I see the Google is removing my post now. Because they don’t want me to tell the truth. Find it abhorrent as either inept, ignorant, or flat out lying; that you send someone a; office appointment text the night before an appointment (please see attached picture below). Purposefully to have them show up an hour early before your operation opens? So you don’t know what time your own office location opens? Just saying… So these people get “one star”, for not knowing basic scheduling, and/or are directing people to show up an hour early by design, and assuming you do not know how to read a clock or calendar.

My stress echo test at the El Cajon location was a fantastic experience, thanks entirely to my technician, Karla Johnson. From start to finish, she was amazing! She was professional, kind, and incredibly informative. She patiently answered all of my questions, explaining each step of the process in a way that was easy to understand. What made it truly special was her enthusiasm when I mentioned my own interest in becoming an echo tech. She took extra time to share insights about the field, which was both encouraging and inspiring. Her passion for her work was evident and made my stress echo a surprisingly great experience. Thank you, Karla, for your exceptional care and for fueling my passion for this field!

Great office staff and an amazing MD I saw for the first time yesterday. Dr. Akilish Honasoge was kind, professional , smart, and present. He answered all of my questions. So glad to find my permanent Cardiologist! I would highly recommend him!

I love Karla, she really calmed me down for the test and made me feel safe. Super sweet lady! From start to finish she made me feel comfortable and I have so much anxiety about my heart. I really needed someone like her! Keep her around!

Ms. Karla Johnston needs a raise! I love that she made me feel comfortable and went through each step with me. I’ve had this test done before and it wasn’t the best experience.. Thank you, Karla for encouraging me to pull through!
