Austin Heart South

Always the best! The doctors have taken care of the lovely lady of the house more than once and have actually saved her life once. Can’t say enough kind things. The reception staff is fantastic!

Fantastic service and very friendly staff. Brivey at the front desk was awesome at getting me in when my schedule was tight and very nice. Dr Wang was great to talk to, friendly and very accompanying.

The latina receptionist put me on hold for over five minutes and then had the audacity to get an attitude with me. I was nice to her too. There isn’t any call for that kind of ignoramus behavior. It makes the whole practice look bad when they have smart aleck receptionists.

The Doctors and staff are helpful and informative. I had some questions on my insurance that were answered with the help of the billing staff. Dr. Risinger is professional and compassionate. Overall great experience.

I’ve always had thorough and caring care from Austin Heart, whether my doctor, Dr. Wetherold, or when she’s out, another member of the staff.
After unnusual symptoms, I began taking my blood pressure and found them abnormally high for me. I called Austin Heart and they had me fitted with a 24-​hour monitor and to get a test.
After returning the monitor, a new prescription was called the next day and I was given an appointment to see how it was working. It is excellent.
Everyone in the South Austin office is efficient, from receptionists to the doctors. And in my followup appointment, the 24-​hour monitor results were shown to me on a computer, and everything explained.
Whether there for an appointment or testing, I’ve never had a long wait, and everyone I’ve interacted with has been efficient and exceptional. The quick action every step of the way in this latest incident has been the way I find this staff operates.

Dr. Risinger (hope I spelled this right) is a caring cardiologist and is quite warm when you talk to him. He makes you feel comfortable and I am glad that i switched to him over the doctor I had in San Marcos (Dr. Norman Dean or maybe the other way around, I think?), which was with the same Austin Heart Practice. He remembers my case (even after a year) and is helping me decrease my meds now, till I eventually can be on the lowest dosage.
Austin Heart has a payment plan that makes anyone without insurance able to make their appointments and able to still get their meds. They are wonderful at helping you get «hold over» meds until your appointment since they understand how important the medication is to the individual.
The front end staff are wonderful and the nurses are friendly too. It’s over all a wonderful experience to have and I am glad they are about 10 min from my apartments.
So go see them if you need too and ask for Dr. Risinger!

Dr. Stanley Wang has an excellent bedside manner! He is personable, friendly and knowledgeable. He asks questions and listens. The staff is thorough and caring. I’ve never felt rushed during the appointment and have always been provided a complete explanation of tests, diagnosis. Not the typical specialist experience! They made what could have been a scary experience comfortable.

Dr. Norman Risinger is as thorough as one could ask for, and at the same time caring and friendly, immediately putting me at ease with a feeling that I am in good and highly professional hands. It is a plus that there is a close network of specialists in the practice so that every aspect of cardiology is covered. Heart rhythm issues has its own specialists; same with various procedures at Heart Hospital. All are coordinated through Dr. Risinger, my cardiologist. At Austin Heart, I feel like I am getting not only a great doctor, but also a great team, but without the loss of that personal touch. I almost feel as though Dr. Risinger and his colleagues are members of my family, and that they care about my well being as a person, not just as a patient.
I had heard that Austin is outstanding for its level of medical care. I believe Austin Heart is a stellar example of this well-​deserved reputation.

Dr. Stanley Wang is excellent in every way. He is Not judgmental, and he doesn’t rush you through like cattle. He explains everything to you and he genuinely cares. He has a way of making me feel at ease and taken care of; even when I have a heart condition. :) He is one-​of-​a-​kind, and I am so thankful to be able to have him for my doctor. He is supportive and compassionate, and so gifted. I cannot say enough good about him, he is the real thing. Honesty, Truth, and Hope should be what’s on his door. He is the «best.»

I had such an amazing experience at Austin Heart. The staff is friendly and accommodating, the atmosphere is relaxing and non-​intimidating, and I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Wang.
I’ve had a lot of doctors, but Dr. Wang is able to fully explain what’s going on, ask all the questions he needs, and still chat enough about «normal» things. I felt like I could relate to him really well, and that he was thorough and communicated clearly. Finding all of those things in one doctor is AMAZING.
I cannot recommend them enough.

Dr. M. Scott Blois and the CHF Clinic team are great! Dr. Blois and his nursing staff spend time with you and go over written reports.
Also, the nurses (Betty, RN, rocks) call you as needed to check in on your status!
Austin Heart is a very large practice with the best technology in town. I’ve seen cardiologists with ADC and Seton and they just do not have a system of care like Austin Heart and the Heart Hospital.
I went to the Heart Hospital ER and the on-​call MD called to let the ER and my regular MD know I was on my way!
I imagine personalized care at Austin Heart was what medicine was like before managed care and in the days of visiting doctors.
