Dr. Egolum is the blueprint for how all physicians should provide care and communicate with patients. He listens to his patients and genuinely cares about the overall well-being of the patient. He makes his patients feel seen and heard. I'm truly grateful for the care he has provided because he is the reason I am still here today and able to complete this survey.

Absolutely no negative experiences. Everyone in the clinic had positive, calm and caring attitude. They all seemed happy to be there and treated me as though I was their only patient. The hospital should be grateful to have a group of people who make this the best environment it can be.

Georgia Heart Institute (GHI) is the best. They listen to their patients and they provide treatment plans catered for each patient to maximize the patient's quality of life. GHI knows that life happens and we can't all have a flawless heart but given the right time, right place, right care, right treatment, with the right doctors we can all have a healthier heart and longer life. Thank you GHI and Dr. Egolum for mending my heart and giving me and my family a better me today than I was in January 2023!!!
