"We literally waited over 2 hours till someone came out and said our wait was 2.5 hours still when we all gasp for air he says no I meant to say your total wait is 2.5 hours yet we would still wait for 45 min we got up and left. We were just very hurt that there is no respect for our time. Regardless of the why someone should had said somewhere we had already waited for 30 minutes. We are now looking for a new cardiologist"

"Do all of your paperwork early, show up an hour before your scheduled appointment that is first in the morning, and you’ll probably only have to wait 2-3 hours. Otherwise I guess you need to pack a tent."

"Was seen last week as a new patient. It's a little confusing the 1st time bc of where you check in then where you're directed to go and such for each thing... The woman that got my history and vitals was nice. Dr Cheruku then came in, I explained what was happening and he told me to cut out all coffee and drink a gallon of water a day. With no other questions by me he was out the door.. He didn't even listen to my heart which seems odd to me. He was nice though and seemed to care. I've done my best to do as he said and will follow up with him in a month. Currently just finished with a cardiac ultrasound with Jackie. She seemed pleasant enough, not very "warm" feeling though. Just got my cardiac patch to monitor my heart activity by Annette. After a little hiccup it's in place and activated. She is pretty awesome, kind and talkative, my kind of person. So far it's been a good experience here. We shall see about in the future."

"I am reporting this on behalf of a patient that wishes to remain anonymous. But the treatment that she received here by Dr. Kalife Kuri MD was absolutely abhorrent. She went in to be seen for a number of cardiovascular problems, and needing a pacemaker due to these issues. When she told Dr. Kuri this he told her, and I quote, "you're too young and pretty to be cut open". This man should have his license revoked and lose his ability to practice anywhere! I will be reporting this to San Antonia state medical board as well and I hope that a proper investigation will take place, as I doubt this is the first patient he's ever done this too. To put his own opinions about her age and looks over her medical needs is disgusting and highlights that women are never able to get the proper medical care we need due to sexist and old fashioned ideals by these so called "doctors". This man should be ashamed of himself. To deny a woman proper health care because she's "too pretty" too get an operation she needed goes against everything someone in the medical field is supposed to represent. I am incredibly angry on this woman's behalf and I sincerely hope that any woman that sees this reconsiders going to see him for any care they might need. He's going to end up getting women killed!!! You're a despicable human being sir and you do not deserve the title of Dr."
