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.

Love the doctor but his front staff are very rude

Could not detect and advise on leaking aorta valve
Spouse could not rise from a prone position to a sitting position -to be able to stand and walk - without holding onto the door facingand walls for support. We were told - 'could not see anything to recommend doing.'Come back in 90 days - so we can review your conditions again.Drove to an interventional cardiologist - who witnessed that spouse could not even get up off the examination table - without assistance.That interventionalist - laid his hand on my wife's back - and told her -'I know what is wrong with your heart - and I can fix you.What is keeping us from going forward.'I witnessed this person lay his hand and speak.We had asked for Ganesh's office to send the Stress Test results -That we drove to his office - asking to have - in Feb 2021.They still have not arrived. We stopped waiting for his assistance.March 2021 - Spouse had installed a new mechanical aorta valve.Hd we waited on Ganesh to identify a leaking heart valve & replacement ... more issues

On my first visit Dr Ganesh immediately found a problem with my heart rhythm. He had his nurse drive me to the hospital in my car and got me in ASAP. After stopping my heart 3 times and others medications, I was sent to Huntington for an ablation. My heart has been in rhythm correctly since that time. Dr Ganesh was great ! I’ve had to move. I regret that I cannot continue with him as my doctor.
