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.

So rude. So dismissive. Truly a terrible person

I overheard a conversation where my mother was talking to this doctor. I was horrified. She used phrases such as “whatever” to answer my moms health questions and she belittled my mother the rest of the time. She is not a good person, nor a good doctor.

I’ve been a patient of hers for 25 years. My last appointment was brief , and not helpful. Instead of politely pointing out some key points to improve my health care, she scolded me . Extremely humiliating

There is always an issue. Can’t make an appointment, bill is wrong and follow-up appointments are not flexible. The front office is rude. Since they’ve grown into this new office system, they’ve lost their touch. Dr Itchhaporia is professional but out of touch with her office.

I have been a patient 11 years and she has always been short in her time with me but the last visit was unacceptable. I was having trouble with my blood pressure been erratic. She would NOT look at my numbers , said i could have made them up . Said to go back to my GP to deal with my blood pressure as she was done with it . I left the office in tears and called my GP as I was ready to go the ER . Found another cardiologist thank god whom took the time to help fix my blood pressure , apparently Dr Itchapporia had me on an old drug that was not good for my organs as well Please pick another cardiologist, there are a lot out there that are as good or better and NICER as a person.

have relied on the advice and support of Dr. Itchhaporia for many years. She has not given up on me and has helped me lose thirty pounds and reduce my A1-C a full point. My heart arrythmia and blood pressure are under control too. Aside from her "tough love" style she has taken a sincere interest in my progress and frankly, I consider her a gift.

I like her though she is a bit terse. My cholesterol was a bit elevated, but my good cholestral was also high. I am fit, reasonable weight, no family cardiac history and I eat well. She pushed me to get on statins ASAP and was angry that I didn't follow her advice. Found another cardiologist who gave me a calcium artery test. Results: clean with no plaque what so ever! Never should have been on statins. Must be easier for her to prescribe meds.

Dr. Itchhaporia is an excellent physician who is competent and caring. She is clear on the importance of exercise and weight management, but I would ask for nothing less. I have found her to have an excellent bedside manner as she has patiently listened to learn what was happening in my life regarding stress and my high blood pressure. The staff has never been rude to me and I have been seeing her for many years.

She is very disrespectful and her practice appears to be very very high stress. If you are looking for a kind, respectful, professional I would suggest looking elsewhere. I'm sure she is a great cardiologist, but not a very good people person.

She told me my sinus tachycardia was due to anxiety, without running any tests other than an EKG. And she told me it would go away if I would just calm down. Of course, I was perfectly calm while she was telling me this, despite the fact my heart was beating at 120. A patient being concerned about their condition does not mean they have an anxiety disorder. I found another doctor and have been diagnosed with autonomic neuropathy (which causes tachycardia), and am now under proper care.
