Dr. Dempsey was and is a great cardiologist that takes the time to listen to what the patient says. In my case if it wasn't for him, I may of had a heart attack.

11/26/2022

Good experience!

11/25/2022

My provider was patient, answered all my questions and me options.

11/25/2022

I like the provider, but I think the business model is skewed to the point that he was rushed.

11/19/2022

Very thorough.

10/30/2022

The doctor could relax and not rush through the appointment.

10/30/2022

My cardiologist and his nurse are simply the best!!!!!

09/28/2022

He was good but very brief.

09/17/2022

He literally seemed annoyed that I asked questions.

09/10/2022

I appreciate and respect my provider and know I'm getting the best care there is!

09/08/2022

very happy

08/29/2022

I would get special praise to Dr Dempseys nurse. She was amazing! Both her and the doctor and studied my chart before seeing us and that was not only appreciated, but very rare these days!

08/27/2022

This was my initial appointment with this particular doctor. He required an ultrasound before it would see me. He asked me a few questions. I had to ask him to actually touch my leg where there is hard flesh so that he would know what I was talking about. He didn't seem like he would have done it otherwise. I was in there about 3 minutes with him and all he did was refer me for more ultrasounds. Seems like he could have just been specific about what ultrasounds he wanted before I came anyway. Seems like a waste of insurance money

08/19/2022

Always feel relieved when I leave appointment as I feel well informed of my condition.

08/08/2022

*Dr. Dempsey just checks my pacemaker, a very brief visit. I am happy to have him check it.

08/04/2022

Dr. Dempsey’s nurse is a real pro.

07/20/2022

He was fully informed by his nurse and fully responsive to my needs.

07/13/2022

Dr Dempsey has taken good care of me since we met in the hospital when I had gone into anaphylactic shock after emergency services.

06/26/2022

Good visit, Doc was very professional and easy to talk to.

06/20/2022

Like *Dr. Dempsey & would recommend him to anyone.

06/16/2022

*Dr. Dempsey was very understanding and explain every thing.

06/14/2022

Dr Dempsey is fantastic. Glad to have found him.

06/11/2022

Dr. Dempsey is great. His nurse, Allison is the absolute best and deserves special recognition!

06/01/2022

He provided the information I need to be wdll.

05/27/2022

Every thing was very good.

05/25/2022

Allison Dr Dempsey's nurse is exceptional especially with elderly patients.

05/19/2022

Complete.

05/13/2022

I'm pleased to be working with Dr. Dempsey, a younger colleague of the now retired Dr. Card, with whom I had worked for many years through several cardiac issues.

05/10/2022

He needs to spend more time with his patients.

05/10/2022

I believe that Dr. Dempsey has excellent medical knowledge and I am happy with the treatment he has prescribed for my condition. My visits now are usually just routine check-ups, so perhaps he has more important things on his mind, but he typically spends less than a minute in the exam room with me, never asks if I have any questions, and after being my doctor for six years, he knows nothing about me as a person. If it weren't for the fact that I think the office is well-run and I love his nurse, I might look into changing doctors to find one who is a little more friendly and interactive.

04/21/2022

Always a great visit and any questions or situations are answered or rectified. Dr. and assistant are phenomenal.

04/15/2022

Sometimes I see a PA at my appts. so it was great that I actually saw *Dr. Dempsey. My appt. went well so I walked our like a ('happy patient')!

04/15/2022

I was disappointed by the amount of time the dr. spent with me. I'm quite sure it was less than 5 minutes. I hope it will be different on my follow-up. My appointment was 25 minutes late. There has been no follow-up on my first test results despite me calling twice. Very poor feedback. I will see how it goes but may change to a different doctor.

04/14/2022

Very good.

04/11/2022

Was satisfactory.

04/08/2022

Great

04/02/2022

Dr. Dempsey & his staff have always helped me with any concern I may have and I feel he has given me the care & understanding of a very good doctor. I even got to reduce my meds at this visit.

Followed thru with care.

I felt like I needed more of a recommendation on which treatment I should have chosen but the doctor gave me my options and said it's up to me. I wasn't sure when leaving his office on which path he'd recommend as my doctor. it gave me an uneasy feeling.

Dr. Dempsey is fabulous. Even though he's a cardiologist, he considers the big picture - the whole person. It's very reassuring
