Very good!

My PA really cared about me while I was there and gave me suggestions to help.

Booth has been my cardiologist for 29+ years. He is a good listener and compassionate physician. He keep my heart ticking!

I think the NP was Mrs. Cowherd? (a tall, thin, older woman). She was able to gain the necessary information while being professional with a kind spirit. Surprisingly, she remembered a conversation we had 3 years prior about her church! She was efficient while being friendly.Dr. Booth is amazing. I asked him a little about my heart murmor and his answer was like a medical encyclopedia with references to things I could understand like wind sock and valves/pipes. He gave me confidence and understanding about my heart condition. More Importantly, he and the NP took time to assist me with something I did not consider related to my heart condition -- joint and left hip pain. They referred me to to other professionals and the next day I received a call to schedule the next appointment! I left my appointment feeling fortunate and incredibly impressed, even inspired, by the medical team that I have access to. In a world where we regularly complain about healthcare and regret having to go to medical appointments, I was reminded of the high level of dedication and disciplined intelligence of the individuals maintaining our very lives. Thank you.

In processing an unexpected diagnosis, with negative health implications, the explanations of the problems and the treatments that could be pursued were rather overwhelming. It was only later that I thought of questions I should have asked at the time. If, in cases like these, there was some kind of quick followup with the PA to address new questions or concern, that I think would be enormously beneficial. It is hard to absorb a lot of information while at the same time asking important relevant questions, especially in a stressful situation.
