“High Calcium level noted in previous labs. Labs taken several months before visit. Cardiologist informed me of concern for abnormal level at visit not at time of labs. Poor communication. No information on why level high or ways to reduce it. Short visit. Always in a hurry. First time I've seen him in over 2 years. You'd think he would take some time for his patients. Looking for another MD.”
