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.

I wish all my doctors were as wonderful. I have complete confidence in him. Everything is explained well and he's never in a rush.

Knowledgeable and Skilled Surgeon
Back to see Dr. Sandesara after an unexpected trip to the ER for a return of AFIB. Took my wife into the exam with me because she had only met him once after he performed an ablation and she expressed a desire to hear and participate in our conversation. He greeted us warmly and asked me what happened so I gave him the facts of my physical activity, 5 mile hike and insufficient hydration on a warm spring day so I was likely a bit dehydrated. He told us that the ER had given me any fluids but no drugs to convert my rhythm since I had taken 100mg of flecinaide attempting to stop the AFIB at home. Gave me insight on hydration and electrolytes impact on arryrythmia and said to come back in 90 days for consideration of a tune up of the ablation. My wife was very impressed with his communication and our conversation.

Arrhythmia Consultation (A-Fib & Atrial Flutter)
Dr. Sandesara was very thorough from his initial information gathering, to his assessment and final our open discussion. I felt listened to and a part of the decision process on possible next steps. We agreed that given my age (66) and generally good health that the timing was very good to address this with an Ablation procedure.

He is an Electrophysiologist and a very good one.
This was not my first visit so I can say confidently that he is very knowledgeable in his field. I find him very calm and intent on listening first. He checks all aspects of pacemaker (in my case) thoroughly and provides answers to your questions without any rush. I find him easy to understand and follow his advice. He took over my care after my move to this area by first reviewing all the information sent in by my previous surgeon/cardiologist. I feel fortunate having found him close to where we live. He encourages you to ask questions so that he can give you the right guidance. I feel his patients including myself are in good hands.

This world needs more Doctors like him
When I first met Dr Sandesera I was very frightened about what was happening to me. His calm, caring demeanor put me at ease. After the appropriate tests he diagnosed my issue and it is now under control. I see Dr Sandesera for follow up visits and check ups. Years ago he practiced at a location very close to my home. Though he is now farther away, I continue to see him. If I ever have a more significant heart issue or require surgery, I would be comforted knowing Dr Sandesera was addressing it.

We did a Telehealth visit. Dr. Sandesara is pleasant, professional, speaks to the patient on their level. Takes his time, talks slowly so the patient can understand and gives you options. If I had to have a procedure he would be the Dr. I would go with. He put me at total ease. Wonderful Dr. and I highly recommend him!!!
