Default Searching for a Cardiologist

I'm looking for a Cardiologist without a strong accent, easy to understand, and who has time to listen to me, instead of talking 90 mph and trying to see as many people as possible in one day. Any recommendations?

Stay away from Citrus Cardiologist group. The office staff is horrible, waiting since August 20 for a reply, about a procedure that was postponed. The doctors may be five star, but ….. can’t get an appointment or any communication from the office staff.

Another vote for Dr. Couturier. I've seen him yearly for the past several years but my husband sees him more frequently. His staff and office are very responsive. And his associate, Dr. Inamdar, specializes in electrophysiology (as in arrhythmia), I believe.

Dr Nitza Alvarez, at the Sharon Morse Building near The Villages Hospital. She - and her staff - are wonderful.

I totally agree about Village Heart and Vein, but also want to give a vote for Citrus Cardiology. We’ve been going there since 2012. The doctors are superb and very honest. They spend a lot of time explaining and answering questions. If I were the person who could not get questions answered regarding my procedure that needs to be rescheduled, I would leave a message for the doctor’s nurse and let them know I NEED to speak with someone regarding my upcoming procedure. That all this stress is not good for my heart.

Dr nitza however does not do operations if needed . she has a great bedside manner however. She will refer you to someone that does but if I'm going to have a cardiologist I want someone that I can trust to do their own work on me. Also after my last heart attack I was told I would need a pacemaker hi everybody and when I went into the hospital found out I'm for my heart was not damaged nearly as much as they said it was and Medicare would not pay for the pacemaker so just discharged me after putting me under and putting me through this stress

Agree. Dr Alvarez is the best! Very caring, thorough, and up to date in her treatment.
