Dr Harzand and 1st nurse were outstanding. The 2nd nurse was rushing and did not seem to care if I understood what I was supposed to do with using a heart monitor.

Dr. Harzand was very professional, but personalble as well. When I balked at the suggestion to see a neurologist, he asked me to think it over....and do him a favor by seeing one. He really cares about the patients he sees.

Dr Harzand is one of the best doctors I've had and I can't imagine seeing anyone else regarding my cardio care. Always friendly, kind, concerned and helps me make great decisions about my cardio treatment, often going the extra mile just to be sure nothing was missed regarding my a-fib diagnosis.

I was very impressed with Dr. Harzand. I brought in recent blood tests, EKG and pathology reports so he could have Information If he needed It. He was very happy to read through the paperwork and used It to help make a plan. I appreciate him being so thorough and taking time with me.

He wasn't concerned about me having to pay for echocardiogram that I could not afford. Even though I told him I couldn't afford it he still set me up for another echo, due to the fact that I could not afford the first one. I will have to cancel this next upcoming echocardiogram because I cannot afford it! I don't have $2000.

Dr. Harzand is very easy to talk with. He explained his proposed following on visit and what he would like to have done prior to the visit. Dr. Harzand was the only Doctor to explain why I needed to take a certain medication rather than the typical "It is recommended by the AMA". Fantastic!
