I arrived very early because I have to take medical transportation. April kindly worked me in early for my appointment so that I did not have to wait as long as I had expected. She was very clear in explaining why I could be discharged from Afib care. She also brought up and re-explained a concern that I has expressed during my last appointment with Dr. Wells. I was pleased that she took the initiative in re-addressing that concern. I strongly recommend her care.
