In patients' words
"The cardiology department is run terribly. I have sent messages to the Doctor and they go unanswered for days to weeks at a time. ... My cardiologist is great when you actually see her but everything else I have dealt with has led me to start shopping for a new doctor."
— a-better-place.com review"Surveys tell us that 95 percent of patients would recommend their heart physician after coming to us through the FAST program at Northwestern."
