”We absolutely love Restart the Heart! They are very prompt and were able to meet us at our home. Our instructor is very knowledgeable and was patient with us as we learned everything. I highly recommended them and will be using them again for our renewal."

"Wes is an awesome instructor! He is very knowledgable, professional and he knows his stuff!!! If you want a fun, engaging CPR class with a true professional that takes the time to make sure you are spot-on, then he’s the guy you need to go to. Wes has the experience as an instructor and as a paramedic that lets you know you are getting top-notch skills. Ditch the boring, monotonous instructors and go for the one with personality."
