I have been trying for an hour and after being hung up on once already to make an appointment. Look scheduling at a pediatric cardiologist is stressful in the nature of the need for an appointment to begin with but the ridiculous hold time is over the top. I guess since you are the ONLY pediatric cardiologist in the area you can treat people like this and they do not have any choice but to accept it. I really hope that this is not indicative of the care we will receive.that is if I can even get an appointment.

4 years ago, my daughter was born with a pulmonary stenosis. Dr Christine Glasow has been the most fantastic doctor through the entire experience. She is warm and encouraging and always remembers little details about our family. She explains things thoroughly and helps us understand the short and long term possibilities. I'm happy that my daughter is doing so well and only needs yearly checkups, but sad that we only get to see Dr Glasow and the rest of the staff once a year.

My 17 yr old son and I really loved Dr. Sing. He thoroughly explained everything, didn't rush us, took our concerns seriously and he patiently answered questions. He also took the time to help us know what to do to alleviate and/or prevent symptoms Etc. Very respectful and thoughtful doctor. Office staff were great!

Everything from first call to post appointment was so smooth. The staff is genuinely kind and super efficient. There was not any waiting around! Things went fast but every base was covered. I love that we were asked many times if we could think of any questions. Excellence in procedures and professionally personable.

Wonderful experience! Staff was so nice and super efficient! We were in and out under an hour with EKG and sono of the heart with my 2.5 year old. Everyone was great. We would love to say we will come back but we got a good health report so instead we will say, "totally recommend"! Thank you guys for caring for us Dr Verma!

Was highly recommended this practice, first impressions are very crucial to me. I walk in the office and approach front desk. NO greeting and blonde girl is the first person I encounter and she has white headphones on listening to music. Just WOW! Took a couple of minutes to realize i was standing in front of her as she was busy on her phone. My visit after that was smooth and thank God my child is good but the check in process left a bad taste in my mouth. I hope if I ever go to Children's with an emergency they are not wearing headphones :-

Horrible experience. Did not listen to any of the issue's our son was having. His heart rate is dropping to 29 at night and even pausing. They are telling us even though his arms and legs go numb and he has chest pain from time to time, everything is perfect. It took 3 weeks for them to get back to us. We already knew they was not taking this seriously so he has another appointment with Wednesday with another doc who believes he will need a pacemaker. Don't take your child here, waste of valuable time. Super disappointed since they was so great during our first visit.
