Atrium Health Sanger Heart & Vascular Institute

I was doing a echo stress test and while I was on the treadmill a nurse came into the room and said the echo is not covered by the insurance so they could not proceed with the test. Long story short they asked me at least 5 times my dob and name but apparently that was info for the dogs. They did not really care what I was saying and it was quite embarrassing. That nurse that stoped the proceeding was confused and did think I was someone else.... quite interesting how you are just a number that they try to milk..... cannot recommend at all as they just look to get at your wallet! You can tell them hundred times your name and dob they just don’t listen... or care..... further, more and more not your doctor is going to see you, he’s being replace by a PA..... and they’re going to tell you it’s because it’s the COVID .... more money for lower service....

As a heart patient, maybe next time I can have a stethoscope to allow doctor to listen via computer. Hands on is missing as expected but times dictate to do things differently.

Very friendly staff and I have a great doctor as well.

Love Atrium!
