This was my first visit with Dr. Colliver as I recently moved to the DMV from Chicago,IL where I was a patient at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. In spite of the fact that I had requested records from NWM 2 months prior to my appointment, I brought my records to the appointment believing that she did not receive them. Dr. Colliver very aptly read my records and dispensed excellent medical advice. I believe that we will make an excellent team in my cardiac care.
