In patients' words
"Dr Vera was extremely dismissive, didn’t listen to my concerns, and made snap judgements that made me feel uncomfortable. I left the visit feeling like I needed to see a different cardiologist."
— Healthgrades reviewer"The office staff is incompetent and unhelpful. They don't give you all of the correct information upfront... I won't return here."
— Healthgrades reviewer"He put a stint in my husband's "widow maker" artery which I know saved his life. We trust him implicitly and would recommend him highly."
