I’m laying in the ER at Albany Med and I just had the pleasure of having this Doctor meet with me. I can’t tell you how down to earth, kind, understanding, patient, and knowledgeable he is. I’ve been almost fainting for 6 weeks every time I walk and I’ve been passed from OBGYN, to hematology, to my GP, to Cardio and blood tested 7 times I think. Capital Cardiology Associates finally said I have orthostatic Hypotension and said I should go to the ER. Dr. Woods was not cocky, he was inquisitive, and I truly felt he wanted to find the answer as much as I do. He also just had something calming and trustworthy about him. I feel so much better knowing there is a doctor like him on my side.

Dr Woods was comfortable listening to me, a new patient. He is quick to discern my concerns about my health and he grasped my commitment to my own well-being. I never felt "processed", but more like I found my team. Dr. Woods carries himself with ease and graceful self-respect, and his staff resonates with the ethos of competent caring. His assistant Gabby is a sterling example of this. She obviously absorbs professional support and direction from her doctors, and she enjoyed putting me at ease. This confident effective style with patients is noticable with all the staff I interacted with, and this clinical/office culture can only be mentored from the top down. Dr. Woods is an excellent practitioner with the skill-set to back it up, no doubt. I am deeply grateful to have found him and his team.

We just love Dr. Woods! He was so friendly and kind…. My Mom and I felt very comfortable asking him any questions that we had regarding her care! We did not feel rushed during the appointment and he truly listened to our concerns. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wonderful cardiologist… The clinical and the office staff were so kind and friendly as well… We waited less than 10 minutes in the waiting room, which is truly amazing! It truly was a great experience, which is hard to say these days when going to a doctor’s office! I would so highly recommend Dr. Woods and the staff at Capital Cardiology Associates at 7 South Woods Blvd. I am so fortunate to also be a patient myself and to have my Mom get such excellent care!
