BE PREPARED TO WAIT FOR AN APPOINTMENT 60 to 119 days…read more I called to assist a friend make the initial appointment to see a doctor and surprised the wait will be soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long (an o for each day).

I worked with Inland Cardiologist in the cath lab at Kadlec, I always found the physicians very…read morecompetent and caring. My husband's cardiologist retired and he was referred to Inland, when he called for an appointment he was going to have to wait till November. I called the office explained his health history, I spoke with a competent MA the appointment was moved to early June. I think some of the complaints people listed are not Inland Cardiology but the way Providence Health Care Systems operate. The patients of Kadlec were accustomed to a more personal care, that is gone. The community hospital has become a medical center devoted to only one thing the bottom line, health care is big business.

Wish I could give ZERO stars! I had heart attack & stents at a relatively early age. I was blessed…read morewith a great cardiologist. He saw me twice a year, did labs, EKG & Stress test once a year; change meds as indicated. I suffered a mild stroke, blessed it wasn't debilitating! Then the unthinkable happened. To my everlasting sorrow my Cardiologist retired. Finding a new Dr was not easy. I've been mired in the Kadlec System and it's scary. I've have no preventative care at all! Visit once a year! No med evaluation or changes. Given my history with surgery not to mention stroke...given my age (over 80) one might think this would be the time to be vigilant and try to head off problems- not "go with the flow" until SOMETHING happens. There is a God! I have a new, capable, caring, Dr. NOT part of the Kadlec Machine! Anything can happen, but peace of mind is priceless. Don't get that lost in a huge maze.

My entire family has been long time patients of Br. Benedict…read more Two stars because he's an amazing provider, however the front desk staff, billing, and scheduling has ALWAYS been terrible. Now with the Kadlec takeover, if you can believe it, they're EVEN WORSE. Forcing patients to schedule annual exams 1-2 years in advance is ridiculous. Putting someone on hold for 30 minutes with an automated message telling them they are last in a que of 50 people is absurd. Can't help but feel it's pure BS intended to force people to an automated form of communication, the opposite approach of the type of care that was received when the practice was independent.

Dr. Benedict is an excellent physician, it is often hard to get through the staff!…read moreyou must have patience to get through to him! but it is worth the wait! His nurse is very good also.
