She runs the Cardiovascular Clinic, 530 Monte Vista, Suite B, Ada, OK  74820, (580) 310-0500.  She has worked with my husband Arnold Allen and we couldn't be more pleased with her and her staff.  She is also a Registered Pharmacist and is originally from Ireland.  No long waits in the office--very punctual.  She did her cardiology residency at Mayo Clinic.

 

Chris Meyer, M.D., Family Practice, 530 N. Monte Vista, Ada, OK  74820,
