I wouldn't consider going anywhere other than Cardiovascular Institute of the South (CIS) for cardio vascular issues. The entire medical staff from the doctors to the nurses and all other aides are very professional yet extremely personable. I've seen a number of the doctors there for various reasons, mostly Dr. Abben and Dr. Sing. I couldn't ask for more. We have established not only a doctor / patient relationship but have become friends. As one New Orleans advertises "One call, that's all", The same can be said for CIS. Day or night, weekdays, weekends or holidays, it only takes one call and you know you'll be tended to. Louisiana (used to just Houma) is so lucky to the caliber of care provided by CIS.
