I had an excellent relationship with my cardiologist in Tennessee, Jennifer Morrow is a very talented physician that listens to her patients and genuinely cares so finding someone new here in Alabama I expected to be a challenge. I did some research, asked around and I got super lucky and found another cardio fit for myself.
Karl Hakmiller is a sharp and friendly doctor, who like my previous cardiologist, listens to and cares about his patients. It was on my very first visit with him last year that I discovered that he's a New England Patriots AND a Red Sox fan, which is just a big fat bonus :-) But that's no surprise actually as he is from Connecticut, got his B.A. at John Hopkins and his MD at Tufts in Boston then did his cardio fellowship in Maine, so a real New Englander!!Okay enough homey talk back to the less fun stuff LOL
He is a part of Cardiology Associates with several locations in AL and one in MS., mine is in Foley next door to the hospital. They're an impressive group of doctors, nurses and technicians that perform a big variety of testing in-house including stress tests, ecg, CT, pacemaker, pulnonary and much more. In addition to traditional heart and vascular studies, they're a leader in advanced cardiovascular imaging. In 2005 Cardiology Associates was the first private practice in the country to offer cardiac computed tomography, CT, using the GE 64-slice CT scanner. In 2010, we added the additional capabilities of cardiac PET CT, impresive indeed.
They also have automated check-in kiosks that scan your license & insurance cards, text reminders and online patient portals so these folks have got it going on from a technology perspective and I'm liking that.
Bottom line: I really like my new doc and I feel very comfortable with level of care, knowledge, experience and the fact that he's a nice guy all works for me. Highly recommended!! read more
