Dr German had thoroughly reviewed my health history and had helpful ideas for managing my condition
Dr. German is very professional and knowledgable. He answered all of my quesitons and listened to my concerns and took them seriously. I did not feel rushed. The only improvement could be at the close of the appointment. It seemed rather abrupt when he just got up and left. Usually there are some niceties and some sort of goodbye. Otherwise, I feel confident in Dr. German as my cardiologist.
