Doctor Bryan Waits is confident, non-judging, data driven and pragmatic.  He is truly a specialist.  
I had anecdotal evidence of a heart issue (very low pulse occasionally, chest pain occasionally, high BP) He quickly assessed the data gaps, and I proceeded, for the next month, to close them. BP, BPM, blood-ox, and other items were measured daily (multiple times) over the next 4 weeks.  A chest monitor for a week, and a heart catheter assessment too.
After all the data was in he delivered the prognosis, and diagnosis about a week later.  I have an issue requiring BP medication and blood thinner.  It was progressive, and undiagnosed could have become quite serious.
I can maintain my active lifestyle (cycling, running, hiking) confidently.
He probably saved my life.
I am grateful for his decisiveness, and having found him.
