Northern Heart & Vascular

I was referred for high blood pressure I seen Dr. Rill he's ok but a little blunt and had no idea of my history as to why I was there. His first words to me were why are you here? Of course I proceeded to tell him why I'd been referred, he then began to talk about weight gain and daily changes which I certainly can appreciate but I really need more than just a lecture. I'm overweight yes but not grossly obese!! I really need to get my blood pressure under control he did do some medication changes and will do another test next week and see me again in a few weeks for a follow up visit. I'm really a first impression person and I'm trying hard not to let his short behavior interfere with the help I hope he will give me. People in general weather Dr. or not need to realize if they have never had a weight problem there are better approaches to take, I've battled it all my life I know its a problem I see it everyday and we all know it needs said but differently would help and PLEASE if your a Dr. don't start off with that as if its the main issue for your visit.....We all know weight is a negative contribution.

He was just a good doctor. I often talk to his assistant a lot so I didn't have a lot of contact with Dr. Coronado.

Dr. Okonski heard a "murmur" three years ago in my heart. She ordered an ultrasound, and monitored my heart for the next two years. When the faulty aortic valve finally got to the point where it was causing me symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, etc., she referred me to a surgeon, and only a couple weeks later I had a very successful valve replacement surgery. I feel like a new man. As soon as the surgeon released me, I went right back to Dr. Okonski to monitor my heart health. She just did a new baseline ultrasound and found my heart is doing wonderful. Thank God for her.

I am satisfied with his services. I would use him again.
