Dr. Duong is caring and communicative, the technician that performs the ultrasounds and ECHO is fantastic. Front office great to work with in scheduling. Dr. Calarese was terrific for the vascular consult. Really pleased with everyone’s kindness and professionalism in communicating so detailed.

I have seen both Dr. Mann and Dr. Calarese and they have both been very good! The office staff members have all been very kind and helpful. I also appreciate the fact that all of the testing needed is done in the same facility. I had been referred to YRMC for a cardiologist, but they were booked up until January, which was ten months out at the time. I did my own research online and found Peak Heart and they were able to get me in fairly quickly. Thank you all for being here, you're greatly needed and appreciated!

I saw Dr. Calarese, he was the best vascular surgeon I have seen since being in Prescott, and I have seen 3 others! I would highly recommend. Just know that the people who book the appointments sometimes overbook, and the wait times can be longer than your scheduled appointment time.

Dr Calarese was attentive, patient in listening and understood expressions given by patient. First time visits at a doctor’s office can cause nervousness; but, Dr Calarese made it a calm and positive first time appointment visit. The front desk receptionist was very kind, and ready to assist with a smile. Dr. Calarese’s nurse assistant, was attentive. Thank you for your service, Peak Heart & Vascular Office.
