1st day wearing this cool techy heart monitor. Oh, yeah, too much paperwork to fill out. Thought I streamlined the process online. I was wrong. The nice receptionist handed me several more pages along with the reply “it’s office policy.” Good Lord, find a better way to get info. Geez!

Dr Cuellar truly cares about his patients and does everything he can to make you comfortable and feel taken care of. He's very patient I've been a bit of a difficult case and you can truly tell he's invested in getting me back to running and just a better way of living. My pacemaker had a slight malfunction (nothing that he did) last year and he was so kind and actually listened making the experience less traumatic. His staff is the sweetest and also do their best to make it a great experience from the moment you walk in the door.

Dr Cuellar Silva was brought in on a consult for my mother who was hospitalized at CL Regional. Mom had a history of a particular Arrhythmia and tests revealed new and additional cardiac maladies present. Dr Cuellar Silva quickly got up to speed with my mother's history and what she was presenting upon examination. He and the attending cardiologist concurred that she was a good candidate for a pacemaker and they had her in surgery the next day. Since that procedure, Mom has seen Dr Cuellar Silva and the pacemaker is working very well to plan and her implant wound has fully healed w/out complications. Dr Cuellar Silva has an extremely outstanding beside manner and addressed all of our concerns and listened attentively to her history leading up to her hospitalization. I had a poignant question for him and The Doctor in complete candor answered it to my complete satisfaction. Many Doctors would have just given lip service to it, NOT this Doctor! Should anyone need the utmost in professional, compassionate electro physical care/intervention. You cannot go wrong with Dr Jose Cuellar Silva. Thank you to all at his practice as well.
