Patient Testimonial
I had a great experience!
“Easy check in with an iPad. The nurse was efficient and kind. The physician took time taking a history and ordered tests. Check out was easy and appointments were made for follow up tests and appointments to prevent gaps in care.”

Well, I’ve been a patient at VA Cardiovascular for 2 years. The staff, from the receptionist to the medical team, are amazing. I was treated with much respect and care. At each station, whether Echo or EKG or the other stations that I went to, each person was very knowledgeable and detailed in their job. Then, after all the tests, the doctor and nurse practitioner took the time to explain to me in detail all the things they saw concerning my heart, along with recommendations. Lastly, they listened to my story patiently and were concerned about how and what I felt. I never felt rushed. Thank you, VA Cardiovascular for doing such a wonderful job.

I am a long-time patient of Virginia Cardiovascular Specialist. I can honestly say that this great group of doctors, as well as the entire staff. They are very good at what they do. I would not be here today if it weren’t for my doctor. I recommend this group to anyone who has heart-related issues and or problems. They just don’t make them any better than VCS.

Everyone here was so very kind and efficient. Wait time was reasonable. All the tests I required were done in a timely manner. 2 in less than a week, and 2 more in about 10 days. Response time for getting the results was also excellent. I was sent the results on 3 of them the same day!
