I was pleased with my appt. w/Tom Forton but I was a little bummed that he had to set me up with a different cardiologist then the one I saw in the hospital but his schedule was too booked so I would have to wait to long.

The person I saw was very good and I thought through. However, he still need to consult with the doctor that was in the office. Why couldn't I have seen that doctor when I was there knowing that I was headed for surgery and my blood pressure was high.
