Dr. Distler explains everything in detail, listens carefully to any questions, and addresses any concerns you may have. He’s always friendly, compassionate, and understanding as well as concerned about your health and all-around well-being.

I saw Dr. Distler for a follow-up after some tests. He listened and was very easy to talk to. He explained all my results and calmed my fears. I highly recommend SGMC Cardiology.

“I recently had sudden issues with retaining fluid. This had never happened to me before. My PCP Dr. A. Timothy Brady put me on a diuretic and a potassium supplement and sought to refer me to Cardiology. The first Cardiologist he attempted to send me to was booked out 3 months BUT another Cardiologist in the SGMC Cardiology Practice, Dr. Distler agreed to see me and my appointment was within days. He assessed my condition and got me in within 2 days (unheard of) for an ECHO Cardiogram. The Friday afternoon of my ECHO Dr. Distler personally called me on the phone to discuss the results. I have been diagnosed with Diastolic Heart Failure. He took a lot of time on the phone with me to explain the diagnosis, tell me what to do, and give me a follow-up appointment. I thank GOD and SGMC for caring and professional Physicians knowledgeable in what they are doing and for caring enough to take EXTRA TIME to go out of their way for me!”
