Only 5 stars because 11 is not available! So knowledgeable, non-condescending,and willing to listen and discuss. Dr Khor is so articulate and such a focused activelistener that she makes you feel like you're the most important person on the planet.During your appointment you are aware instantly that you are with a deep, critical thinker;that is so knowledgeable about all things cardiology and is relentless in how toimprove your health and quality of life. Throughout my appointment with her I felt shecared deeply about my concerns as a patient, my interests,and always has an open mind to learn more from our conversation. Under her care I haveI lost over 115 lbs and kept it off for over a year and my heart stats improved behind belief. If you need a cardiologist, she is the real deal!

This appointment with this provider was horrible.There was absolutely no empathy showed by this provider, it was actually the exact opposite. She was very rude and at one point she raised her voice to me when I asked for clarification of a specific treatment option. She then asked if I thought I was the only one that's suffered in this world. I was completely taken off guard by her unprofessionalism and her lack of compassion in such a hard situation. She acts one way if I have someone else there with me during my appointment as part of my support system. During that appointment She is nice and professional, but when I am by myself she acts a completely different way. I would never recommend this provider to anyone!
