A definite wake up call happened when I was referred to Dr. Calvin Y Wong, cardiologist last month by my primary care physician. I thought I had a pretty good lifestyle with the marathons and an super endurance that could not be stopped. To make the long story short, my PCP found something in my blood work that could pose a threat to my health if not detected early. And as such, I made the appointment to Dr Calvin Wong @ the Pacific Cardiology LLC to see what was going on with my heart. Maybe too much marathons? Only 52 in 5 years. :-)
Dr Calvin Y Wong shares his medical office with Dr. Gregg M Yamada, also a cardiologist. They call their medical practice "Pacific Cardiology LLC". They have a wonderful support staff that greets you when you enter the room. Located at the new medical office building recently built on the corner of Keeaumoku Street and South Beretania Street, it is the newest building on the block that I thought it was a condo - at first. The waiting room was really nice, with classical music playing within the room. It was a mellow and pleasant place to be in, especially if you are nervous about the experience.
It was my first experience and it was good overall. After filling out the medical paperwork, showing my ID, and insurance card, I was taken to an examination room, where a medical assistant took my BP and performed an EKG. After that, I waited for Dr. Wong for the consultation and the results. Dr Wong was very much professional and I enjoyed my visit, even though I had expected different results in the results. He explained what he thought I may have, while we exchanged my confidential medical history, so he can input it on his computer.
All in all, it was a good experience here at Pacific Cardiology LLC and I will need to come back here anyway to follow through with the tests that he has prescribed to me. Hoping for the best. It's just disheartening to be in this place, when I seem to take too good of a care of myself these last few years.
Maybe I am missing something.
