Dr. Jeffery Paulsen was as lovely and attentive as my close friends said he would be as they highly recommended him to me. Dr. Paulsen was very attentive, kind, gracious, inquisitive, concerned and we had a wonderful meeting about my test results, prior serious history with serious concerns and future testing that may be helpful in further evaluation of me. I felt totally understood and so very much appreciated our first meeting and Dr. Jeffery Paulsen.

My experience with Dr. Paulsen was excellent. I finally feel that I have a cardiologist I can entrust my cardiac health and my life to. He was extremely informative, knowledgeable, covered every base, asked every question and really listened to my input - not something I have received in the past from the two cardiologists I previously visited. I am grateful to have found Dr. Paulsen..

Dr. Paulsen is amazing. This was a post-hospitalization visit with a heart surgery coming up and he was totally aware of it all. He showed me and my husband what my heart issues looked during the heart cath. We could not be happier with Dr. Paulsen.

We recently moved to the Summerville area. Dr. Paulsen and office was highly recommended.

Could not have been a better experience with this office and Dr. Paulsen. From the beginning, intake receptionist was Incredibly welcoming and friendly. The nurse was friendly. The Dr. Was thorough, knowledgeable, and truly gave me time needed to answer questions and explain. In a world where medicine feels like it's moving towards solely business and very rushed, Dr. Paulsen offered a wholistic perspective and genuine care for his patient. The whole office created a peaceful environment, for a place that can be scary and unknown at times! Couldn't recommend enough and have already recommended to friends!
