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.

Very caring and comfortable doctor.i prayed and asked for good doctor I believe prayer was answered.

Wonderful Experien e
Dr. Nanavati provided a very professional and comfortable first experience for both my husband and myself. We both felt confident that he is very competent and thorough in his diagnosis and follow up. He was attentive, answered all of our questions, was respectful and pleasant. I can't say enough positive things about our experience. We would highly recommend him based on our experiences.

The best cardiologist
My first appointment with Dr Nanavati was one of the best interactions with a cardiologist during last several years. He was found to be a very knowledgable, caring, friendly physician who pays attention to all of your concerns, listens to you with patience and answers all of your questions. I have been a patient at this center in Redding and am really happy to have Dr Nanavati here to be my cardiologist.

He’s been very good to my Mother and I for the last 5 years or so. I would not change cardiologists because of his dedication to helping us with our heart conditions.

He is very professional, highly-skilled, and keeps up with the latest in cardiology. He is also very caring, extending himself to make sure his patients understand what is doing and why they need to take that procedures he has recommended. I recommend him above any other cardiologist I know of.

The doctor has been my cardiologist since I arrived in Chula Vista. I have been very satisfied with his care over the last 3 years. He is very good at listening to his patients. I don't feel like I'm being rushed while I'm at an office visit. He usually reacts rather quickly when I explain a problem I'm having regarding prescriptions or other medical care issues. In other words, Dr. Nanavati does whatever, is needed when I have a question or problem.

As a Doctor he is okay. He runs late to appointments. At every appointment I have had over the last two years he is always yelling at his staff and putting them down. At each one of my last few appointments he has wanted me to have an EKG done, yet his machine is so old the staff has a very difficult time getting it to work. Today they gave up on it. At my last appointment it took them over twenty minutes to get it to work! Yet he still has not gotten a new machine! I'm finding a new MD!
