She was interested in me. She listened asked the right questions and did not make my symptoms seem insignificant. I’ve actually been ignoring my issues after my neurologist said I probably didn’t even need a pacemaker. This team made me see the importance of taking care of cardiac health and the necessity of paying attention to my device. Thank you.
