Provider Review Comments

Dr Hilty took time to find out about my current health conditions and listened. He suggested we go ahead & schedule an ECHO, making sure we have no other issues with the mitral valve.

He was very dismissive, never asked me about my family history and what brought me here. I felt as if I was a number. He kept saying I need to go to a neurologist. I felt he wasn't listening to me. He had his mind made up and that was it. I will not be returning. I was referred to him from the cardiologist.

Dr. Hilty is very knowledgeable, caring, and thoughtful. He listens and always has good advice.

See my prior comment, but again I found Dr. Hilty extremely knowledgeable and very good at explaining detailed and technical information. He listened and addresses all my concerns and questions and we came up with a plan to treat my cholesterol levels that makes sense to me.

Dr. Hilty seemed a bit rushed this appointment. Not a big deal, but unlike previous visits. We all have off days and perhaps (this being a year after my stent) I had more questions/concerns than usual.
