Mindy in the Accounting department was EXTREMELY RUDE. She needs to understand that the health of a patient is most important. Actually, I have NEVER had ANYONE from ANY doctor's offices be so rude, loud talking, and would not allShow moreow me to see the doctor for my scheduled appointment like she did. I would definitely have left the practice due to her extreme rudeness; however upon me calling CeCe and she was courteous, kind and helpful. Also, Dr. Makkar himself was very kind and apologized for Mindi who never has apologized for her extreme rudeness. Problems are not solved by rudeness but by kindness. Thank you Dr. Makkar that you shown me kindness.
I feel very blessed that my heart is in the best hands, (literally). I have had three surgeries and I am coming back from severe heart failure. The staff keeps in touch with me, and I always get a fast response to my quesShow moretions. I have sent family members and friends to Dr. Makkar. May I say that having Samantha on the phones and at the front desk has made your office a much better place to work with! She is professional and keeps her word. You don't have call back several times anymore.

Casual and still professional. Pleasant experience.
Excellent office staff and a great Doctor
Dr Makkar is fantastic! He really cares about his patience and he listens to you and has no problem answering any of your questions. He never makes you feel like you’re taking up his time. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing his type services.
Setting appointment was fast and easy. Staff and provider were professional and friendly.
Everything I wanted to know was told to me today. And I got three appointments set up as well.
Dr. Makkar did amazing work on me last spring. My pacemaker and ablation have changed my life. I highly recommend Dr. Makkar!
