  • Well, in my case, I had several care providers. I'm here as practicing visits to find out what my options are about my health. I have a heart condition. And I found that, you know, there were so many different care providers, it would be hard to be specific in any way, except to say normally, typically they were wonderful. Great communication, very friendly, very informative, very knowledgeable, very supportive. Anything you could ask for was evident in the way they interacted with me.

  • Nurse was thorough, knowledgeable, listened well and explained things clearly. The continuity of seeing the same nurse at each post cardiac transplant visit has been very important and the nurse is current and up-to-speed on my condition. A good relationship has been established; very important the nature of long term care required.
