They talked to her while they were doing their thing, they thanked her for being so patient when they were done, and the sonogram tech let me lay on the table next to her and hold her hand/cuddle her while she was getting the echo.

The staff likes jokes and it made it all much more light. The treatment is odd and comical sounding when you first hear of it, but it helped my husband immensely.

Worth office by phone was outstanding, commendable.

I am grateful that my cardiologist was enlightened enough to recommend EECP. Really helped in…read moremy cardiac rehab, and, notably, after 7 weeks of EECP rehab, and a low level of exercise, I got back on the mountain bike, and felt strong - like I had been training straight through. Legacy is very professionally run, and all the folks at Legacy I dealt with were great to fantastic. I even got a suggestion to test for sleep apnea there that none of several doctors had thought of. Lo and behold I did indeed have a mild case, a very good thing to fix to get healthy. If you have a heart condition you owe it to yourself to research EECP. For many, many people, with diet and exercise and lifestyle changes supporting, it can help the body create a natural bypass that makes a stent or bypass surgery unnecessary. It is a crying shame that it is not used more often as the FIRST resort for more people - saving surgery as the last resort.

Dr. Chafizadeh represents just about everything a patient could ask of a physician: He's warm and…read morecommunicative, radiating positivity but always realistic, and works with a near-superhuman intensity. I became his patient during an ER visit that turned into a two-week hospital stay, and have returned to the Cardio Texas practice for followup visits going on three years now. In the hospital he was a real presence with whom I had regular contact, not just the behind-the-scenes doctor who shows up after much suspense to dryly dispense bits of test results and prognosis. He personally supervised some of my in-hospital testing, something I don't think I've ever experienced in my years of helping my parents navigate their hospital stays. I would frequently hear his voice down the hall and the nurses would joke about his intensity, always with fondness and respect. On visits as a patient at Cardio Texas, I again hear his voice echoing up and down the halls as I wait for my turn in my exam room. The man never seems to slow down. His NP assistant Beth and nurse Lori have been faultless from the beginning. I've never had any significant problems with scheduling or any other aspect of my experience as a patient. I believe Dr. Chafizadeh is one of the principal doctor/partners in the Cardio Texas practice. From what I've experienced, I would presume excellence from any of the doctors associated with Cardio Texas. If this review seems effusive, let me assure you, every word of it comes... wait for it... from the heart *rimshot* - Cheers!

Well he survived but Cishek and her team sent him back home from the hospital a few times only to return a few days later. It turned out that he should never have been discharged in the front place!! A lot of mistakes were made in his treatment which immensely prolonged his suffering and that of his family. Worse of all -- she has absolutely horrific bedside manners and her cold pronouncements of his medical future devastated him and drained his will to fight. She was equally ruthless with his parents when they tried to get some assurances from her. This doctor suffers from a God complex. No one should treat patients and their parents in such an atrociously insensitive manner!!!

Mom's still unwell, but I had to stop in my tracks to call attention to an extraordinary nurse who has likely saved my mom from a debilitating stroke just this week. Meleah Kimball is both compassionate and unwavering in her care of heart patients. She listened to my mom's needs and then helped me navigate the dangers of heart failure, atrial fibrillation and blood clots while adhering to our specific wants. When things got scary, she stepped in and made next day appointments for us. Meleah set us up with a general cardiologist who makes my mom laugh and pay attention to his advice (no small feat!). I think Meleah hand-picked him. Meleah got back to me on several occasions just this week within an hour of my reaching out. When I wasn't understanding what she was trying to accomplish, she explained in words that I could comprehend. When I was being obstinate on my mom's behalf, Meleah stepped in and countered with irrefutable plans that saved my mom. Isn't this the definition of a guardian angel?
