Christopher Doan truly saved my life, and I will never forget the care he gave me. He is not only…read moreincredibly knowledgeable, but also kind, compassionate, and even funny. He made me feel comfortable and genuinely cared for during a very difficult time. He went above and beyond to help me feel better and took the extra step to refer me to an amazing surgeon I would have never found on my own. I truly would not be healed if it wasn't for him being a part of this journey, he pushed me forward toward healing when I needed it most. I am beyond grateful for everything he has done for me and the role he played in my recovery. I cannot thank him enough and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an ENT who truly cares about their patients. You genuinely saved my life

Zero stars. Made an appointment. Upon confirmation I asked if I would be seeing an actual Doctor…read more The gal said, "No, you only see a Doctor if there is a procedure." So you are not making a Doctors appt here, you are only making an appt with an NP, not even a PA. I cancelled. This was never disclosed when I called to make the original appointment.

My sincere apologies to Dr. Mallik Thatipelli and Myra for the long lapse of time since I was in…read morefor my last treatment at the end of December 2019 to this posting of my review. As they say "Life is what Happens when you're busy making other plans" Let me say this though.... what a wonderful experience and incredible results. I started treatments on my legs with Dr. Mallik in June of 2019. Both him and his nurse made me comfortable right from the start and although I live in Ridgecrest, Ca. I never will regret having to drive to Bakersfield for the doctor's care and treatments. I had been suffering for the last 6-8 years on a daily basis with leg discoloring due to poor circulation, severe varicose veins in my lower legs, numbing of the feet, excruciating pain from my feet up thru my calves all the time, swelling and constant tingling in my feet, and the inability to stand each morning without 20 mins or so of wishing i could just shoot myself to make the pain go away. After 4 procedures and umpteen treatments I finished my last session in December To be honest, I had residual marking and swelling after most of the appointments just as Dr. Mallik had explained but each time i started noticing improvement... every single time things kept getting better. As of today 6/13/2020 I am still amazed how much better my legs feel. I'm sleeping thru the night, there is no more morning pain and my legs look great. To anyone who has been thinking about addressing varicose veins, wondering what to do about leg swelling, worrying about sores on their legs just stop it. Go to see Dr. Mallik Thatipelli you won't regret it. Thank you Dr. M and Myra for making my life better

Zero Stars. I had a very negative experience at this office. The doctor came across as controlling,…read moreand the staff appeared intimidated by him. When I was leaving, he rushed over demanding a $20 copay. I explained that my deductible and out-of-pocket maximum had already been met, so I did not owe a copay. Even after I verified this with my insurance, he continued yelling and instructed the staff not to let me leave until I paid. His behavior became so aggressive that I felt frightened and ran out of the office. Although my procedure had been fully approved, I never returned because of how I was treated. They called me everyday for almost a month asking me to go back in to have my procedure done. I also never received a bill which showed I did not owe them the $20 they were demanding. This happened some time ago, so I hope things have improved since then.

Dont go to this location (only) if you are doing a stress test that day. The staff alone will…read morestress you out before the test begins. Office staff "seem" uncaring and this place does not "seem" to respect your time. The person (Heather) who called me back was also the one performing the procedure was kind and knowledgeable and also took good care of me. Please read carefully as this is not a BAD review l Just saying if I'm performing a test don't stress me out before I get started.

This place is fantastic. I see Dr. Doctor, as does all of my family, and he is absolutely amazing…read more He's extremely knowledgeable and keeps up to date with what's going on in various medical fields. This new location on Old River is great. Very convenient. Hopefully we'll be able to get my in-laws ICD checked there in the near future. As for the Sillect location...the imaging side is great. Front desk staff is friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. I've had three ultrasounds there and every time I have excellent service. Even my CT scan went well. The appointment side is just as great. They have friendly staff and the wait has reduced since the Old River location opened. Parking at the Sillect location can be a bit congested, but seems better with the other location now open. The actual Heart Hospital... fantastic. Nothing but excellent service from everyone I encountered. Highly recommend for your cardiology and vascular needs.

Dr. Geetanjali Sharma is a fantastic doctor! I was referred to her through a colleague and what a…read moregreat referral! I have been with her for over 8 years and she is a doctor who listens, addresses concerns, and puts patient care at the center of her practice. She is clear with options and risks with medications, and is clear with follow up instructions. She is a very professional, kind, and caring doctor. I am always able to get into see her in a reasonable time and have referred other friends to her who have also told me how much they like that they have a doctor who listens. Dr. Sharma has given me referrals as needed over the years to specialists who have also been very helpful in addressing other medical needs that have come up with illnesses, injuries, and required testing that is needed with aging. One of the best things about this practice is that you can get your bloodwork done in house - so it's nice to have a morning appointment, come to the appointment fasting, and get your bloodwork done right away- no other appointments or trips to a lab needed! Her office staff is very nice and helpful. They are efficient with paperwork needs and have always been professional and friendly. If you are looking for a primary care physician, Dr. Sharma might be your great fit!
