    Irene Cheong is very knowledgeable about cardiac issues. She addressed all my questions and concerns thoroughly. She was also kind and showed that she cared about me recovering from my recent heart issues and arterial stent procedure. Scheduled a test to make sure I can recover fully. Gratitude.
