"Very disappointing visit, and rude receptionist. Made an appointment for my common issue, upon arriving was told they do not have the equipment to treat my condition. Waited over a week for them to send a referral to another doctor. When calling to check on appointment I was greeted by the rude and short receptionest Jenny. Not a positive experience"

"The staff and Dr. at Lewis Gale electrophysiology are exceptional, kind caring and knowledgeable about the electrical part of the heart. Dr. was great, explained everything thoroughly. I highly recommend them to anyone needing electrophysiology care."

— Reviewer via drracheleidelman.com

"I have been misdiagnosed twice from this hospital... Not only misdiagnosed but completely brushed off for very real symptoms... I find it unfair to pay for quality care that you didn't receive until you went elsewhere."
