My PCP recommended I visit this cardiac care practice after I fainted. She said they have a great…read morebedside, manner, are thorough, and would be the best doctors to determine if there is anything wrong with my heart. She was 100% correct. I was at this practice for 4 hours, and any test they could have given me they gave me. They found it highly unusual that a healthy 34-year-old woman would faint and did all the imaging and stress testing they could. I was appreciative that they went to such great lengths to rule heart problems out of my reason for fainting. I left with a holter monitor which came back with no detectable arrythmias. With their thoroughness I can rest easy that this fainting experience was a one off and my heart is in good shape.

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Pankaj Lal. I came in after a recent ER visit with concerns…read moreabout chest discomfort and several cardiovascular risk factors. Dr. Lal took the time to carefully review the detailed summary and test results I brought with me, listened attentively to my concerns, and answered all of my questions thoroughly. What impressed me most was that he did not rush the visit. He performed an echocardiogram after noticing a heart murmur, reviewed the results personally, explained his findings clearly, and developed a thoughtful plan for further evaluation with a nuclear stress test. Dr. Lal is knowledgeable, professional, patient, and compassionate. I left the appointment feeling informed, reassured, and confident that I am receiving excellent cardiovascular care. I highly recommend Dr. Lal and his team.

Johns Hopkins Community Cardiologists are excellent! They are the most knowledgeable and…read moreprofessional cardiologists in the area. I am a bit prejudiced when I say that Dr. Kumkumian is the best doctor. When you see a cardiologist you want a doctor who spends time with you and explains what is happening to you and what happens next. That is exactly what Dr. Kumkumian does. His is patient and kind. Cardiologists work with your heart and that is an important organ in your overall health. The office staff is very nice and well organized. I would like to give a shout out to Frances who installed my heart monitor. He explained everything about the process before he began. He even made sure I had some water after the procedure. That is going the extra mile. Another, shout out to LaShonda at the Shady Grove Office, she made sure to talk to the doctor about scheduling a follow up appointment that was very important. Thanks LaShonda. My only concern is trying to get through by phone to the Bethesda office. It takes a long time and can be frustrating. But, the quality of the doctors makes it all worth it. I have a few more appointments and tests in the near future and I am confident in my care at Johns Hopkins Cardiac Care.

My longterm chronic illness hasn't been addressed. Now though, I'd like to talk just about their…read morephones. The situation is abysmal, although improved. I usually faint when someone answers the phone in a timely fashion. Remember, it is a sick person who is calling. One of their tricks is / was to not answer at all from 3 p.m. to closing. Then after closing, they don't turn off the switchboard; conceivably you could be on hold overnight listening to the galling muzak, a genre of new age emo music known to disturb deep emotions and nerves. It's not happy, familiar, healing, or soothing. I've made requests that it be changed, but no, it's decades old. (240) 235-9100 if you are brave and curious. To me, it is no joke. They decided to have staff meetings and nobody was notified, the switchboard was not notified, so you'd be on hold all afternoon thinking they were there. One day I went into the office and there was a new sign on the door that blood work would henceforth not be performed and we would have to drive to a lab somewhere. I get the impression that the doctors are not supported by the JH organization, and so come off as uncaring. I feel an immense gulf. I don't feel like they are interested in my symptoms, don't give them much credence. I say "they", but I have stuck mainly with one clinician so I wouldn't have to repeat my story, but that may have been the wrong approach. MyChart is likewise abysmal. Recently, the doctors are allowed with patient permission to use AI summations of the visit; I endorse anything that will lighten the screen time load for the staff. I hope they are checking, because when I use AI I do need to make corrections. My goal is to not suffer, yet my encounters with Suburban Hosp and JHCPDB seem to do just the opposite or at least not provide relief or answers. There have been notable exceptions in the front office. I'm sharing here in hopes that someone will read this at JHCP and makes positive changes. The old model of dispensing health care does not work. They need to be proactive to the utmost, whatever it takes. I don't think this is discussed in their directives.
