The Echocardiogram was supposed ot take approx. 30 minutes, but took over an hour. First, two women took turns looking at my heart. Neither were the actual techs, just assistants practicing. (as if I had not already been there for hours on end!). The actual Tech then performed the test with both women, and when it was done I asked what we had been looking for, and what he had seen. His response was ""It's pumping"". I told him I understand that he is not the Doctor, but that after an hour of testing he had to at least be able to tell me if he saw anything abnormal or not, again he told me ""it was pumping"", and we would have the results in 8 days.\r

On Monday I called my cardiologist ( who I had only seen once in my life when he diagnosed the Mitral Valve), and they called Reagan Medical and for 4 days we both attempted to get a copy of the tapes from the test. I was informed that the tapes had already been sent off to be read, yet late Thursday afternoon I received a call telling me that the tapes were actually bad, and had never been sent off, and that I would need to go back in for a 2nd test. When I asked what exactly they were looking for, and asked why I was todl they had already been sent, I was transfered to Lea who was not only rude, but when I declined to come back in hung up on me.\r

Throughout that entire week the initial symptoms that took me into Reagan Medical worsened, so I went to see a ""real"" doctor, who immediately found that I had a sinus infection, glandular infection, and ear infection issues as well.....NOT MIGRAINE SYNDROME!! Further, when I related my experience to the nurses in the that office, they knew exactly what doctor I had seen, and responded ""everyone who sees him has Migraine Sydrome""! \r

Do not go this facility!
