Dr. Acharaya saved my life. His greatest attribute is his calm and caring manner. When I…read moreinitially saw him I was asymptomatic for heart disease however I failed a stress test so he recommended a cardiac catheterization which revealed I had extensive coronary artery disease. Within 5 days I had successful open heart surgery. He consistently exceeds my expectations of a physician; I especially appreciate that he encourages me to be an active participant in my care. I have recommended him to my family and friends who need a cardiologist. I hope he never leaves because I will follow him wherever he goes!!!

They do not return calls, blame communication issues on everyone BUT themselves, and do not respond to any form of request. I have been trying for 5 months to get prescriptions sent to our mail order pharmacy. It has yet to happen. No matter when you call the office (even during office hours) you are routed to a rude answering service. I even resorted to a fax to try to get them to communicate, but that was a month ago and still nothing. We will be taking our cardiology business elsewhere, and that's sad. It's ONLY because of this lack of communication with the office.

If you are in a hurry don't recommend. Our appointment was at 11. Got here early at 1045. The…read morewaiting room was overflowing including all around the office people were waiting. We waited for hour and asked someone and that was when they got us back to get vitals. Took two people to get ekg to work. Waited about 20 more minutes for nurse practitioner. We have been here 2 1/2 hours and still haven't seen the Dr which we've been told he will take another hour with us. I originally gave 2 stars because of the crazy wait. However after leaving for hour to eat we got right in with Dr. He was very knowledgeable and listened to all our concerns. He made sure he has a good grasp of the medical history. All the staff was also extremely nice.

I didn't feel like this was the cardiologist for me. Once I arrived the office was set up for…read moretesting and they were still trying to finish the rooms. Once I was told Dr. Sami doesn't do any type of procedures any longer such as stents, etc. Basically everyone at this office was doing all the testing and he wanted it all done at this facility. They didn't even want the bloodwork done anywhere else and there was a 3 day wait for the appointment for bloodwork. I paid the co-pays then they wanted a another payment before testing started like echo echocardiogram, etc. Even if then testing had reasonly been done he said it wasn't done at this office. Then the heart monitors were stacked up near the girls at front desk and everyone was getting one regardless if the monitoring had reasonly been done. Then they required a blood pressure machine and the service to monitor it.. well I had to go to my primary several times because it wasn't working finally I returned it to them because after serval attempts to get an accurate report or reading they could not get it to work. They were supposed to give credit back for services they didn't provide and had charged me & the insurance company..over a year later I'm still waiting for someone in billing to return my call. They sent a bill for $20 for months but told me not to worry until I spoke with billing Mgr. Well a few months ago I received a bill saying they made a mistake and they added $50 now they want $70 and they still owe me money. I have called so many times this person is never available and the girl that answers the phone assured me that many people were having this same problem they can't even tell you what the charges are for it just has the amount and when you ask no one knows so I have all of my statements from the insurance company last year and all of my receipts for my payments because I never went back to this doctor again and I was told to send them certified to this billing person just so I can get it off of me so they'll quit contacting me and not giving me any information in my opinion I feel like it's a scam I feel like he only wants to do the testing there he doesn't want to do any procedures and that's his prerogative means his practice but even in the rooms they got chairs with Do not sit because his wife does plastic surgery or something there I'm just not real sure and I didn't feel comfortable there and I would never go back there again but I'm 100% sure that I do not owe them money and I know that they owe me and the insurance company a refund so he may be a good doctor he just wasn't a good doctor for me and other than the testing he did nothing for me so I have new doctors ​
