Angina pectoris is discomfort you feel when there is not enough blood getting to your heart muscle to meet its needs. The discomfort can occur in the chest, arms, shoulder, jaw, throat, or between the shoulder blades. It most commonly occurs in the chest. Angina can make your chest feel tight, heavy or squeezed.
Atrial fibrillation is an abnormal and irregular heartbeat. The result is usually a very fast heartbeat. During a normal heartbeat, one electrical impulse travels through the upper chambers of the hart (atria). This causes the chambers to contracts. The result is a 20 to 25 percent decrease in the heart's pumping efficiency.

Horrible experience. Caught in traffic because Bangerter was under construction. They said they had to reschedule since I was more than ten minutes late. Drove from West Valley and waisted time in traffic. Office wasn't busy. I fired the doctor and did not reschedule. I was having symptoms and not willing to see me immediately. Not a very good practice. Doctor was David Massinople.

I went in and met with Dr Hammond. Seems like a good doctor. He recommended a treatment but said they need to get authorization from insurance. I waited 2 weeks and called back. I was told that someone would call me back. Three days later I called again and was told someone would call me back. I called again and was told all I could do is wait for my insurance.
If that is the case, fine, but do not tell me someone will call me back if they are not going to. Better yet give me the information I need to call my insurance. This office has poor service and it doesn't seem like they care much. Update - In addition, I called my insurance to find out nothing had been submitted and that my insurance does not require pre-auth for what I needed. Very maddening.
