Almost IMPOSSIBLE to reach by phone! An appointment for earlier this week was re-scheduled because the provider had an "emergency". The re-scheduled appointment was then cancelled at the last minute because of another "emergency". After literally a half-hour on hold, I was offered another appointment more than 2 weeks later...20 days AFTER the initial appointment. This is no way to run a professional operation! They already use PAs and NPs to see patients - where are the doctors? I hope for a law that would prohibit medical facilities from using AI telephone answering systems. That is one place where a LIVE PERSON is crucial to effective communication. read more

Loved the office, staff and doctor Cooper was wonderful. PROBLEM is the way they are credentialed. you have to pay a copay called a facility fee on top of your copay. So for a visit with my previous cardiologist I just payed my copay and had Office Visit and EKG. With this group I had to pay almost 300.00 for my visit which is utterly ridiculous. Even though everything else was great I am going to drive to Birmingham instead of returning for another visit. So SAD!! I am giving a One for the rating because I was not informed at the time of scheduling nor when I came for my appointment. It was shocking to get this kind of bill. I feel sorry for the elderly who get bills like this. read more

Going to a visit such as this one can sometimes be uncomfortable and scary. But the staff here makes the journey easier... From Dr Sharma to his entire staff, the smiles, warm greetings, and the assurance that things are going to be good makes you at ease... read more

At Montgomery office, facility fee is now added in addition to copay charge for visit. Had to pay $245 for follow up visit to see nurse practitioner after having echocardiogram. read more

Great doctors. Great nurses. Friendly staff. Horrible billing process. But now have joined with Baptist health and each office visit carries a $125+ facility charge for being associated with the hospital across the street you have to pay out of pocket... but didn't specify that in anyway most people would have known until they were billed. Basically you pay twice for just even a follow up.. .once through insurance and once out of pocket.. unless you are willing to travel 30+ minutes more away to another facility outside of Montgomery. It is cheaper to go to the ER with a copay... Welcome to the new status quo I guess... read more

They will do simple diagnostic tests in office but bill it as if they were done at the hospital. They claim they are now part of the hospital and not a doctor's office so they can get away with charging and billing more, even though their website says they are separate business from the hospital. This screams fraud to me. I would avoid them AT ALL COSTS. read more

If you have to come here, it's a nice place and help you with whatever situation you have going on

If you value your life, do not go to this practice. I had a diagnostic cardiac catherization, under Dr Moore's care. The plan was to stent a 70% blockage in my left anterior descending (LAD) artery. I also have a myocardial bridge in that artery. My heart began having dangerous spasms during the procedure, so he stopped the procedure. There are risk associated with coronary angiography. I had a complication called a retroperitoneal hemorrhage. His office handled this by having me come in for a useless ultrasound after I had been eating and drinking throughout the day. No one in that office, other than two ultrasonographers laid eyes on me, not a PA, nurse practitioner or physician. The ultrasound tech couldn't see anything because I had not been NPO, so she said "your ultrasound is normal, you can go to the ER if you keep hurting." So, I went to the ER...they did not call ahead for me or facilitate the care in any manner. I laid in the ER, in the hallway, for more 8 hours, without any monitoring, bleeding into my peritoneal cavity. This was after bleeding all night, the night before, while at home. His attitude and lack of caring about my wellbeing was disgusting. To make matters worse, he came in the next day saying I should be discharged to the floor. I had an episode two days later that required two units of blood and treatment for hypotension. Their handling of my situation could have very well cost me my life. Go elsewhere! read more

As a seasoned heart patient of 23 years living in many regions in the SE US, this practice has the worst patient experience. I had a recent heart cath. and the MD NEVER spoke to me or my family after the procedure to explain the results! You will NEVER see a cardiologist in the office except for the first visit. There is NO personal care, you are just an account with them. If you go into the hospital on a Friday or weekend, expect NOTHING from the cardiologist on call unless you are critical until Monday. They have the largest, most impressive practice in our area but being the largest, by no means, makes you the best. If you want personal care from a caring cardiology practice, don't come here. read more
