When your mother is facing a serious heart condition, having confidence in her cardiologist is invaluable. Dr. J has been exceptional in caring for my mother as she navigates complex issues related to leaky heart valves. Dr. J combines medical expertise with candidness and compassion. He is obviously passionate about his work and took the time to clearly explain my mother's condition, diagram her issues, and discuss a new valve repair option. He answered our questions candidly, thoughtfully, and precisely--and his recommendation was based on her individual circumstances. Dr. J presented the possible benefits and risks of a new cutting-edge tricuspid valve replacement option, scheduled her for relevant tests, and answered her (many) questions with interest and respect. If you or a loved one needs a cardiologist--especially for valve issues--we recommend Dr. J. We are grateful for Dr. J's guidance and would recommend him to anyone seeking excellent cardiac care. read more

Excellent Trusted Care I moved to the Dr. Janardhanan's practice at Banner 18 months ago. The previous provider as for lack of another term 'a total mess, involving unfounded cookie-cutter treatment extremes'. I arrived with hope for a better experience and I found just that. His demeanor and expertise were comforting and I felt I finally found the care I expected. I value the ability to work with my providers as a partner, and especially so when that partnership is reciprocal. Exceptional medical care requires designing treatment for each patient. I feel I am in the best of hands. Dr Janardhanan is very appreciated partner and am happy to be in his care. read more

Dr. J is attentive and an active listener. He asked questions about my life that were not just clinical in nature. He proposed the next steps plan and I agree with it. I have worked closely with clinicians for over 20 years. Therefore, I am very particular in selecting and keeping those who help guide me with health and medical decisions and care. Dr. J is a kind and empathetic physician who seems very dedicated to delivering the highest standard of care for his patients. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a cardiologist in Tucson. Additional comments about the other staff members: Carrie at the front desk was friendly and welcoming. As soon as I arrived, she let me know that the doctor may be running about 15-20 minutes behind. However that did not happen. There was a very rude older man checking in after me and the other woman at the desk handled that interaction with as much patience and calmness as a person in that situation could offer. Maridella was kind and friendly both on phone calls before the appointment as well as at the appointment. All around...it was a great experience for me! read more

Great doctor. Limits the number of patients he treats and reviews all radiology tests himself.

Count yourself lucky if you have Dr J as your cardiologist. I'm still pinching myself! A previous Dr wrote me perscriptions after a 5 minute appointment. Dr J was whole different story. He has some God given skills ( ability to describe complex systems and reasoning into truly absorbable and valuable info and human concern with joy) yet is extremely studied with ability to consider your own personal situation instead of just a follow the flowchart type of experience. Cannot recommend enough. read more

Dr "J" as he's referred to is a breathe of fresh air. He listens and processes as he lets you explain what's wrong. He doesn't make you feel rushed. Then, he evaluates. He is not satisfied or confident with the results & tests done by others, so he does his own. He does most of his tests himself, and personally reads and evaluates the tests done by the people he's trained so he can develop a road map that he has constructed. He doesn't jump to conclusions. His diagnosis is based on his facts and his tests. He makes you feel confident that he has only your best interest in mind. He has a great sense of humor that makes you feel like a family member. I'm extremely satisfied. read more

Dr. J is an amazing doctor to have on your side. He goes above and beyond. His appointments are thorough and you can tell her genuinely cares about you. I would highly recommend him and Banner. I have only had great experiences with them. I truly appreciate Dr. J for making me feel comfortable and well taken care of during a stressful time in my life! read more

Dr. Janardhanan was not my original cardiologist. He was asked to look at my "anomalous" echo results one day. I immediately knew how passionate he is about his field and helping people. He is handling my case now, and I couldn't be happier. He is thorough in his explanations, makes me feel comfortable, and is positive about path forward. Dr. J genuinely cares about his patients. He just got back from a mission in a different country to help people in a village take care of their hearts. That says it all. I am looking forward to working with him. On another note, he is the first doctor that I have ever had that keeps in communication about my case. read more

My first time seeing Dr. J and I was very nervous however he took the time to talk and explain to me what he saw in the ultra sound. He brought me such peace, I cant thank him enough. He actually cared about my mental health as well as my heart. What a blessing it is to have him as my doctor. He went above and beyond, which is not common now a days!! read more

Dr. Janardhanan is an excellent doctor. Seeing a cardiologist can be stressful, but he is kind, proactive, knows his stuff, and takes time to explain things and inquire about my overall well-being. His staff is also wonderful. Highly recommended. read more

