Dr. Kevin Pistawka - KELOWNA CARDIOLOGY ASSOCIATES

After a very difficult experience with the cardiologist who did the angiogram on me, saw this man come into my room with such a kind, caring demeanor, that I thought he was an angel. Because I had had a major panic attack the night before, and I had asked the (extremely unprofessional and unhelpful) nurse on nightshift if she thought I could stay one more night as I was anxious and terrified. (her answer was, NOPE! They rarely allow patients to stay here more than one night. There are other people needing the bed. You are no more important than the next patient.) thanks. She must have expressed her disgust to Dr. Pistawaka because he knew I had asked. When he came in for my follow-up he said, I'm thinking you should stay with us one more night, what do you think? Big smile on his face. I was so grateful and relieved. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Pistawaka is the very best...I was flown into Kelowna for care and as I arrived he was waiting for me, had read up on my medical history, had a program all planned--I had several procedures done in sharp fashion as he personally went to each department to schedule a rushed appt. Dr Pistawaka is intense--one has to pay attention during his consultations. I regard him so highly and feel so blessed he is my cardiologist.

Came away feeling very satisfied and glad to have found such a knowledgeable and personable doctor. Even if I have to drive four hours to visit that great clinic and Dr. Pistawaka, it will be worth it!

Very knowledgeable. Very patient. Explains everything. Open demeanour. Does not get frustrated. Since he is very busy it’s always best to be prepared with questions preferably written so one could use the Drs time wisely. Highly recommend him. - RD
