I have had Dr. Rosenthal for two years as my doctor. He uses his knowledge and expertise to diagnose my symptoms and offer a plan of treatment. He has me on [medication], to make sure I don't get blood clots,which may fend off a stroke. Dr. Rosenthal spends enough time with me, asking me things about my symptoms ( my behaviors around food and exercise) so that I'm proactive in fending off a heart attack. He listens to me talk when I've had an Afib incident since the last time I saw him. I just saw the doctor for my appointment and I feel secure knowing I'm going to see him in a year. The continuity of my appointments is reassuring.
