Top-notch cardiologist; highly recommended! Bedside manner is what it is...like "Anonymous" said below: it's best to just say "Yes, sir" if you stay in Dr. Talbert's hands or keep it moving...

Dr. Talbert has shown to be a very remarkable miracle provider. Following a bout with Atrial Fibrillation that led to a Cardiac Ablation, Dr. Talbert fine tuned my heart functions so that today, my heart rate is in the high 60's each morning and increases to the low to mid 70's as the day progresses. Prior to the procedure, I was reflecting heart rates in the 150 range. With the loop record the Doctor installed in my chest, his office is watching my heart rate daily. All has been well.

What a lot of people call a "God-like attitude" is actually Dr. Talbert reprimanding a patient if need be. He tells you what you need to hear, not always what you want to hear with no apologies. Either say "Yes, sir" and trust his expertise or go elsewhere.
