My dad was insisting he did not have any heart trouble and no on checked his heart or did any test on him. The Dr. Assured him they did and told him when and finally remembered. Very patient with him.

The situation needed immediate intervention and after explaining what all happened after a serious car she was immediately taken care of the situation which probably saved my life in regards to blood clots I got while in Rehabilitation

Very good visit

Jennifer Bonafede helped me understand why I needed to prioritize my health concerns and the remedies to fix them. We went through each concern and she helped me map out my next steps in regards to which priorities needed to be the top three. In a world of information, my life feels like a dumpster fire most of the time. In our conversations, what I thought was a priority before I got there, got knocked out of the top 20 and a new top 3 moved up my list. I don't mind putting in the effect but there's a lot of distractions that can knock me off course. Jennifer got me back on my path. I am grateful.

This was my first visit with Jennifer. I was very impressed that she had looked over my health history and could tell events from many years back. She took time to explain everything that her and Dr. Singh thought might possibly be going on with my heart. She took time to answer my questions, and her demeanor was very calming about the upcoming procedure.
