I had a great experience with Dr. Makkar,. My case was particularly difficult because the first time he went in my PVCs were not acting up. But your off within weeks, they started firing up again, and my life was miserable. The doShow morector was able to go in again, and find them and kill those little bastards. I have not had a PVC since my procedure three months ago and I feel great. I highly recommend Dr. Makkar, and the practice
There us only one thing I wish could be done. Dr Makkar is way to busy to take time with talking to his patients. The Dr sure knows what he is doing and what he wants done from his staff. But please take more time for questions aShow morend answers.

Doctor seems nice. You can tell he’s busy as he doesn’t spend time idling chatting with you. He tries to get from patient room to patient room. However, he’s cordial and took time to express the plan of action.
The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Makkar spent extra time with me to address questions and explain what he was seeing

There us only one thing I wish could be done. Dr Makkar is way to busy to take time with talking to his patients. The Dr sure knows what he is doing and what he wants done from his staff. But please take more time for questions and answers.
