My experience - congestive heart failure at Holy Cross and all alone.

I entered Holy Cross emergency room in June 2023 with congestive heart failure. I had no cardiologist doctor at that time and I was assigned Doctor Collado. ( I just began my relationship with MDVIP and Dr. Benson in January 2023.)

I was pleased with his service and I shortly thereafter had a heart valve replacement. To make a long story short, Dr. Collado said to me while I was in the hospital - that he spent 30 minutes on the phone with Doctor Benson. He said to me he was very impressed that a general doctor would have spent that much time with him on my case. They discussed all the possible problems I may have --such as COPD, heart valve, etc. along with congestive heart failure.

That was 6 months ago. I appreciated DR Benson's review and recommendations of the doctors who do the surgery, and her time she spent on my case.

I am fine now at at the age of 81. I feel Dr. Benson is a great doctor and she is on my side to help me thru the maze of things I will go thru to make my life a little easier - until the end of my life here on Earth.
