First time appointment with a cardiologist--what to expect?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: No different than meeting other physicians for a first appointment although the focus will be a cardiac issues with specific questions related to the reason you were referred in many instances. Often times test results are reviewed & discussed. Hoping it will be a great and informative experience for you or yours.
