I have been a very appreciative patient of Heart & Vascular Care for several years. Dr. Kakkar, Dr. Eilen, and NP-C Abbey Cobb have each contributed significantly to my overall heart and vascular health. My last visit to H&V Care was a regular follow up with Dr. Eilen. Dr. Eilen’s caring, open, authentic, and friendly approach makes my visits with him very comfortable. He shows great interest in me and in discussing the state of my health. I always feel that I have his full and undivided attention and that he values what I have to say. I have every confidence in the excellent quality of care Dr. Eilen provides and in his proven and skillful ability to assess and manage my heart health. Choosing a cardiology practice is certainly not a decision to be taken lightly and my decision to go with H&V Care, Dr. Eilen, and their extremely skillful and capable staff has proven to be an excellent, life, enhancing decision.rater8 Verified Patient
