Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Amazing
Dr. Anitha was one of the best doctors I’ve ever had! She was extremely helpful and understanding through all of my visits. She listened and valued everything I had to say. She knows her stuff more than any other cardiologist I have gone to, so I’m pleased I found her when I did.I would recommend her to anyone looking for an absolutely amazing cardiologist.

Excellent physician
During my first visit I was impressed with the thoroughness of the examination of my symptoms.She immediately set up an in depth examination with the ability to correct the problems that might be discovered. The intervention she performed at that time corrected the problem. I was looking at a probable much more complicated heart surgery had she not intervened. She is quick and decisive with the skills required to rectify the situation. Her staff are very capable, efficient and are available unlike some practices I've experienced. Follow up appointments are quick.

Incredible Advocate & Cardiologist
Dr. Anitha's dedication to her patients knows no bounds. Despite being in another state to attend a family member's college graduation, she went above and beyond to be sure my 84-year-old mother received the urgent care she needed over Memorial Day weekend. Dr. Anitha's commitment to facilitating the partnership with an electrophysiologist, as well as her consistent check-ins before and after the surgery, truly exemplify her exceptional level of care. Her personal efforts to secure the best possible specialist for my mother during a time-sensitive situation highlights her unwavering commitment to patient well-being.

Without a doubt, one of THE BEST in her art!
This woman is a saint. Seriously. I've got recurring arterial problems due to a family history. I was referred to Dr. Rajamanickam by my primary care doctor several years ago. She has been my cardiologist since. I have had to have a couple of procedures performed, and she has done both of them. Both were done properly, timely, and without concern. I am extremely skeptical and untrusting when it comes to surgical procedures. This is truly a doctor who knows her art - I'm certain her intervention has greatly extended my life. She is someone I can truly trust, be perfectly honest with, and get an appointment within a reasonable amount of time. There really aren't any doctors like Dr. Rajamanickam left in today's world - she is a gem of a doctor and a gem of a person. Her staff is friendly as well, and the office is a comfortable environment. I feel truly blessed that I was connected with Dr. Rajamanickam and am able to have her as my ongoing support for my cardiovascular health.

Review-Gord
I was referred to Dr. Rajamanickam by my primary care physician after a potential heart problem (totally unknown to me then) was detected. Lucky me! Following extensive tests by Dr. Rajamanickam, diagnostics showed I had some risks that could be dealt with by diet changes and minor medication changes. This fine Doctor has provided me with education, great care, and encouragement to improve my overall health and extend my life-span. I can't imagine anyone else could provide me with better care.

Best Cardiologist Ever
Dr Anitha has been my cardiologist for several years. When it was determined that the stents were no longer effective, she searched for the best possible surgeon to perform the bypass surgery. She has followed me closely and I could not ask for a better doctor to take care of my heart. Thanks Dr Anitha

She Saved My Life
I came to TriCity Medical Center by ambulance and was told I was having a heart attack. I was taken to a Cath Lab by the interventional cardiologist on call. They found serious blockages involving all of my blood vessels. The cardiologist who did the procedure said it was too difficult to fix. I was placed in intensive care unit and intubated. I was told I would need urgent open heart surgery to fix my heart. The cardiac surgeon told my family I was too high risk for pen heart and there was nothing he could do for me. The only option he gave me was comfort care and I would only have 24 to 48 hours to live. Then Dr. Anitha stepped onto the scene. She agreed to fix my blood vessels. Turns out, she did more than this, she completely succeeded in restoring all blood flow back to my heart with no complications using a small artery to go through. It was a miracle and she saved my life. I am eternally grateful for Dr. Anitha and her team for giving me my life back.

Amazing Doctor
Dr. Anitha, and her staff were efficient proficient and each member from the Doctor to nurse, to receptionist were extremely helpful, took the time to listen and address any questions and or concerns I have ever had or didn't fully understand. I have had this Doctor for several years now, and I must say as far as my cardio care has been concerned she is througho, and leaves nothing to change. Doctor Anitha Rajamanickam is well educated, highly accredited and I would not hesitate to recommend this Cardiologist to anyone with cardiology concerns.

Best Doctor
Dr. Anitha is wonderful and one of most professional and kindest doctor I've met. She made me feel comfortable and secure that I was in expert hands. I had a 100% blocked main artery in my abdomen leading to my legs and could barely walk without pain. She opened it up and put a stent in and I was able to walk again and go home in 3 hours. Now I am back to normal and able to do my job 100%. Her office staff is awesome- they answers my calls immediately and went way and beyond to schedule my appointments and procedure to suit my needs. I would 100% recommend her and her office to anyone who is in need of a peripheral interventional cardiologist.

excellent, caring doctor
I met Dr Rajamanickam after I had a massive heart attack and she did emergency surgery to place a stent to open up a 100% blocked artery. She's competent, cares about her patients and listens patiently. Her staff is great too--very helpful, competent and efficient. I wish I could find a primary care office as good.

I recently had a procedure on my heart performed by Dr. Anitha. She was very careful to make sure I was comfortable and the procedure was successful. She also responded to questions I had after going home. Given her skill and care for her patients, I would highly recommend Dr. A for cardiac care.

Well Trained, well educated, and experienced
When I needed a heart valve replaced i chose Dr. Anitha. I wanted the TAVR procedure performed. Dr. Anitha was highly recommended. did my background check and found she studied with the best Cardiologists in the country at Cleveland Clinic and Mount Sinai Hospital. When I met with her she impressed me with her patience and knowledge in answering my questions, She made sure I knew everything I needed to about it and felt comfortable with the procedure. During the procedure there were complications due to my Parkinson's Disease. She knew exactly what to do and the procedure was very successful. She continues to be my Cardiologist since then. I highly recommend her.
