Dr Deriso provides suggestions that are useful to all aspects of my heart issues. He takes time and asks questions before suggesting. We talked about better hydration with electrolytes and not just water. It's very much appreciated. He's also willing to work with me on scheduling when I get called out of town. A true asset to Wellstar.

Dr. Deriso is the most thorough doctor that I have. He has saved my life in the past when I was prescribed a drug that was lowering my heart rate and blood pressure by another doctor. He is wonderful. He recommended me to a urologist. He's ACEs. Thank you.

Yes, I am most impressed with Dr. Deriso. He's the best cardiologist, in my opinion. I've been with him quite some time. He explains everything to me and gives me a chance to, you know, figure out what to do regarding my health. And I really appreciate Vining's healthcare and also in COP. Thank you for allowing me to give this report. Thank you so much. Bye-bye.

This provider I met in 2015 when I was having a heart attack. I've never seen this man before in my life. I am a clergy and I trust him in the name of Jesus Christ. Not just saying it because I'm a clergy, it's because I've seen his concern and my health and well-being. Well done, a million percent for George DeRiso.
