I have been trying for an hour and after being hung up on once already to make an appointment. Look scheduling at a pediatric cardiologist is stressful in the nature of the need for an appointment to begin with but the ridiculous hold time is over the top. I guess since you are the ONLY pediatric cardiologist in the area you can treat people like this and they do not have any choice but to accept it. I really hope that this is not indicative of the care we will receive.that is if I can even get an appointment.

4 years ago, my daughter was born with a pulmonary stenosis. Dr Christine Glasow has been the most fantastic doctor through the entire experience. She is warm and encouraging and always remembers little details about our family. She explains things thoroughly and helps us understand the short and long term possibilities. I'm happy that my daughter is doing so well and only needs yearly checkups, but sad that we only get to see Dr Glasow and the rest of the staff once a year.

My 17 yr old son and I really loved Dr. Sing. He thoroughly explained everything, didn't rush us, took our concerns seriously and he patiently answered questions. He also took the time to help us know what to do to alleviate and/or prevent symptoms Etc. Very respectful and thoughtful doctor. Office staff were great!

Everything from first call to post appointment was so smooth. The staff is genuinely kind and super efficient. There was not any waiting around! Things went fast but every base was covered. I love that we were asked many times if we could think of any questions. Excellence in procedures and professionally personable.
