Of course, there’s some trepidation and nervousness about going to a cardiologist, but this was mildly diffused upon greeting the first receptionist.
My nervousness and trepidation came from past experiences with doctors and PAs that were more concerned about their ego than patient care. So I looked elsewhere and my new PCP sent a referral to Peake .
We were led to a small room and a very capable young woman took down all my information. But the best part of the experience was when the doctor himself, Dr Mehta, came into the room, followed by a young woman who was a breath of fresh air with her authenticity.
Dr. Mehta Immediately engaged me in casual conversation while his assistant paid attention to the computer and typed all the information And I have to say I really liked this assistant.
I was immediately impressed that he conducted his consultation in such a manner, Whereas most doctors are hidden behind a computer screen. I dont understand that process at all. The answers are in the patient.
The consultation went extremely well because Dr. Mehta shared his full attention, his wisdom And his expertise. I was given an EKG when I first went into the room and the doctor checked out my heart with many different positions with his stethoscope. I found him to be extremely compassionate with a slight sense of humor and extremely intelligent and extremely capable. He had a talent to put me at ease. My upper blood pressure is usually over 170 when I go to these places which is called white coat Syndrome. But my upper was 133 on the first blood pressure test and After speaking with the doctor My blood pressure went down to 120. (I have been telling many doctors and nurses and PAs that I don’t have high blood pressure and that I only do when I entered these places, but they still prescribe blood pressure medication for me which I refuse to take)
This experience declared the correct approach andvenvironment for working with patients
I really like the doctor and his unique and inspirational assistant. By her entering the room told me this Peake Heart Honored all individuals to be authentic and to express who they are. She immediately diffused the arrogance and stuffiness of many of these western medical centers. Good for her!