First and foremost, I am so blessed to have found Dr J. In the sea of Cardiologist to choose from, I feel Dr J was a God send when I was looking for someone to care for my heart. From the moment I met him, I knew I was in good hands. Dr J is professional, intelligent, knowledgable and thorough while still being personable, caring and very funny. He is a great listener and makes you feel completely at ease when talking with him. He is meticulous when caring for you, making sure he doesn't miss anything. He made me feel like I was a family member with his caring and sincere demeanor. I recommended Dr J to all my friends and family because after meeting Dr J, I wouldn't trust anyone else to care for me, my loved ones, and friends. read more

I just want to start this off by saying I'm a handful, medically speaking. I have a lot of conditions that combined cause serious symptoms. I tend to fit the "rarity box" and have trouble finding docs who will listen completely and take their time understanding me, my situation and how to approach it. I feel so lucky to have found Dr. Janardhanan. I have recently had my first appointment with him and already he's discovered a PFO and has me scheduled to come in for further testing asap. He even personally checks in with me on his own time to update me. His scheduling is really backed up for testing but he's amongst the best at what he does and I am honored to be working with him and his team to hopefully get to the bottom of my symptoms. I have a gut feeling it'll all be worth it! read more

Excellent! I chose Dr. Janardhanan after reading the positive information on him. I am extremely pleased with his direct and complete involvement and detailed concern over my issues. He clearly explains all matters and fully listened to my concerns. Additionally, every person in his staff has been helpful and considerate. Dr. Janardhanan was my right choice and thankful for other positive patients for this information. read more

I am so grateful for the care I have received from Dr. Rajesh Janardhanan and his team. My previous cardiologist retired and Dr. J took over my care. Although I would rather not have the need of a cardiologist, I would recommend him to everyone in need. He and his team have proved to be caring, competent, and thorough in determining my issues. It was very comforting that he always stayed in contact with me as I went through the diagnostic processes. He has communicated quickly and has been educationally informative after every test and procedure. I could not have asked for a more caring, knowledgeable, and competent cardiologist. read more

Dr J is the most available and responsive doctor I have ever met. He responds to questions by email immediately regardless of where he is in the world! He is smart and thorough and respectful. His explanations are made in such a way that a lay person can completely understand. I highly recommend Dr J to anyone in need of a cardiologist. read more

Dr. Janardhanan is the finest cardiologist I have ever met. I am 69 years old and have lived in 5 states and 2 foreign countries and have seen many doctors. No one was as careful and compassionate, and highly knowledgeable as Dr. Janardhanan is. I feel completely safe under his care, I have appreciated his ease at explaining test results and diagnoses as well as helping me understand what surgery was needed and why. His name is sacred in our house. My husband and I have the up most respect for this special physician and we both highly recommend him to you. read more

Cordial, caring, and comprehensive are three words that best describe my judgment of Dr. Raj Janardhanan (Dr. J). I am a relatively new patient (four months) but I am an experienced user of medical services, particularly cardiologists, because of my cardiovascular conditions. My first encounter with Dr. J provides some insight into my confidence in him and his approach. He had already digested the records from my previous cardiologist and those provided by the Cleveland Clinic. He knew my background so he focused on my current concerns which eventually led to his specific recommendations and plan of action. Noteworthy in this first meeting was his emphasis on my assessment of him and his methods. He specifically reminded me several times that I was the decision maker and completely empowered to make the choices of a cardiologist and selected treatments. The amount of time invested by his questioning provided confidence that he wanted me to make the best decisions for myself, a sure sign that he cared about me and my health. After this comprehensive discussion, he described a plan which included what he called "his way" so that there wouldn't be any confusion about the course of action. "His way" was really a roadmap so that he completely understood the condition of my heart with a series of tests. This would provide him with a "baseline", along with his analysis of the historical records, to move forward with any future treatments. He emphasized and described his philosophy of a conservative approach to treating the heart blended with a straight forward discussion of "what you need" rather than a complicated assessment that would not be understood. For each intended procedure I was provided with specific instructions, including written reminders via the patient electronic portal. Likewise the results were documented for my review. Importantly, after each procedure Dr. J took the time to explain the results to either myself or my husband to ensure we were aware of the situation. Lastly, he understood my appreciation for the services provided by the Cleveland Clinic and my desire to retain and coordinate my future treatments with that Organization. To me, this was an expression of his personal confidence in himself. In fact, Dr. J personally knew my cardiologist at the Cleveland Clinic and asked me to remind him of Dr. J on my next visit. read more

Dr. "J" is the hardest-working physician I've ever met. He works all the time, and follows up with me, even when he's out of the office. In addition to his patience, knowledge, and up-to-date evidence, he is so well respected by the techs, nurses, sonographers and doctors he works with, which made me feel completely comfortable having multiple procedures he recommended. He met me at each procedure; his presence and explanation were beyond reassuring. Highly recommend Dr. J. read more
