Everyone was very helpful and took time to listen to my questions. The doctor was very friendly and listened to everything me and my wife asked and had answers for everything. Plus told us a lot about my options. Excellent job very helpful. Could not have asked for a better staff.

Dr.John Trahanmas was in with me 5mins. Or less. He said good news you don't need surgery, the cardiologist will be in shortly. Then he left.
