    I had a very positive experience with the cardiac center and with Dr. Hesselson. I was seen in a timely manner. My questions were answered. I felt like everybody had plenty of time to talk to me and work with me. And I left there confident with the outcome of the session and our plan to go forward. And I thank you very much.

      Did not like his personality or attitude! Wouldn't give you time to answer his question. He would start talking over you. WOULDN'T give you time to EXPLAIN why you did, or didn't, do something in particular. Was simply trying to explain my insurance situation, which he didnt care about, but was eager to put on MyChart that I was not answering his questions. But, then will write up a report on Mychart where it is all the patient's fault, and make remarks about patient. If he's not going to be able to cut on you, he has no desire in doctoring you! Have no desire to see him again! The other doctors should really stop referring patients to him! Wish my doctor wouldn't have stuck me with him!! He will be told too.

      Yes, I was very well impressed with the facility. The people out front, secretaries, done a good job. And getting to see the doctor, I really liked his approach on what's going on with me. And so I really enjoyed he took the time to find out things about me. I'm pretty sure he already knew, but I really appreciated his approach. Thank you.

      I think that all records weren't there or any documentation to arrythmias so he felt it wasn't heart related and said he would recommend removal of recorder to referral dr. He was very nice and one nurses contacted me to correct some medication listings that were old. Waiting time was very good and it is hard to give an overall great opinion of a doctor on only an initial encounter but as encounters increase and patient and dr bond forms it is easier to know if it is a mutual respected one that gets to bottom of patients issue.

      Not a thing right now. But I am glad that there was an excellent cardiac team when I came In and I was having a pretty bad heart attack and they were able to save my life in the emergency room the got me the cath lab and did a Cath and found I had one of the arteries 95% blocked.

      Yes, earlier when I pressed one and it meant no, I meant to press four and I'm sorry. But no, the doctor was very great. His workers there was great. The little young girl that took care of me was great to me and my wife. I would definitely recommend this man in case if someone asked me how he was. I enjoyed him, I liked him, and I'm just trusting him through the hand of the Lord to get me through this with my heart. Thank you.

      Dr Hesselson is fabulous. He is quite knowledgeable, answered all my questions in a manner in which I easily understood, asked if I had more questions, told and explained to me other things I was not aware of but which I needed to know. Plus, I had absolutely no pain or problems with my surgery or convalescence. As well as these things he is very polite and congenial. Great Doctor, very nice gentleman. Thank you, sir, for giving me excellent care and explaining everything about my procedure and how to proceed in the future!
