My nephew was referred to Dr. Villafane for new onset chest pain and rapid heart rate by his primary doctor. First impression, a nurse was observed coating the exam room with lysol for ten to twenty seconds. My sister explained to the staff that my nephew has bad asthma and when he had trouble breathing upon entering the room, the staff insisted that they had to keep the area clean and that the "air should clear up". An EKG and echo was done and were both deemed normal. (Mind you this new onset happened two or three times last week and not since) No other tests were going to be ran at this time, which is what you would expect for a kid with a currently normal heart rate. During the echo, the technican instructed my nephew to keep one hand above his head and the other hand at his side and not to move them. He coughed without covering his mouth because he was doing what he was told by an authority figure and the technican rudely stated "I'm going to ask that you not do that without covering your mouth". Finally, my nephew was diagnosed with sinus arrhythmia, which I am confused how you can diagnose a heart rhythm if it is not present on an ekg. Sinus arrhythmia is a catch all term for not knowing the exact cause. There was a communication barrier with my sister and the physican. She did feel that the physican was frustrated with her because she could not understand everything he was saying. She did ask general questions about my nephew's sinus arrythmia regarding causes, symptoms, and precautions. Instead of an informative conversation, he gave her a pamplet and told her there was a website where she could look the information up. Overall, the experience was unacceptable by healthcare professional standards. They will not be returning to see him.
