      I've been with the EACH for 8 years now and on my third Cardiologist. The previous two left the clinic. I was sad to see them go as I really liked them. Several clinicians have left the same clinic unfortunately. With that being said, I was extremely pleased with Dr. Hardin. This was my first visit with him and I was impressed. He was thorough, patient and kind. All things you hope for in a physician.
