The Scottsdale Heart Group

Yes… I’m in my thirties and I had to go to see a cardiologist. I know… it doesn’t sound good, and of course I was nervous. My doc recently confirmed an irregular heartbeat that he suggested I get checked out. He referred me to The Scottsdale Heart Group — specifically to Dr. Kevin Klassen.
I wasn’t looking forward to it — does anyone actually like going to the doctor?
However, I must say, I had the most pleasant experience you can imagine during this visit. First of all, the front desk staff was friendly and welcoming upon my arrival — Thanks Gabby for being so sweet (and great name too).
I had a 2:40 appointment and was told to arrive by 2:20 for paperwork. I did so and guess what? They actually called me back by 2:30! Thank you Jennifer S! A doctors office that runs on schedule? You’ve gotta love that!
From there, Dr. Klassen came in and had the best bedside manner and warm, funny personality that I’ve ever experienced with a doctor. He took his time getting to know me, my medical history, etc… before giving me a full exam and scheduling an echo cardiogram with Suzie who was also great and made me feel at ease as she looked and listened closely to my heart.
I’m happy to report that while I do indeed have an irregular heartbeat (which is likely related to being prego), Dr. Klassen is not too concerned and it’s supposedly not anything for me to stress out about too much. He did go into more detail than that with me, but for the lay person likely reading this (you), I think I provided TMI already, so that should do…
Bottom line: I do recommend The Scottsdale Heart Group and especially Dr. Klassen if you’re in the market for a cardiologist or know someone else that is.
