We are very happy with the care we receive from The Heart Group. They closely monitor my heart condition and perform regular testing every six months to stay on top of my health needs. The doctors and staff are thorough, caring, and proactive in scheduling any necessary treatments or follow-up care. I truly appreciate their professionalism and dedication to keeping me healthy.

I am very grateful for the care I received from Marcine Schreckengost, NP at The Heart Group. Marcine is compassionate, knowledgeable, and truly took the time to listen and understand my concerns. This was my first appointment with Dr. Sandhu’s NP, and I felt respected, heard, and comfortable asking questions. She made me feel well cared for and explained everything clearly. I highly recommend Marcine Schreckengost, NP for anyone looking for a caring and dedicated provider.

This was my first visit with Dr. Bakhsh. The office was easily accessible. The waiting room was spacious and clean. The registration kiosk was very user friendly. The wait time to get called back was about 10 minutes. After the assistant took my vitals and medication list, the Dr. was there in about 5 minutes. I arrived for my 1:30 appointment at 1:20 and was done and back in Madera by 3:00. I was very satisfied with the entire experience!

I love Dr Jaswant Basraon and his staff at The Heart Group in Fresno, Ca. Everyone is professional and pleasant. I never worry about my care because I know Dr Basraon is well educated and experienced. He is very respectful and explains my results throughly. I highly recommend him.

Office staff very kind and helpful. MA Robert was very gentle and knowledgeable. Dr. Marok was amazing, very kind, soft spoken, and explains everything very well. He ensured we were both on the same page for my care going forward. He is also very personable with great bedside manners! Highly recommend!!

I seen Dr. Singh today for the first time. He was awesome. Friendly and very informative. Already have my ablation date set up. I saw my last Cardiologist for 3 yrs, never once did he suggest an ablation. Dr. Sindhu sent me to Dr. Singh on my second visit. Both these Dr’s. are great!!!

I don’t use my first name and half the time your staff still calls me by it instead of Scott . It’s the front check in. Sad that the info to correctly and respectfully address me is right there on their screens, yet they don’t bother to check. I wish your check in was more professional and courteous.

The office and nursing staff were very professional and efficient in helping establish my husband as a new client with Dr. Sandhu at the California Cardiovascular Institute. We met with the doctor for the first time this morning. We were not only very impressed with Dr. Sandhu’s knowledge, but it was his bedside manner that caught our attention the most. He clearly was interested in getting to know his patient which was evident in the inquiry driven questions he asked and the time he took to carefully listen to his patient’s responses. He continued to demonstrate his commitment to the doctor/patient relationship by asking if there was anything else we wished to discuss towards the end of our appointment. He developed a game plan and explained each component of it. We never felt like he was rushing to get out of the room to another patient. Our experience with Dr. Sandhu and the California Cardiovascular Institute reminded my husband and myself of what medicine or visiting the doctor used to be, relationship based. ☺️

I’ve taken my dad here for almost a year. The Drs are top notch. He has seen 3 Drs for different issues, issues that his previous cardiologist over-looked for at least 5 years. I feel like the office staff can make or break a drs office. This office has amazing, happy staff. They must treat them well because the front staff always greets us with a smile & while my dad has had a rough bout lately they know we need a wheelchair & had it waiting for us when I arrived for his appt. The back staff doesn’t disappoint either-they have been extremely patient & caring with my dad while we searched for answers. Last week was particularly rough… for both my dad & I & it made his week to see all the decorations for Christmas. It didnt look cheap or minimal… it was over the top & well planned out. My dad loved it! He looked like an 8 yr old on Christmas morning as he looked at each area in amazement. Thank you for bringing a little happiness to our Dr visits!

My first time there and it was a great visit. Everyone I encountered was kind and helpful.

Very pleased with doctor and staff. Caring and professional. Explained my surgery. Prevented a major heart attack.

As a 67-year-old man who has dealt with more than my share of medical issues over the years, I have been cared for by many doctors. In fact, over the last seven years alone, I have had well over 400 medical visits, procedures, appointments, and encounters covering a vast array of issues, not all heart-related. My experience with doctors, specialists, hospitals, and medical facilities is extensive. I know the medical world. I know the difference between being processed and being cared for. And I can say without hesitation that Dr. Sandhu is at the very top of my list. Dr. Sandhu is not simply my cardiologist. He is a man who has helped save my life—not once, but twice—and he continues to watch over my health with the same attention and determination today. I trust my life in his hands, and I do not say that lightly. What makes him exceptional goes far beyond his medical knowledge. He is proactive. He listens. He never talks down to you or makes you feel like you are just another appointment on the schedule. He explains what he sees, what concerns him, and what he wants to do next. Most importantly, he is supportive and encouraging. His goal is not simply to treat disease; he continually pushes toward helping me live a longer, healthier, better-quality life. When something needs further investigation, he investigates it. When something can be prevented, he gets ahead of it. And through all of it, you know there is a human being on the other side of that white coat who truly cares about the person sitting in front of him. Over the years, I have also referred friends and family to Dr. Sandhu, and I have watched him extend that same level of care to them. He has supported many people I love and has done some remarkable things for them as well. That has only deepened my respect for him, because I know the care I receive is not an exception—it is simply who he is and how he practices medicine. I also want to recognize his entire staff and everyone who supports him. The level of care starts with Dr. Sandhu, but it clearly extends through the whole team. From the front office to the medical staff behind the scenes, I have always felt supported, treated with respect, and cared for by people who understand that good medicine is not just about tests and procedures—it is also about how you treat people. His care, along with the support of his team, has not only helped save my life, it has significantly improved the quality of the life I still get to live. After hundreds of medical encounters, I have learned that great doctors are rare. Dr. Sandhu is one of them. He is an outstanding physician, an exceptional human being, and he is surrounded by a staff that reflects that same level of professionalism and care. I am deeply grateful for all of them and for the continued pursuit of excellence they bring to this community. Thank you, Dr. Sandhu, and thank you to your entire team. I am blessed to have all of you in my corner. G. Marchand

