My cardiologist Dr. Al-Kazaz has been instrumental in my care. Not only does he explain everything to me, which is particularly helpful given how rare my condition is but he always really shows how much he cares about me as a person. He remembers me and details about how is important to me even above and beyond my heart issues. I feel so much safer and confident knowing he is my doctor. He is always responsive - even on the weekends when two of my episodes have occurred. He is patient, kind, knowledgeable and supportive.
