My Hero, Dr. Danny Newman
I was having a difficult time with fatigue, breathing, and experiencing the feeling that I would just blank out at anytime. I had gone to my cardiologist and taken several test that were negative. I told Dr. Danny Newman about my experience at the Masters not being able to walk a few steps without having chest pains and breathing problems. He sent me for additional test and asked that the cardiologist give me a Cardiac catheterization. The cardiologist stated that he did not feel the procedure was necessary and related that to me. Dr. Danny insisted and the cardiologist stated he would do it to make Dr. Danny happy. As a result of the catheteriation, two stints were put in. I am so grateful that Dr. Danny was persistent. He saved my life. Dr. Danny is a very friendly and caring doctor. I saw Dr. Danny in the grocery store and thought, well he would never speak. I would have never gone up to him because I respect his privacy. Well, he came up to me and spoke. I was trying to hide the pork I had in the basket (had yogurt also} but he saw it. He had cautioned me about my diet. I am trying to do better. He did not make me feel bad but I knew It was wrong and now I am trying to do the right thing.
He is just a great doctor. I always feel that Dr. Danny Newman is accessible when I need him. He wants the best for his patients. He does not make me feel that because I am elderly, I should give up. He educates me on living my best life in a healthy manner. My doctor is my hero.
