Laura Belden, LPN, at Heart & Vascular Center in Boone is the absolute best! She’s professional, knowledgeable, understanding, and so nice. She immediately made me feel very comfortable! I can’t say enough about Dr. Atkinson! I’ve been a patient of his for over four years and he’s attentive, explains everything so well, and the communication is excellent! Tammy and Jeanne at the front office are great!

My grandmother has to wait over an hour to even be seen. This happens at every single appointment. If they can’t see the patient in a timely manner they need to figure out a new schedule. What they are doing now is not a good option. It’s hard enough on my grandmother to get out for appointments but worse on her when she is there for 2 hours or more.

Nurse practioner wont diagnose. She stated arrythmia is not present for a diagnosis where arrythmias are not a criteria… and are actually rare for patients with said diagnosis. Suggested i get more testing even though I fit the criteria with the testing that was done.

Dr Atkinson and his staff are excellent. I always feel cared for. I would highly recommend them to anyone searching for Cardiac Care.

Cardiology staff great! Reception staff very helpful and considerate. Quick to check me in. Leslie in the pacer clinic gave me very detailed information about my upcoming pacemaker change out. Dr. Hordes is an excellent physician. Answers any and all questions. If necessary, I plan on flying from Florida to APHS to have my pacemaker changed out. Like the staff here much better that my cardiology team in Florida
