    1st. get automatic doors wheel chairs , walkers have a hard time getting into the building just to see a Dr. or nurse. 2nd when setting up an appointment through the hospital or elsewhere other that personally with the patient, check when patient normally comes in for a visit, thank you for listening to my non angry rant

    This was a rescheduled visit by the office. I guess Dr. V was out of town or unavailable on my original appointment date. I work full-time and it is not always easy to reschedule appointments. I know that people are humans and have to miss work on occasion, but I hate to have to reschedule appointments. In late fall, the office also rescheduled other appointments with Dr. V. So although I really like him, I want him to go to work every day LOL.

    It is very unclear when you approach the windows at registration to know where to go. The workers are on the computer and don't look up or acknowledge the patients, making it an uncomfortable situation while waiting. You almost feel like you are bothering them sometimes.

    They were really good as far as everybody having hospitality and being kind and explaining things. But for me to be having ABCs and my heart rate getting up and stuff, there was no testing done at all. And the doctor told me he didn't recommend testing at this time, which I very well disagreed with. So now I've got to wait two months until I get tested. Because he said if I'm not doing better in two months, come back and he'll do some tests. I would rather did tests right then and figured out what was going on. But he did tell me to go and drink more water and stuff. I feel like that's not the issue that's going on. And even if it is, I would like to have the test just to have clarification and peace of mind.

    There's absolutely nothing that I'm concerned. They were exception, the resident, and the doctor. I love coming there to see the doctor. I wouldn't go anywhere else. How you let Lexington Cardiology, when my doctor retired 1/3 times in a row, and I'm grateful that you have him there. Thank you so very much.

    Dr. V wanted me to have an echocardiogram. The office staff told me the hospital would call me with appointment information. It has been 3 days since my appointment and I still haven't heard anything regarding the echocardiogram.
