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.

This review has literally been a long time coming. Dr. Kandula saved me after a heart attack in 2002. I was 32 years old at the time. I am so grateful that he was the on call cardiologist that day. I still think about him often. Thank you, Doctor Kandula and lab staff.

Need a cardiologist? Call Dr. Kandula's Office
I have been with Dr. Kandula for over 8 years now and would absolutely HATE to have to find another cardiologist. I drive around 50 miles to make appointments. He can sometimes be a bit difficult to understand but he still gets his point across in a FRIENDLY and usually humorous manner. He tells me what he thinks (his job I believe) even if I don't necessarily agree. I am not a a gym rat so he still tries to get me to get out an walk; which I do to a certain extent, but I live 30 minutes practically from anywhere with a good place for walking so my driveway is my walking path. Even so, he still looks out for MY health. Only times I've had to wait on him was due to an emergency, or a surgery that took longer than expected. As a matter of fact, I may have been one of those emergencies 8 years ago that made someone have to wait. If so, I apologize, but that incident and experiencing Dr. Kandula's medical abilities has changed my life for the better. Need a cardiologist? Call Dr Kandula.

Dr. Kandula is supposed to be an accomplished doctor specializing in cardiovascular disease. He may be accomplished in his knowledge and skills, but he is not a nice person. I can't think of a good reason to become a doctor if you hate dealing with people. This man obviously is not in it to help people. I guess he is only in it for the money. I watched him berate a family member that he is supposed to be caring for.
