I am a heart failure patient. I was there to discuss an "episode" that concerned me. We went through past tests, got an EKG and set up a plan to further explore my situation. I felt better just by having the discussion.

My doc Dr. Ghforian saved my life! He figured out I had amaloid disease not cardiomyopathy and I had a liver issue which heart and liver were both transplanted. I cannot express how much respect I have for him. He is a great man and very humble.
