    Dr. Zei was very personable and engaging. He seemed sincerely interested in my medical history and my current lifestyle and family situation. His perspective and caring attitude, combined with his experience and ability to explain what to expect in the procedures being considered were very comforting. I feel very lucky to have been connected with him and the practice. The staff were also very welcoming and engaging.

    Dr. Zei took time to explain options and I went away knowing a lot more than I did from the information I had received from the other cardiologist. The more one knows, the better one can make decisions.

    Dr. Zei listened to me with understanding of my concerns and fears. He was very attentive and calming. I would definitely recommend him, and the Brigham. There are a few doctors at the Brigham that fall into, my opinion, "The best of the best". I was having a medical issue many years ago and someone said "Go to the Brigham". When I asked who they would recommend, they responded that it did not matter. All the doctors there are that good. I am not sure of that but I did go to the Brigham and I am very glad that I did. My husband and I have had the best care for over twenty years.
