I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Wellford to anyone. He's an extremely well-qualified cardiologist and I always feel like I've visited with a friend after my appointment. He takes the time needed with me and never seems less than totally interested in my condition and how it can be better. I can't imagine a better experience!

The wait wasn't that bad. After I was brought back into the room I maybe waited ten minutes for the doctor. His nurse and staff were very friendly and made me feel comfortable.
Dr. Armistead was very nice and listened to what I had to say. I do plan on coming back for future visits if needed.
