Default HELP PLEASE! Good heart Doctor who goes easy on the drugs?

I am looking for a good heart doctor who isn't into prescribing every drug under the sun. Is there such a doctor? My Aunt's is worse from all the drugs ... what's the point of that???

Your help is appreciated.... thank you!

Sorry to hear about your aunt. Where is she going now for her treatment? Is her doctor associated with a hospital? If so, which one? And what's her prognosis? And is her health good otherwise? Does she have any other medical issues? Does she need to lose any weight?

Just looking for a doctor that is more wholistic minded but I guess one doesn't exist ...

If your aunt's heart condition is serious, I don't think that she should go messing around with alternative medical treatments.

Interesting especially because my Aunt has atrial fibrillation and I have been diagnosed with MVP (mitral valve prolapse) although my holistic Nurse Practitioner doesn't believe it I have MVP. I recognize Pam from RateMDs.com | Doctor ratings and reviews.

I see a new doctor for my Aunt September 15th and I hope he will get her diabetes under control and take her off the Warfrin. I see the article mentions Warfrin is also used as rat poison. NICE!!! My gut tells me that all her problems stem from her diabetes going haywire.
