The doctor took a lot of time to explain our sons conditions and options. She calmed our concerns with BP and HCM and refocused our attention on next steps with WPW. The staff was nice and took us in early. The place seemed organized. It was a more personal and patient experience rather than routine and bland.

From the staff greeting us at check in too the secretary's on the second floor and the EKG tech to the cardiologist they all were amazing ! The cardiologist answered every question we had and helped us feel very calm in a very out of our hands situation a blessing forsure my only complaint is I don't like that we had to wait a week to be seen

Dr. Bivens was lovely. She was patient with me while I explained my worries about a certain condition running in our family and then put my fears to rest while explaining factual information about the condition without making me feel stupid for asking questions. She did everything she could to be thorough and make sure we left feeling heard and with all our questions answered.


Aug 28, 2024

Great experience all the way around, everyone was very polite and informative.


Jul 26, 2024

Super sweet, caring, made me feel heard. Great overall.


Jul 18, 2024

Very nice and listened to me and child with patience and kindness. Also talked to my child not AT my child or like he wasn't in the room. which I think is very important to for us since he is (age) and I want him to be involved in making his health choices.


Jul 15, 2024

The whole office was extremely helpful in getting our appointment made in a fast manner and was very courteous and respectful! Had a great experience!Thanks to all staff


Jul 5, 2024

Kind, patient, attentive. Provided plenty of time for our visit. Made sure we understood treatment plan and what to do if there were future medical isues. Could not have been happier with Dr. Bivens.


Jul 1, 2024
