About Peter C. D. Pelikan

Providence Patient
I saw Dr. Pelikan to review the results of a recent heart scan. Dr. Pelikan was very thorough and asked a multitude of questions including, family history of heart problems, my history, medications, and any current health issues I was experiencing. Dr. Pelikan had performed a life saving cardiac catheterization of my father in 2002. He spent time looking through this report. Based on family history of heart issues, my heart scan and current issues he set me up for a series of ECHO exams. Also as I had informed him of a chronic congestive cough I have experienced for 6+ months he contacted my GP requesting this be investigated further. My GP immediately set me up with an appointment with him to further investigate. I could not have been more pleased with my visit.
