The doctor is always very personable, yet professional. He covered all the important things. And allowed me time to speak and describe what we had been experiencing. In some cases, they may not have involved cardiology, specifically, but the doctor allowed me to speak and discuss all he then took vitals and followed up with what the next steps would be.

I am so grateful for Dr. Michael Mazar. He discovered that I actually may have had a seizure instead of a heart problem. He was professional, considerate, and helped me figure out what the problem may have been. This was important to me because I believe once we can identify the problem, then we can solve/treat for it.

My doctor was very concerned about getting me to take the medication to lower my cholesterol. I appreciate that. He acted quickly on my request for a different medication. He and office staff are very diligent with my needs to get my prescriptions approved by my insurance.
