    Dr. F is absolutely the best. He is caring and listensHe also takes my own level of understanding and the way I make decisions into consideration when discussing options for my care. I rarely get that level of respect from anyone else I come across in life. It's appreciated more than he knows.

    Dr. Nicholas Furiasse, my care provider during the {date removed}, appointment at Pulse Heart Institute, was outstanding. His expertise shone through as he thoroughly reviewed my PET scan (showing inflammation suggestive of sarcoidosis) and medical history, addressing my non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, congestive heart failure, and arrhythmias with an ICD. He proposed a tailored plan-starting Toprol XL 12.5 mg for rhythm control, referring me to electrophysiology for Afib/blood thinner evaluation, and coordinating a repeat PET with UW-explaining each step clearly. His compassionate approach, combined with precise attention to my vitals (BP 125/71, pulse 69, O2 95%), left me confident in his care and committed to improving my health.
