Dr. Colliver is the perfect, very helpful cardiologist, who accepts my irregularities and finds a perfect solution to my problems. I asked her to become my primary care physician as well, but she politely refused. Instead, she gave me a list of PCPs from the Johns Hopkins Medicine group, and I was very pleased.

Although it had been 2 years since I had seen her, she did remember several things that came up in that previous visit...as did I at age 90. She is attentive, able to use all the technical things on her screen and was able to get my internist's records too. She was well informed about my health and we had a very productive conversation. She suggested a stress test for me and I felt that was an appropriate outcome for this visit.
