Dr. Hicklin is very thorough with his instructions. He helped me understand the treatments he prescribed for me. I recommend this practice for anyone.

I had previously had a bad experience at another practice and needed to start a new relationship with a new cardiologist. I was worried it would be similar to my last experience and I’m thrilled to say how wrong I was. Every single person in this practice, from the front desk to the nurse to the doctor to the checkout was exceptional. I felt cared for and listened to and my questions were answered without me ever having felt rushed. I am so happy that I took the step to change practices and give Lexington a chance. I am very confident in the care I am receiving at this practice
