Bruce Bergleson is the best. In 2023 I had a stress test because I could not walk a half mile with stopping to sit twice. I did great on the stress test but Bruce said that I am an athlete and that he did not trust the stress test. He sent me for an angiogram that turned into a 3 stent angioplasty. It included on for the Widow Maker.
