We are also the home of Oregon Heartbeat Clinic (for patients suffering from irregular heartbeat problems) and Oregon Vein Clinic (for patients suffering from painful and unsightly varicose veins). We have a full range of diagnostic imaging services relating to the heart and vascular systems, including nuclear medicine, echocardiography and vascular imaging. All three of these services are accredited by their respective national accreditation organization which ensures you will receive the most safe and effective care available.

Test was done well, but doctor's social skills were unacceptable.

I had been referred to Dr. Richard Wilson, who apparently had retired just before I arrived, so I saw Dr. James E. Wassenmiller.  I was not informed of the change and was confused about who my provider was for quite awhile.  The office is reasonably well run but one can encounter chinese fire drill lapses.
Dr. Wassenmiller diagnosed intercostal neuralgia but had me take a stress test and echocardiogram, which showed good arterial flow and explained my heart murmur.  No further action necessary.
Dr. Wassenmiller explains things well and I have complete confidence in him.  He is brusque, and if you are not exercising or are otherwise abusing your body, he will get in your face.
Staff quality is uneven.  About a 20%+ chance you will encounter incivility.  The ultrasound technician is particularly insolent to older men.  I would return to this clinic only for a serious procedure, because the doctors have a reputation for competence.  For ordinary care I would consider the incivility unacceptable.
There appear to be three cardiology clinics now in Salem and the Angieslist reviews are a mass of confusion about this.  Do your homework carefully, with the yellow pages next to your computer.

The care is competent and thorough, but the two doctors I have seen, Thompson and Stiles, have had poor bedside manner.

A routine pre-op physical and stress test revealed a blocked coronary artery that needed stenting.  Dr. Ghalili was very thorough in terms of discussing the risks and necessity of the procedure. His staff was incredibly pleasant and helpful and instructions for the procedure were clear and specific.  It required an overnight hospital stay and Dr. Ghalili visited twice to check on the progress and answer questions.  He was very compassionate and kind.  Would HIGHLY recommend him!  Although I hope his services are no longer required I would go back to see him in a heartbeat (pun intended!!)

I had some chest tightness and after some preliminary tests by my family doctor, he referred me to Dr. Ghalili to perform the above actions. As I said before, Dr. Ghalili explained everything that would happen beforehand. I couldn't believe how quickly they were able to schedule me. I went in one day for the echocardiogram and they scheduled me the next morning for the angiogram, even tho nothing showed up on the echo. They were thorough and explained everything in layman's terms. I loved that.

I do not wish to tell my story from start to finish except to say that I am fairly young, healthy and experienced sudden (completely unexpected) severe cardiac issues. Dr. Ghalili saved my life.

I like his bedside manner and the time he spent with my wife to explain what kind of blockage she had. He explained why they couldn't use a stint and he was very detailed in explaining what they found and the treatment he recommended. He was very professional. My wife really likes him the most of all of her cardiologists.

He's very professional and very knowledgeable in his field. He will most likely be replacing the pace maker in a few years for my wife.

Dr. Wassenmiller was the primary factor in my receiving timely and effective treatment when I suffered congestive heart failure. I collapsed in his office and he immediately directed emergency intervention and had me hospitalized within minutes. I had extensive open heart surgery in January, 2007, by an excellent cardiac surgeon (Dr. Thomas Winkler) and have received consistent and thorough aftercare from Dr. Wassenmiller. He sees me at least annually for overall cardiac care and the remainder of this report deals with the routine cardiac care..,not the surgical intervention.
