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.

Feeling good again, at last!
Dr. Kannam performed both my coronary angioplasty to implant a stent in a closed artery and the TAVR procedure to replace a malfunctioning valve in my heart. Two weeks after the TAVR procedure, I can already feel the difference. Dr. Kannam was very professional and knowledgeable in all my interactions with him. I highly recommend Dr. Kannam!

Only wants the easy to diagnose patient
Only wants the easy to diagnose patients that he can make big bucks off of them! Does not listen to his patients concerns! If it is a difficult to diagnose patient, and no imediate monitery gain he blows you off!

Not a good experience
If I could leave a zero rating I would. This Doctor is what all other negative reviews entail. He trained under some incredible cardiologist’s in Detroit but I believe he left his skills he acquired at the door. Stay away if at all possible.

The BEST of the best!
We met Dr Kannam 2 years ago after retiring and moving to citrus county, my husband was having chest pains and we went to Citrus Memorial hospital, all the test showed he was ok but Dr Kanaam decided to do a heart cath, he found and repaired a blockage. We have since had several more visits to the ER where we met others from his group, all are among the BEST of the best. Dr. Kannam is kind, caring and patient. He has never rushed through an office visit. He answers all of our questions and we have always left his office or hospital knowing that we were treated by the best! I can not thank you enough Dr Kannam for all that you have done for my husband.

TVAR
I recently had a TVAR procedure done, and I have no doubt Dr. Kannam saved my life on 08/15/2023 as I was headed for HF due to the Severe Aortic Stenosis, I was diagnosed with in hospital. And I can't thank him enough for his Expertise and Knowlege for the level of care he has given to me. From the procedure to post op. It's so wonderful to breathe again with ease! Thank you Dr. Kannam you're the best!! Eston Gant

TAVR Procedure
With aortic stenosis, my prognosis was not good, probably ending with congestive heart failure at some point in time. After a heart catheter and a number of tests it was determined I was a candidate for TAVR procedure. Meeting with TAVR team, doctors, and given much documentation about what all was involved I decided to have the TAVR procedure. Dr Hari Kannam was one of surgeons and in my opinion was knowledgeable and self assuring to me and I felt confident of his capabilities.

He asked me about all of my heart problems and when he got the wrong answers from me, he realized that he had the wrong file. He acts as if he is doing you a favor by answering your questions--- and his answers are not informative.

Not impressed. Poor bedside Manner and did not communicate very well. Left many things unexplained and when questioned seemed to be put out. Based on what was in test reports his conclusions and recommended treatments seem to be questionable.

It is painful to see someone performing a job that they obviously hate doing. Dr Kannam recently performed a cardiac cath for me. I found him to be arrogant,judgemental,and abrupt. The procedure went well,but it could have felt sooo much better with just a touch of bedside manner.
