Cardiology Center of Englewood

From the moment I walked into this facility, I felt cared for. The front office is very kind as is the staff. Don't get me wrong, Dr. Pressman is very busy but he answered all my many questions and Libby his nurse keeps the train running smoothly. Today I had a stress test. Once again front office was very kind and the two (Devon and Shawn) administering the test were top notch. They were extremely thorough in explaining the process, kind and very compassionate. They never left the room while test was in process. Dr. Pressman was present while I was on treadmill. I feel blessed to be a patient.

Dr. Upendram saved my life! I was transported to the ER at Englewood Hospital with an active heart attack. 7:00 am. Within an hour I had a stint and was completely out of pain. The follow up with his office was efficient, helpful and friendly. Thank you Dr. U!

I can not speak for Drs as we never got past the front desk! We have been trying to get pacemaker check appt since 11/23 for my Dad. Office people were rude and did not listen, would cut me off mid sentence. We actually went to office to speak face to face 3x as they do not return phone calls. They promised last week 2/24 they would call within 2 days to make an appt. DID NOT HAPPEN. Monday I called a new place in Port Charlotte, my Dad has been for first visit and is now scheduled for pacemaker check!

If i could give them negative 100 stars i would! Took 6 pokes to get an iv for a stress test. Test came back abnormal, but didnt hear about it from them, rather my spine specialist. Had to scramble to find a cardio to find out what was up...in waiting to get into the new cardio, i had a heart attack. They blew my right femoral artery, needed a blood transfusion, got a blood infection, and a ginormous hematoma! Still have issues with my right groin! Never!!! Ever!!!

Although my experiences at the Englewood Cardiology Center have not been abysmal, they could have been far better. The staff or receptionists working behind the front desk of the office, were not as knowledgeable of the details of my appointments, conditions, or insurance, during my follow up appointments (by this time, they should have possessed a better grasp of these details, as I'd already informed them) as they should have been, and when I reminded them of certain information (which they asked me to do), they became irritable. Sitting within the waiting room of the Englewood Cardiology Center, was a very unpleasant experience for myself and my parents, whom I am visiting, here in Englewood. As Americans of partially Italian descent, whose outward appearance reflects this ethnicity, we were being given very angry and unpleasant stares, which seemed to convey racist hostility, by the largely Anglo Saxon patients, of this office. Lastly, a woman named Doctor Dee, with whom I spoke about my cardiac and carotid arteries, was quite irritable, as her receptionist colleagues had been, as well. Dr. Dee was very reluctant and unwilling, to discuss my health concerns, beyond a level, with which she seemed to be comfortable (which was not a discussion of any great depth). I made the request that Dr. Dee call me by telephone, on four occasions, and she decided to comply with my requests, on merely one occasion. Considering that my Insurance was compensating Dr. Dee and her aforementioned colleagues, for their efforts upon my behalf, I do not feel that my requests were unreasonable, and my treatment by them, should have reflected that reasonable compensation and payment.
