Cenla Heart Specialists

"Highly recommend this office! I had an incredible experience from start to finish. The front office staff were extremely friendly and helpful, both in person and on the phone. I seen Dr Hawthorne and within seconds he had a solution for my problems and I couldn’t be more thankful for him. Although he helped me quickly, he stayed in the room and was very thorough and explained things to me perfectly as well as answered all of my questions and concerns. Future tests were needed and his office had them scheduled very quickly! It’s been so long since I’ve received this great of service anywhere!"

"Have you ever tried to get an appointment? Call back Monday. On Monday get told to call back Friday. On Friday told to call back Monday. It is faster to get a referral to anywhere else."

"Had my first appt with Dr. Meadaa yesterday. He took his time explaining EVERYTHING to me. I did not feel rushed. I had all my questions answered when I left. And he didn't use big medical terminology, he used layman terms where I could understand everything. So glad to have been referred to him."

"Dr. Meadaa has absolutely no bedside manner. He is very abrupt and harsh, making my family feel very uncomfortable. I wonder if this attitude is just with his patients of color, which has been suggested by others. Also, the wait time was almost two hours, and he did not acknowledge the wait time upon entering the room, no "sorry for the wait" or anything of the sort. DO BETTER or get out of medicine."

"The office staff is HORRIBLE, you will be on hold a very long time before they even come back to the phone. Next MD available appointment 14 mos out; as you’re talking with MD-he’s dictating while you’re trying to tell him your issues ( very impersonal), RUSHED visit. He’s seeing too many patients and not giving the patient quality of care. Prefers QUANTITY over QUALITY! You only have one heart, trust a specialist that has time for you and not to BUSY to get appointment scheduled. Can’t even get release of medical information to find another cardiologist!!! Can’t get ER follow up visit-JUST HORRIBLE!!!"
