Hello, Dr. Paul Douglass has been our family cardiologist for well over 30 years and he is just awesome. From the very moment that we met him until the present moment where most of my current family are now patients of his, we have felt that we've been in great hands and told all the things we need to know even if we don't always follow them. He is always there, always concerned and always encouraging. He is a consummate professional and I thank the fact that I have been made aware of him, was made aware of him many, many years ago when we've been looking for a cardiologist for my mom. Thank you.

Hello, Dr. Paul Douglass has been our family cardiologist for well over 30 years and he is just awesome. From the very moment that we met him until the present moment where most of my current family are now patients of his, we have felt that we've been in great hands and told all the things we need to know even if we don't always follow them. He is always there, always concerned and always encouraging. He is a consummate professional and I thank the fact that I have been made aware of him, was made aware of him many, many years ago when we've been looking for a cardiologist for my mom. Thank you.
