    First of all my visit was in person, not virtual. I know that Dr Krishna's is an excellent cardiologist, however she was super rushed. Flew through my chart didn't really listen to me, talked over me. Rattled off what she was going to order , did not take the time to ask me what I thought and then she was fine and out the door. Feel pretty certain my 15 minute office visit was actually 7-8 minutes. I left feeling flustered and not really heard.
