"Well, the doctors may be well recommended but the office staff is terrible. If you have to have a preauthorization from an insurance company and I'm sure they KNOW it can take 2 weeks, you don't send it in 2 business days before the appointment..."
— LocalityBiz Review"Front desk staff is super rude, some nurses rude or uncaring, no follow ups after procedure, problems with scheduling..worst cardiology place ever had to be seen by"
— WebMD Review"There is no room for screw-ups in cardiac medicine and negligence can be deadly. BTW, they forgot to schedule a post surgical appointment for the stint, ineptitude marches on at Prairie Heart."
