Talk about what we would schedule changing out defibrillator next visit
Dr Bernard is amazing.
Good
As noted above. Dr. Bernard listened to questions and explained answers in detail and in a way that was easy to understand
Doctor Bernard is the best can not say enough good things about him.
All good
I really like & trust Dr. Bernard but during my visit I needed to remind him of agreements we made re: annual heart monitor. I felt rushed thru the appt. If we met for 5 minutes, that is generous. I wanted to review the heart monitor results and he showed me an example (10 pgs. of report). He comforted me by saying my AFib is not worrisome at present, after a flutter repair in 2022 he told me I would move into AFib within 5 years so it was/is important to me that we discuss progression, if any, and what I need to watch for. Just honest info - I really like & trust him and am glad he is a part of my medical team. No issue.
Care providers I feel care about me.
