Caring knowledgeable professionals from beginning to end. Would highly recommend.
Unlike the typical healthcare experience. NO long wait to see the doctor. Professionalism and efficiency every step of the way. I am glad I found them and you will be too.
Dr. Makkar has a good conversational manner. He provides pertinent information but also gives enough time fo the patient to express themselves & give feedback. Good telecom experience.

Dr. Makkar is a great Dr. He knows his stuff. Explains everything well. He's very professional and doesn't mess around.
My experience was very caring and positive.
Dr. Makkar and his staff are always personable and truly care about their patients. I owe my life to Dr. Makkar placement of a pacemaker and defibrillator in 2014, which worked so well to restart my heart rhythm 5 times since May 2024.
Great patient interaction! Gets to the point and next steps quickly. Leading edge approach and practice.

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
Caring, knowledgeable, on time, organized. All the attributes I like in a physician and the staff. Highly recommend!!
He answered my questions even about a theoretical future.
Dr . Makkar was thorough and informative describing one’s options . Would recommend him to anyone.
Professional. Knowledgeable. Pleasant. Thorough.
Great experience
