There are seriously not enough superlatives for a review of the care I received from Dr. Magid. I was referred to him by Dr. Dean Smith, a hand doctor at Memorial Hermann. For a few years, whenever I went to a doctor and had my vitals checked, my blood pressure was consistently elevated. Since I'm 95 pounds, vegan and a long-distance runner, the nurses and doctors always chalked it up to "white coat syndrome." After Bob Harper (one of the trainers on The Biggest Loser) suffered a near-fatal heart attack in the gym, I decided I needed to stop blowing off something that was potentially life-threatening. As one of the other reviews noted, he has an unbelievable sense of humor and uses it to reduce the inherent stress and fear that comes with seeing a physician. He ordered a panel of blood work and had me wear a 24-hr blood pressure monitor which bore out what I already knew. Not a shocker. A week after he put me on a low dose BP Rx, my follow-up reading was normal. I am both relieved to have gotten over my fear to get this handled and grateful to have found a fantastic doctor in the process. If you need a PCP or internist, go see Dr. Magid - you won't regret it. I have never felt so well taken care of (ha ha - sorry to end the sentence and my review with a preposition!).
