This is where the patients heart is monitored while at a resting stage, as well as when exercising. Dr. Punit K. Sarna was recommended to me by my primary care doctor. Dr. Sarna specializes in "Cardiology" with Mercy Medical Group in the city of Elk Grove, California. As soon as I found out my surgery date, I called Mercy Medical Group to schedule an appointment for my Stress test. The receptionist said the earliest opening for a stress test was three - four weeks away. The only problem was that my surgery was only two weeks away. Special thanks to Dr. Sarna for taking time out of his busy schedule to administer my test and to his wonderful assistant Yolanda. Thank you Mercy Medical Group for having doctors like Dr. Punit K.

However, I always ensure my new insurance includes Dr. Jain before I take the insurance. She takes care of me and many of my friends with the best care. She is an amiable and experienced doctor. When River Oak Medical Group moved into this new office many years ago, it was a significant improvement from the old office. The office is starting to show the age now. But it's still way better than some doctor's offices I have seen. River Oak Medical Group is a smaller medical group. They may not be getting the benefit of the huge medical groups or hospitals. But they offer more personal care. You get to know most of the people in there like a family.

Of course I don't, I am a 28 year old man that is in good athletic condition being seen for neurological symptoms. After I listed brain fog, visual distortions, balance issues, numbness and tingling, stroke like symptoms etc, he told me I looked healthy and thats in my head and I need to talk to my PCP about behavioral medication. Of course I was offended because i am completely normal, highly functioning adult with no behavioral issues. That being said, I woke up today with more tingles and numbness in my limbs and tingling in my spine and will be seeing another neurologist. I will be suing him for malpractice if I am diagnosed with a neurological condition. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PHYSICAN

Unhappy with that doctor calling me repeatedly by the wrong name and using the wrong person's chart, I switched to Dr Singh. He has been a godsend.

Sometimes patients may have to wait a bit, but they can rest assured that Dr. Singh is giving others the same care and attention he gives to you. I don't recommend that you have cardiology issues, but if you do, Dr Singh Is the best.

Beware of Dr.Choon-Weng Chan!!…read more It's difficult finding a compassionate doctor. Dr.Choon-WengChan is the most ignorant & disrespectful doctor ever encountered. Dr.Chan lacks compassion for patients brushing off all patient's concerns and questions. When Dr.Chan found out he didn't have the credibility to treat patient's specific illness; his demeanor immediately changed to being disrespectfully rude. At first we gave Dr.Choon-WengChan the benefit of doubt that he was acting improfessional, because of stress. Trying to avoid conflict, we continued to seek Dr.Chan's care, to which he continued being ignorant and disrespectful. Dr.Chan said chilling things like "why are you still alive", "if you're in China you should be dead", "you know Chinese hate disabled people", "don't come back", "you don't look sick", "I don't want to see you anymore". He spoke to us as if we can't comprehend his insults to injuries, which raises our concerns and questions to his credibility as a "doctor". Leaving Dr.Choon-WengChan's practice is a fortune.

Dr Ansari is the reason I switched to Dignity! Although, I have had to follow up with a call to her team a few times, I am convinced it is a processing, workflow issue that Dignity as well as my previous provider, needs to address, not De Ansari! If I had the power, I would make the "process" of referrals, documentation, follow up, etc. smoother via better training. Until then, I decided to be my own advocate in order to keep this wonderful doctor. Actually, It has gotten even better now that I have modified my expectations and do what I can to move things along... often with a reminder call, and patience.

We lost a month with my 88 year old dad in terms of getting into a specialist because of their lack of responsiveness: My 88-year-old father recently had a transient ischemic attack (TIA) and was discharged from the hospital with instructions to follow up with a cardiologist. His primary care physician sent a referral to Roseville Cardiology Medical Associates. Over the next three weeks I called the cardiology referral department six separate times and left voicemail messages requesting a callback so we could schedule the appointment. In each message I explained that my father had recently been hospitalized and urgently needed cardiology follow-up. I never received a return call. Today a home health nurse contacted the office to escalate the issue and we learned that the cardiology office had declined the referral due to my father's secondary insurance and had sent a fax to the primary care office. However, the primary care office never received the fax and we were never notified of the decision. If we had been contacted, we would have agreed to pay any copays or out-of-network costs to ensure he received care. My concern is that despite multiple calls regarding an elderly patient with a recent TIA, the office never returned our calls and did not notify us directly that the referral had been declined. This lack of communication resulted in a significant delay in necessary cardiology follow-up care.

Waleed Effendi, ENP, was checking my routine blood lab report the week before my 6-month checkup appointment. He noticed the low hemoglobin and consulted with Dr. Yadlapalli who agreed that my low hemoglobin was life threatening. Immediately Waleed phoned and advised me to go to the emergency room for blood transfusions. After ER scans, checks, and a two-unit blood transfusion, I was scheduled for a colonoscopy which showed an asymptomatic Stage Three cancer tumor. Without Waleed's detailed check and alert notice, this would have continued undetected. The office staff is friendly and extra helpful. Just before my scheduled colorectal surgery, the anesthesiologist wanted a cardiology clearance. I phoned Marina Sokolik, M.A. late on a Friday afternoon and she worked with P.A. Julie to send the necessary records to clear my Tuesday surgery. I am very appreciative for the extra personal care and support from Twelve Bridges Cardiology.
