Overall Rating: 2.0 2022-05-04

Avoid this place. Absolutely amateur hour. I had to call a week after my appointment and they still hadn’t sent the authorization request to my insurance company. Zero care or compassion regarding the delay.

They spam you with multiple calls, texts and emails when a follow up appointment is noted, but can’t be scheduled until tests are done. I’m surprised they didn’t send someone to the house and knock on my door.

Dr Goyal was dismissive and uninterested in the data from my Kardia ECG and Apple Watch. Implied my weight was the the likely cause despite doing no tests.

Overall the lack of care and compassion is astonishing.
