In patients' words

"Really terrible service, typical of HCA. Had an indifferent & unpleasant doc the first time... Need an appointment? No one ever answers the phone, and I tried over and over."

— WebMD review regarding The Heart Institute Northside Hospital Campus

"The Dr made jokes about me while walking through the hallway because my intake form said sore throat. He then told me I have the man flu insinuating I'm making everything up and exaggerating how I feel."
