Carilion Clinic Cardiology - Hillsville

I left my recent cardiology follow-up feeling dismissed and misrepresented. Key details of my medical history — including documented genetic findings, early-onset hypertension, structural valve issues, and a family history of sudden cardiac death — were either omitted or contradicted in the visit note without review of my records. My concerns about appropriate genetic testing were minimized, and my plan for a second opinion with a cardiogenetics specialist was not accurately reflected. The note stated I “left without completing the visit,” without context for why I felt unable to continue. What makes this more frustrating is that I had my prior echocardiogram reports with me — stored on my phone and publicly accessible on my personal website — yet they were not reviewed during the visit.
