that I have a heart valve concern which defiantly needs looking into which if uncheck could shorten my retirement in a dangerous way with me not being close to health care. We will both know more after test.

Dr. Deriso is awesome. He listened carefully, explained concisely, ordered thorough testing, and will proceed to prescribe future interventions only after seeing every possible test result. If medication is required, he will prescribe only the one with the least possible adverse side effects. I trust his judgment completely, and know I am in good hands. Yanni, his assistant, made me feel very comfortable, and the blood lab technician was another angel in my path, very expert and quick. I felt so safe and cared for! Even the lady at the sign-in kiosk was sweet as pie, personally helping me to sign in for the lab work, as I am a senior. I can't say enough good things about Wellstar Health Park at Vinings!

First visit. Never been to a cardiologist before. The doctor was attentive and seemed genuinely interested in my condition. He seemed to be knowledgeable and to ask the right questions. He is starting to build a baseline for my condition. His approach gives me hope for a long and healthy life. I like his personality, and I think we will have a positive patient-doctor relationship.

We were there on time and we did not have to wait but about five minutes and was called in and the nurse came right in and we were very pleased with the time frame that we were there in the time that Dr. Deriso took with us, so we are pleased with him.

My doctor was very attentive. Not only did he talk to me on a medical level, we also talked man-to-man. That was mostly appreciated.

On the first question, I accidentally pushed a nine where I should have pushed a 10. So please correct that. Thank you.

Yes, I just want to say I really appreciate the physician's assistant. I think it was that recommended how we can get my dad's medicine for discounted. That is really going to help us. I appreciate their attention to detail and they answered all of our questions. Thank you.

Dr. Deriso is awesome. He listened carefully, explained concisely, ordered thorough testing, and will proceed to prescribe future interventions only after seeing every possible test result. If medication is required, he will prescribe only the one with the least possible adverse side effects. I trust his judgment completely, and know I am in good hands. Yanni, his assistant, made me feel very comfortable, and the blood lab technician was another angel in my path, very expert and quick. I felt so safe and cared for! Even the lady at the sign-in kiosk was sweet as pie, personally helping me to sign in for the lab work, as I am a senior. I can't say enough good things about Wellstar Health Park at Vinings!

My Cardio Doctor was extraordinary. He was looking closely at my recent medical exam and my heart history. Also he read into my current health and notice that I have a heart valve concern which defiantly needs looking into which if uncheck could shorten my retirement in a dangerous way with me not being close to health care. We will both know more after test.
