Cardiovascular Consultants LTD 19646 North 27th Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85027

"No real issues with the dr except his timekeeping, but the office is a nightmare. I have been a patient at this office for over 15 years, so not a new patient. They are billing my insurance with another patients name, so of course my insurance is denying the claim. I only go in once a year, and this has happened two years in a row now. Trying to find someone to speak to, to get the data corrected so that a correct claim can be filed has been a nightmare. 5 messages on the portal, 4 phone calls, a certified return receipt requested letter to the President and Chief Operating officer, facebook messages and a linked in message to the COO have all been ignored. I asked for an itemized statement to bill the insurance myself and was told that was not possible. I sited their paperwork that identifies I am responsible for the bill, how can I be responsible if they will not bill it correctly, and will not provide me with information to bill it myself. Lord forbid that I get hospitalized and this dr is called in because they will continue to get claims denied and this other person they are listing as the patient now has a permanent record of my diagnoses and health concerns on HIS record. Yes, they are billing for a male patient, I am female. Looks like filing a HIPPA claim is my last avenue for recourse."

"I was referred to Cardiovascular Consultants LTD for pain and problems with my lower legs. I had swelling, open sores, and even bleeding. At the first appointment l told them about all the pain I have suffered. They had a nurse look at the problem and her remarked was "that is really red" . I was told to get support socks. I had problems finding the socks. I called and told them I was still in pain and was told to come in. I made an appointment and when I arrived I was told the appointment had been cancelled. I asked to speak to someone and was told there was no one there that I had to make another appointment. I needed to speak to someone about the difficulty I had just getting there. I was suffering from not breathing well and had difficulty speaking. I was treated indignantly so I left. As I sat at the bus stop my breathing worsened. I was lucky the hospital was across the street. I went to the emergency room. I was suffering from congestive hart failure. That was causing my breathing and speech problems when I was in the lobby of Cardiovascular Consulting. I'm being treated for congestive heart failure now, but not by Cardiovascular Consultants. That was a month ago and as I'm typing this I'm still in great pain."

"CVC staff are wonderful. There can be a wait at times, but I attribute that to the physicians taking their time with each and every patient to answer questions; helping them to understand the process of what is happening in the moment as well as what will be happening in the future."

"I’m surprised to see low reviews here. The administration staff has always been super helpful and accommodating. My mother has dementia and has needed assistance getting to and from her appointment. They’ve always worked with me to make sure she is scheduled in a timely manner. Our technician Katelyn was patient, friendly and professional. She went above and beyond to make sure my mom was comfortable. The doctors and NPs are helpful and knowledgeable. Would recommend this location."

"Worst experience of my life to date! My mom had congestive heart failure and had been a patient at this practice for almost 10 years. She had an episode of dangerously low blood pressure this summer and was admitted to the hospital. They discharged her with instructions to make an appointment with her heart doctor ASAP. CVC ignored her for several days, wouldn't reach out or give instructions over the phone, and wouldn't give her an appointment for almost a week! The day she died, she was calling them asking for help saying she really needed an earlier appointment. The receptionist told her, "There are no appointments until tomorrow. Stop calling our office." Now my last memory of her is my mom calling me crying and terrified because she didn't know what to do. Imagine my disdain for this company when three months after her death, I'm still receiving letters from them asking her to schedule a follow up appointment! If you have other options, I suggest you stay as far away from this doctor as possible!"
