Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I was late to my appointment and the office staff was so friendly. Dr. Amulraj explained the CABG procedure very well and was very friendly.

Aortic Dissection
Amazing Dr.! When I arrived to the emergency room and met Dr. Amulraj he told me that I was going to have surgery. It was then that I started to panic and begged him to please save my life! He responded with, “God has already saved your life. He got you here in time. I’m just the plumber.” Instantly I was calm and relaxed, “Right on doc! Let’s do this!”

Great Surgeon
Dr. Amulraj is a gifted cardiac surgeon. His pre-surgical contact with me as well as postoperation care was professional,informative and caring. My surgery was conducted in Peoria Illinois I am a resident of Atlanta. I’m now seeing a cardiologist with Emory University Hospital who says my triple bypass was done as well as any he has seen. Thank you Dr Amulraj

Dr. Amulraj and his entire staff have been amazing during my recent CABG X2.m (6/15/21) From the beginning they have been very attentive and thorough with explaining the procedure and they have been very good with follow up questions and checking on me in the days and weeks after surgery. I can recommend Dr. Amulraj without reservation!

Dr. Amulraj replaced my aortic valve and did a three way bypass June 17, 2021. I could not have ever asked for or found a more skilled as well as caring doctor and would recommend him to anyone needing cardiac surgery of any kind. His office staff is incredible too. They kept in contact with me throughout my 3 months, which will end in two days and I will miss him and all of them, but I am so thankful for my second chance at life that Dr. Amulraj has helped me have and that he and his staff will be there for others who need them like I have needed them.

I would highly recommend Dr. Amulraj and his team. I went to the hospital emergency on Friday morning do to continued Angina. I sort of thought I might end up with a stent or two. However things were worse than I thought. Dr. Amulraj and his team decided I could not wait for Monday, so they operated on me first thing Saturday Morning. I ended up with a triple heart bypass. Everyone was kind, caring and informative. I felt safe. I cant believe what they can do. I walked out of the hospital 4 days and 4 hours after they rolled me into the operating room. Thanks!

Dr. Amulraj was the most amazing Dr during my husband 7 and half months in the hospital. He went far and beyond. He truly cared about my husband. The day that my husband died Dr. Amulraj came and say with me and he had tears in his eyes. He did not want to give up but we knew it was time for my beloved to go home to be with our holy father. He fought a long hard battle and All the Drs. We're right there every step of the way. I can never say enough about this man. He gave me 7 more months.

Dr Amulraj saved my life. Due to genetics and diabetes I have three blockages 95%, 90%, 70% I work in the ER and ended up being checked in by coworkers and after having a stress test, and a heart pump installed because of the severity of my blockages, I had a triple by pass done by Dr Amulraj. I am currently back to work in the ER and working on getting back to my previous health. Thank you Dr Amulraj!
