Say what you want, but I still have my husband thanks to the doctors and the hospital right here in TV. They have saved his life twice now. He would now be dead if he had tried to go to Leesburg, Gainesville, or anywhere else. He would have died long before getting there.

Personally, I like and will take my chances here. Sure seems to pay off for us. Some of the very best cardiologists are here. Probably some of the worst, too. The same can be said for all the primaries/specialists anywhere.

And, as someone else pointed out, nuclear stress tests are done on the treadmill. The nuclear medicine gives a much clearer picture (literally) of how the heart is functioning before and after stress.
