Legacy Heart Center

Wow! I’ve been going to Legacy for 15 years and I can’t believe the bad reviews that I am seeing. I think some people take all their frustrations for bad health out on their ratings. It would be difficult for me to imagine how they could have done a better job for me than has been done. I had my first known heart attack in 1990 and had surgery. Unfortunately under other doctors, I ended up with a medicine overdose because my blood levels weren’t being checked. Within 6 months after surgery, 2 of my three by passes had occluded. I went to Legacy to get additional input after these problems.
After switching to Legacy, I have been kept in good health with several stints and good drug therapy. I now have really good blood lipids, and I have managed to stay in as good or better heart health than what I had 20 years ago. Of course, I have a few more aches and pains as aging marches on. I recommend Legacy to all my relatives and anyone else that is seeking help and I thank God that I had the good forture to be guided to Legacy. I have so many family members that suffer with poor medical care that I can see the contrast and how fortunate I am, and how outstanding Legacy is. Legacy provides very highly qualified doctors and the staff is always very polite and work to be helpful. I can be reached at 214 548 8371 if anyone needs more details on how great my doctor and the others at Legacy Heart Center are.

My husband has had strokes in his eye. our opthamologist sent him for stress tests.echo.and most important carotid tests. Legacy was not concerned at all and put off the tests being done. Now… over 6 weeks later we are still waiting for the carotid results which was done 3 weeks ago. Calls have given us no results. Doctor Mckenzie seems to b a good dr but we are extremely disappointed in the staff. This is a VERY SERIOUS happening. If any poor outcome is caused by their delay you can bet they will hear from our lawyer. We will b looking for a new cardiologist. Sad I worked there at one time when they cared about patients.

Very clean. Fast, courteous check in. Kind and respectful doctors, nurses, and techs, who really know their stuff.
This is my go to place for heart health.

My Primary Cardiologist is Dr. Woolbert. He helped found this group I think. One thing of which I am absolutely sure is that he personally and his fellow doctors at Legacy have saved my life on occasion. These folks have gone out of their way to help me. Dr. Woolbert takes time to explain things to you. He answers questions fully.
I have 15 stents in me. The majority of these were placed by Legacy Doctors. They’ve done great work for me. My older brother had a bypass surgery within the last three years and swears by Legacy.
They have state of the art medical equipment and the expertise to administer it and read it.
I also got to participate is the clinical trial of a new stress test drug. I’m pretty sure I got the drug because that was the least painful stress test I’ve ever done. I even got paid for it. That was fantastic since I was not expecting it.
They are great!

I have been visiting these doctors since 2008 — basically, they saved my life — twice! All of their doctors are top docs and are very very good at what they do. I have referred others to them as well. I have not had an issue with a botched appointment or with an excessive wait and I am not a geriatric and could stand to lose weight as well.

Please stay away from this clinic. There are so many other great doctors around Plano which have great staffs and facilities to go to.

Somebody should consider taking down the mission statement — they didn’t come close to exceeding my expectations. After my annual physical they called in less than an hour after I returned to work to set up a 10:00 appt for the next day. 10:00 is the only time mentioned on the call, and it was mentioned more than once. I arrived at 10, checked in and sat down to fill out paperwork. In just a couple minutes I was called back and informed that my appt was actually at 9:30 and that I would have to reschedule. It was made clear to me that this mixup was my fault, even though I’m quite certain it wasn’t. I rebooked for the next day. That day things went smoothly up front, but when checking out the person left to check a bit of info with my heart doctor and didn’t wander back for nearly 20 minutes, without the answer she had left to get.
The actual visit with my heart doc was as enjoyable as these things can be, but my impression is that the office staff is harried, unmotivated, and not very organized. I wouldn’t choose to come here, but my MD clearly loves the place so I humor him. If you have options you might want to explore them.

If you are geriatric that is what they seem to cater to. if you have an ounce of fat on you they dismiss you as being a «slob» Rude staff!!!
