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.

AMEN!! Couldn't agree with you more regarding T.V. health-care system vs. somewhere else.
Folks talk to other folks and gather opinions, many times, by someone else's experience. I think it's prudent to do your home-work (if it's possible) via the internet etc. to find out the credentials etc on any health-care provider. Certainly someone can graduate from the best school and have good credentials and still not bear up to being a good doctor! Sometimes it's perception on the patient's part as well. There are great doctors here and some who aren't...just like other areas of the country!
