Today I had my first appointment with Doctor Ray Johnson, Cardiologist at Piedmont Hospital…read more With any appointment with a Cardiologist, one has a certain amount of anxiety about what the results maybe of that experience. Well, Doctor Johnson, after a careful examination went over every detail of what pervious and today's EKG reading really meant. In plain layman terms he explained in a very friendly manner what the results were, putting to rest the dreadful feeling of doom by simply stating "your results are simply put, you're in great shape." And looking at the whole person history Dr. Johnson came up with some positive suggestions to stay in good health. His friendly manner will put any patient at ease and his explanation of the process ensures one is fully informed about their concerns and all questions are answered. Can I recommend- Yes I can and Do!

This doctor does not care about his patients and is negligent (or maybe it was just me). He…read morewouldn't listen to any of my thoughts or concerns, blew them off because he knows best, right? He doesn't give advice or education it was just, here - take this medicine. He neglected to tell me my cholesterol was extremely elevated from a year ago. The only reason I found out is because I asked him what the results were, a year later. Mind you he saw me a month after that lipid panel was drawn. I shouldn't have to follow up on my test results, that's his job. That is called negligence and If I would have had harm caused because of it (example heart attack) I could have sued him and would have! His PA is NO better, Lauren Wilson, but I will write a seperate review on her because that's a whole different story. Listen folks, I am a RN with a BSN and I know healthcare, and this is NOT the man you want manageing your heart. He does not care and is ABSOLUTELY not thorough.

A bunch of heartless doctors here. They literally ignored all my calls begging them to please help…read moretheir patient, as he was suffering badly after his surgery. I'm very aware of the laws, but they don't give you even ONE week of pain meds after a surgery here! That's pretty rotten. And then to straight up IGNORE my pleas for help? Only after i wrote a not great review did we suddenly get a call back. And guess what? We were told now it's "too late" to call in any more meds to help. It's only "too late" because you intentionally ignored us for an entire week!! What a joke. Heartless and rotten.

I can honestly say they are all great and really care for their patients. Some may be tougher to work for because they demand excellence, but I think patients reap the benefit of their high standards. GRU has created a strong service for anyone with Heart Rhythm issues (afib, pacemakers, ICD's). Also great care for vein issues, CABG, and general cardiac care.
