  • The methods used by the nurse for BP measures not acceptable. My legs were dangling and my arm was not supported. My need to request corrective active to the nurse certainly raised my BP to higher than normal. Nurses at a premier cardiology facility need to do better.

  • This was my first time meeting Dr. Chung. I was pleasantly surprised by his manner and interest in my situation. He had a great, friendly personality for what can be a scary topic (heart issues). He took ample time with me to explain various options, complete with online videos and drawings on a whiteboard. I was surprised that he was not a bit more familiar with some details from my past. I don't know whether that information was not available, or if he waited for me to explain all that myself. Overall, I'm very glad that he was assigned to me [redacted].

    2025-11-23

  • Dr. Chung has been extremely accurate in terms of his predictions about what might happen and his prognosis. And certainly during subsequent meetings after an ablation that he provided, I've been healthy and haven't had any additional concerns about my tachycardia. So I can't say enough about him. And he's a good person, too.
