I had to find a new cardiologist and I'm very impressed with the referral I got from my PCP. He…read moresent me to Cardiology Associates and by the luck of the draw I got Karl V. Hakmiller, MD, FACP, FACC specializing in clinical & invasive cardiology who got his MD at Tufts AND he's a New England Patriots fan, how cool is that?! Trust me it's cool. They have got their in-house and online tech in order. You can request an appointment online and in the Access Patient Portal access you can request a prescription refill, submit questions and update information plus another portal for a quick and easy way to pay your bill online. It's pretty slick and works well, I like good tech. Recommend!

This place is a straight up money grab. Care is non existent. They ran tests on my mother who is…read morea long time patient billed insurance and never called her back! We tried repeatedly to get results. Five calls in three weeks and it took me standing at the front desk to get answers. The staff even complain about how bad it is. This place should be shut down! Do not recommend !

My experience with this guy Dr. Peterson was horrible and if I hadn't listen to my gut and get a…read moresecond opinion I wouldn't be writing this post; please use caution with this place. Saw him (Dr. Peterson) last December 2022 with symptoms related to the heart I was never asked to fill out paperwork reference to current/past medical issues or anything about family history. That was the first flag. Dismissive isn't even the word to describe this guy during my visit. Anything outside his cookie cutter experience he is lost and not your guy. No tests ordered or concerns just wanted me to take salt pills. That was the second flag. Thank God my husband and I had enough sense to know something was wrong and Dr. Petersons recommendation of 'salt pills' was code for 'I don't know what I'm doing' I'm now blessed with a real Cardiologist from across the Bay who listened, took family history, ran tests and saved my life with an ICD implant due to irregular heart rhythms and sudden death. Final thought, just don't.

Dr.Peterson is very caring and takes his time to explain in detail the results of every test..he…read morecomes highly recommended in fact before we moved I researched very many cardio drs to find the best one.. his office is so peaceful never hustle and bustle like some others we have been to..he also has the capability to do in office testing,stress tests, echos etc..his office staff is amazing to very upbeat..

Thomas Hospital arguably has the best, little known restaurant in the Fairhope Area. Very delicious…read moreand nice variety. Only drawback: the fool from the ala carte is not warm enough. Today's scrambled eggs had to be served as when one has to slice meatloaf. I like it. Don't expect great ambiance. After all, it's a hospital.

The level of systemic negligence and lack of communication at this facility is unacceptable. During…read morean emergency room visit for severe neurological symptoms, we explicitly requested a full tick-borne illness and Lyme disease panel. The attending Infectious Disease physician assured us the test was being completed. ​After being discharged, we waited two full weeks under the impression the lab results were pending, only to discover the test was never even drawn in the ER. We only found out when a lab order randomly showed up two weeks later--after my husband had already been started on antibiotics, which completely compromises the accuracy of standard antibody testing. ​Patients seeking emergency care rely on doctors to follow through on confirmed orders. Dropping the ball on basic diagnostic testing and leaving a family in limbo for weeks shows a shocking lack of patient care coordination.

I had an excellent relationship with my cardiologist in Tennessee, Jennifer Morrow is a very…read moretalented 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!!

I have Medicare and a supplement plan F and realize how financially impacted medical services are under these programs. Some medical facilities tend rush you through.

The office experience at my scheduled 9:20 am with Dr Kendall Douglas, today 3/28/25 was a joke…read more They were way behind seeing patients at the Foley, AL office. After waiting for over a hour I had to leave for another appointment. No one on the staff there spoke about when the doctor would see me or seemed to care. So I guess I just wasted my co-pay and would not be surprised if they bill me for the appointment. This is a very unprofessional group I do not recommend them. I will look for a group of cardiologist that have some degree of integrity as it is my experience if the office is this poorly run it is a strong possibility the doctors will mirror their staffs skill sets.
