One of THE finest doctors, my husband and I have ever had the pleasure to know. We moved here last…read moreyear and my husband had never had a problem with his heart. Then we move to Missouri, he turns 64 and all hell breaks loose. The night he wanted to go to the hospital, we decided to go to Urgent Care in Jeff City because we weren't quite sure about Lake Regional. After a quick exam and an EKG, the doctor on duty strongly suggested we get to the ER at St.Mary's and check my husband in. He ended having a serious issue with his heart (although not a heart attack) and needed care immediately. We met Dr. Sanfelippo in the hospital, after my husband was checked in. From the first second we met him, through the procedure my husband underwent with the good Dr. to the last appt. he had with him a few weeks ago, he has been an amazing gentleman! He is kind, friendly, but not overly so, compassionate and truly a decent, wonderful person. He cares deeply about his patients and it shows. I asked my husband to bring me to him if anything ever happens to my heart. Did I mention that he totally knows what the heck he's talking about? Ps. I recently found out that one of my co-workers sees him as well, and before I knew who she was talking about, she said the SAME things about him. Dr. Sanfelippo is awesome!

I didn't feel like I got a thorough investigation into the issues I was dealing with for my heart…read more I assumed that a practice with about 12 cardiologists would have AT LEAST 15+ years experience each, and that's a lot of experience and wisdom. Sadly, no. When I inquired if there was another test that would give more information to what was going on, I was told by a nurse on my clinical team that if the Dr thought I needed another test, he would have ordered it. She took it upon herself to answer my question rather than taking it to the Dr. Other things happened also, but it turned out I had to leave and go to place that really knew their cardiology. I am sure many people get helped here, but be your own advocate and dig for information about your condition. Mo Heart Center is like a drive-through cardiology and no deep dives, or at least for me anyway. I decided to get a consultation at Barnes Jewish and eventually ended up in a very good cardiology group somewhere else. Before my first appointment, I had asked a lady in a store in Columbia if she knew anything about Mo Heart Center group. Sometimes the people that live in the same town have information about a business . She did. She said they couldn't find out what was wrong with her. Several of her family members had died unexpectedly from a heart issue. She ended up in St. Louis and got her answers there. I couldn't recommend this practice if it were possible for you to go to St. Louis or Kansas City for your treatment. Otherwise network with friends and family members for cardiologist references if you are looking for one in Columbia. I am sure there are some good ones.

Our physicians and highly qualified medical staff provide comprehensive adult cardiology services including both invasive and non-invasive cardiology, interventional cardiology and clinical cardiac electrophysiology.

Watch out for this place, they have very poor execution in their practice. I will not step foot in…read morethis place ever again, if it's between dying and going to this place to be treated, kill me please. They provide very poor service, very slow and could care less how long you are there and don't care to do anything at a quicker more attentive speed. I went in for a gout flare up, they go we think you have a broken foot, I knew I didn't have a broken foot, I told them exactly what it was, they have been harassing me to pay this large bill, that they created, I have asked them to stop calling and contacting me, but they keep calling and harassing me, just this morning they forced through an illegal payment on my bank account, they are into fraud and scamming as well, how did they get my bank information to put this charge through, I urge everyone that has had the same or similar experience to seek legal advice and go after them, this is bs, no one should me treated like this, stay away don't go through thier doors they will take advantage of you anyway they can, I DO NOT RECOMMEND.

This is our third time here and my husband's doctor is Dr. SanFillippo. A cooler, more laidback…read moreprofessional, you may never find in this lifetime. He's is his late 60's and is friendly, kind and super informative. This was a first time event for my husband and his wacky heart, but he was well taken care of by Dr. SanFillippo and later by his staff in the Coumadin clinic. His personal staff at his office is a bit of hit and miss. Either they are super nice and friendly like the good doctor or, they don't introduce themselves and bark their questions like the gal who helped up today. D- on customer service for her, but the rest of the ladies are A++++. With an appt, there is minor waiting time and the ladies at the desk are good with working with your work schedule to find you an appt. I am a bit younger than my husband but God forbid, I ever have an issue with my heart, I've already told him to ask for Dr. SanFillippo. If my parents had a cardiologist like this, I would totally be jumping for joy....A++++
