Dr. Kemeyou was rude and disrespectful toward me and my other specialists. She directly said that she was wasting her time with me. Dr. Kemeyou insulted me and my concerns. I was afraid to speak for fear that she would make me start crying. I just wanted out of her office.At the end, she sighed and said, "Well, I'd better examine you (listen to my heart) so at least you think I did something."I felt this way after my last visit with her in February but thought maybe she was having a bad day, so I was giving her a second chance. Nope. I am not going to see her again. I will be looking for a new cardiologist.

Dr Kemeyou really listens and is very personable. When you read her after visit notes you can tell that you have been quoted and heard correctly. She is able to explain her knowledge in layman's terms by using media or gestures to help you understand the treatment. Willing to truly talk it out with you. She lets you be apart of the process of quality of life care.
