When your mother is facing a serious heart condition, having confidence in her cardiologist is…read moreinvaluable. Dr. J has been exceptional in caring for my mother as she navigates complex issues related to leaky heart valves. Dr. J combines medical expertise with candidness and compassion. He is obviously passionate about his work and took the time to clearly explain my mother's condition, diagram her issues, and discuss a new valve repair option. He answered our questions candidly, thoughtfully, and precisely--and his recommendation was based on her individual circumstances. Dr. J presented the possible benefits and risks of a new cutting-edge tricuspid valve replacement option, scheduled her for relevant tests, and answered her (many) questions with interest and respect. If you or a loved one needs a cardiologist--especially for valve issues--we recommend Dr. J. We are grateful for Dr. J's guidance and would recommend him to anyone seeking excellent cardiac care.

I was referred to Dr. Peress by my cardiologist who said he is excellent at what he does. My nurse…read morepractitioner also recommended him. I was warned that Dr. Peress does not keep his appointments on time and may not have the best bedside manner, but that he is good at what he does, electrocardiology. My appointment was for 8:30 am and he took me on time. He walked in, introduced himself, looked me in the eye when he spoke with me and was very professional. I have nothing but the highest regard for him. He took a few minutes to review my EKG's, ask questions, and determine my diagnosis. I have been having tachycardia attacks for over 25 years and never has a cardiologist been so exact in his analysis. He knew what I had and why I experience my heart symptoms. He drew a picture and explained in detail how my heart was operating. We discussed my options. They ranged from ablation to beta blockers to nothing at all. We agreed on what was best for me in my situation. I now had the information I needed to make an informed decision which was to try a beta blocker when I have an episode. I know that if I choose in the future to have ablation, that I now have a cardiologist whom I trust to do the procedure and do it right! When you go to a specialist, you should not choose the person by his office staff, or how friendly he or she is, or whether they see you on time. You should select the most knowledgeable, most proficient, the one you are confident knows what he is doing and can perform the procedure correctly. If you choose Dr. Peress, you will be in the hands of someone you can trust.

While…read morein 2019, I had a horrible visit, as I previously wrote, back in 2022, maybe she was having a bad day. The most recent visit was good. She carefully listened to my wife and even had a brief positive, friendly conversation with me. Definitely not the same experience I had back in 2019. The medical system here in Tucson, appears to be overloaded. In retrospect, I would give Dr. Bastes another try. Since my 2019 visit she has changed offices, and her current office #215, has individuals that treat the patients in a nice manner. Her previous office down the hall, has a at least one terrible employee sitting at the receptionist area. When I visit her older office #225, there is one receptionist that I try to avoid, like the plague. As I already stated, the office staff at suite #215, is a breath of fresh air. I now try to avoid any doctor operating out of office #225. Just my opinion.

During an unexpected treadmill stress test late in the afternoon in July, 2018, after I'd already…read morehad a full aerobic workout at the gym earlier in the day, I asked to stop the test after four or so minutes. Dr. Bejerano's assistant insisted I needed a nuclear stress test. I thought I only needed another treadmill test on a day when I wasn't exhausted, but I deferred to Dr. Bejerano's medical judgment although I never got to talk to him personally. The assistant administered the test and delivered the verdict. The only stipulation I had was that I wanted to know my co-pay before I would agree to schedule the nuclear test rather than request another treadmill test. I am a retired English teacher on a very limited budget. For that reason, I have no medical procedure without first verifying that I can afford it. That information is the one thing I did not get. I was told in advance in a phone call from someone at the Orange Grove office that the co-pay was $100, an amount which I verified with the medical clerical staff at least two times--in that phone call and again when I was called and asked to change to an earlier appointment. I paid the $100 co-pay on the morning the test was given, verifying once again with the River Road staff that this was the correct amount of the co-pay. While the River Road staff was excellent and delighted me with the news that my heart was fine, I was appalled when I was mailed an additional bill for $90. Had I been correctly informed about the cost of the test--that I would incur a $190 co-pay--I would never have allowed it to be given and would have insisted on a treadmill test instead. Despite filing a grievance and an appeal, my insurance company could only get the $190 bill reduced to $170. The business office staff at Pima Heart did nothing to erase or reduce the bill caused by their error despite my many requests. I am left, frustrated and angry, in the unconscionable situation of having to pay for Pima Heart Association's mistakes. Because their secretaries misled me, I never had a chance to make an informed decision about my own medical care. It is infuriating to be stuck with a bill I never agreed to pay.
