I have borderline severe aortic stenosis and am symptomatic. A MD friend recommended Dr. Panguluri…read morefor TAVR. I called on 3/10 and was told by snarky scheduler Tonya on 3/10/26 that I needed a referral. My internist faxed a referral. Tonya didn't get it. Internist sent it again on 3/11. On 3/12, I was called back by a nice woman and told that Dr. Panguluri wasn't taking new patients. Then, called again on 3/13 by another nice woman who said my file would be sent to another TAVR cardiologist. I saw a NP at my internist on 3/17 and asked them to resend the referral and include my echocardiogram results. Snarky Tonya called immediately and said stop sending FAX's. I said that I told Desiree and Penny last week that I would be happy to see ANY TAVR cardiologist in their group if Panguluri was not taking new patients. When Tonya said that Panguluri wouldn't see me, I asked if he had looked at my ECHO. She said he looked at the referral. I asked about the echo again. She angrily said "he REFUSES to see you." I reiterated that I would like to see a TAVR cardiologist in their group. It may be that Panguluri does not want to see me. If that's the case, I should've been told that from the beginning. I am very suspicious of the scheduler gate keepers. After being told that my referral would be sent to another doctor on 3/13, nothing has happened as of 3/18. I will also leave a negative review on Health Grades as (like Yelp), it can't be removed.

I was in desperate need to get in to a cardiologist in order to have an upcoming surgery approved…read more The center got me into see Dr. Fitts. I read the negative reviews and was prepared to find another doctor. However, after several visits and one procedure at the hospital, I have found him to be attentive, accurate in his diagnosis and treatment recommendations, and positive. He does come across with a serious demeanor and isn't touchy feely. But that isn't what I am looking for in a cardiologist. He uses a cautious approach to medicine and as someone who lacks faith in doctors, I appreciate this.

Worst doctor I have ever had. Uncaring, rude self centered. Gave me medication knowing I had a…read morereaction too and still gave it to me because he liked it not caring about the side affects that it caused me. When I tried to show him the results from the medication, he slapped my hand away and claimed the medication does not cause that in spite of the printout I obtained that clearly states that in fact it does cause this reaction. Still works under the old school methods of giving catheterizations through the groin. I see a great doctor there now who did the procedure through my wrist. He also doctors your medical records to make you out to be a difficult patient if he did anything wrong to cover his own butt. A very cold man!

I was referred by my cardiologist to Dr Feldman for a consultation for pacemaker implant back in…read moreOctober of 2024. Dr Feldman appeared personable & knowledgeable. The procedure was moved back from early November to November 19 due to a pacemaker battery procedure being requested by his scheduler vs a routine pacemaker surgical implant which was a little disconcerting. I was admitted to Eisenhower around noon time on 11/19/24 for surgery at 2 p.m. At 2 p.m. I was still waiting in the pre-op area so my wife inquired as to what was going on...she was told my procedure would be delayed 2 hours due to an emergency. I was taken back for surgery at 4 p.m. At 6 p.m. I woke up in recovery. I never saw Dr Feldman before or after my procedure. I was told at my initial consultation I would be discharged home after the surgery. Due to my procedure being moved back to 4 p.m. it was recommended I spend the night in the hospital. That experience was a nightmare documented on Yelp under Eisenhower Medical Center. I was discharged the next morning at 10 a.m. I did not see Dr Feldman before, after or at discharge or ever again. If you want a surgeon who communicates with you & cares about your well being you may want to consider another surgeon. My over all experience was very unpleasant. Hopefully NEVER again. Michael Y
