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.

Dr. Trepathy performed surgery on me, he made me feel at ease prior to the surgery, he went into detail on the procedure. He took into consideration that I am a female, so although he had to get into the center of my pulmonary/ trachea respiratory area, the scar was as far away possible from my right breast& under my arm, and the cleanest thin scar I could have imagined. I highly recommend him.

I was recommended to see Dr Tripathy for a suspicious lung nodule.Dr Tripathy ordered a biopsy. The biopsy discovered my nodule was malignant and surgery was performed by Dr Tripathy. who performed a lobectomy and my tumor was removed successfully and no spread of cancer was observed. Dr. Tripathy made all the right decisions to save my life. Each step of the way was explained to me by Dr Tripathy thoroughly throughout this procedure. Excellence in highest regard

I love Dr. Tripathy! He is extremely professional, great bedside manner and explained to me, in great detail, what to expect prior, during and after, my triple bypass surgery. Additionally, he has a great sense of humor! He was so kind and sweet to my 2 daughters, who were extremely anxious about my procedure. We have developed a great rapport with this wonderful doctor. I am so happy that my cardiologist, Dr. Htut Win, referred me to him. Can't thank you enough-you're the best! I would refer Dr. Tripathy, in a heartbeat.

Dr. Tripathy is an amazing doctor and took great care of my mom. My mom was one of his most difficult cases he had and went above and beyond the call of duty for her. I am so great full to have him as a doctor. His staff is also nice and welcoming and helped us when we need paperwork for my mom to be filled for FMLOA. Thank you all very much

Dr. Tripathy is the most compassionate caring doctor out there. He truly takes the best care of his patients. He did my dad’s complex carotid surgery & saved his life. He took time to meet with my family and answer all questions before and after the surgery. Truly one of a kind, best CV surgeon in town, thank you!

When I had my heart attack they found out that I had an aneurysm on the descending aorta that they said could rupture at any moment and the heart valve was bad. The cardiologist called in Dr. Tripathy who agreed to do the surgery. He performed a triple bypass, replaced my heart valve and did a graft on the aorta. 8 years later my tests are showing that everything is still fine. He saved my life!

My husband had him at sugarland methodist hospital. I would recommend him to any one. His bed side manner is great he makes sure you understand everything. Also gives up dates while he's in surgery. He had a passion that you can feel he truly loves what he does.

When I knew that I had to undergo surgery and treatment, I first consulted with Dr. Tripathy. However, my insurance is not compatible so he recommended another good doctor compatible with my insurance. I'm grateful for his professionalism and for being caring. Having known him and his expertise, he visited me at the hospital before I went through my surgery. Thank you Dr. Tripathy. I'm forever grateful I highly recommend him.