Daniel is very knowledgeable on this field and was very friendly and helpful. He started my appointment off with compassion and an interest in my care. He then transferred my care to Dr. Javed who is also very thorough and kind in his communications. Thank you both for making me feel seen and heard. My family, children and myself all appreciate you so much!! God bless.

I am extremely impressed with the group and especially with my current Dr. Gade. He is personable and seems to have an excellent recall of my heart health over these few years since we lost Dr. Valles. His entire staff is extremely efficient but not stressed. I highly recommend Dr. Gade and the Group and look forward to the opening of the new facility a little closer to home.

My appointments are always on time or within a few minutes of the scheduled time. Everyone is friendly and professional. I feel I am under excellent care for heart-related treatments and observation. I would definitely recommend the Heart Group to anyone looking for support in this space.

Flavio is an outstanding NP and an absolute pleasure to work with. He truly takes the time to listen and have genuine conversations, making you feel heard and cared for. I never have to wait long to get in, and his expertise in cardiovascular care has been invaluable for my heart health. He’s not only knowledgeable but also a wonderful person who makes every visit a positive experience. Highly recommend!»

The Heart Group was responsive and the Doctors and Staff are great. They listened to my issues, made appropriate recommendations, scheduled test and follow-up. Dr. Rathi is outstanding – Patient and thorough.

The facility was clean, and the office itself was pleasant. My biggest concern was the wait. I spent approximately an hour and a half waiting to see the doctor. I understand that delays happen, and I don’t expect every appointment to run exactly on schedule. In fact, I can be very understanding of a long wait if it means the physician is taking the time to thoroughly care for each patient. Unfortunately, that wasn’t my experience. After waiting so long, my appointment felt very rushed. The doctor briefly reviewed my records, explained the testing she wanted to order, and the visit was essentially over. I left feeling like my concerns weren’t really discussed or addressed, and because everything was explained so quickly, it was difficult to follow. The front desk staff were professional, but the interactions felt somewhat impersonal. A warmer, more welcoming approach would improve the overall experience. Overall, I don’t question the doctor’s medical knowledge, but the experience was disappointing. If patients are asked to wait well over an hour, it’s reasonable to expect that they’ll receive the same thoughtful, unhurried attention that presumably caused the delay in the first place. If significant delays are anticipated, notifying patients ahead of time and allowing them to arrive later would also demonstrate greater respect for their time.

I am very happy with my Dr., Dr Gade, he is very nice and caring. I feel confident with his care. He is a Excellent Doctor. He’s helped me extremely and I would refer him to anyone, Very Professional. His Staff is very kind and Professional As well. I Wouldn’t go to anyone else. If anyone needs a Cardiologist, Dr. Gade is the one. I highly recommend him.

What a wonderful doctor and what a wonderful office! Everyone is incredibly kind and welcoming, smiling, and just genuinely caring. Dr Emrani Is a very special doctor. He came highly recommended to me and now I can see why. He puts a lot of love into his work. He cares. Don’t waste your time with anyone else! He’s the best.

I had a beautiful experience here! The PA listened thoroughly and was patient around my concerns, all of the staff I encountered were uplifting and positive. Dr Emrani was just lovely, he puts a lot of care into the patients and the work and gave me exactly what I needed. Can’t recommend this clinic enough!

I usually have «white coat syndrome» and feel anxious at doctor’s appointments, but not here! Everyone in the office–from the front desk staff to the nurses, and especially Dr. Emrani–is exceptionally kind, welcoming, and compassionate. They truly make you feel comfortable and at ease from the moment you walk in. Dr. Emrani takes the time to listen, asks and answers questions, and creates a calm, reassuring environment. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for excellent care and a genuinely caring team.

Staff is kind , competent and really tries to put your mind at ease. I was very nervous and couldn’t have been in better hands. I respect Dr. Emrani’s approach. He seems to consider the whole picture when assessing his patients. I felt that he was looking out for my best interests and I really appreciate it.

The kindness and professionalism of the entire staff Is off the charts! Traveling to the Heart Center from Central Coast was so over and beyond worth the effort and we would do it again in a heartbeat!!! And we plan to continue to do so for this quality of care. Dr. Emrani, a true Renaissance Man, is a heart doctor with a ❤️.

Loved how responsive both doctor and the office was. We were able to get an appointment quickly and doctor did a thourough check for my son. So happy with the attention to detail and accommodation. Dr has great bedside manner and gave my son great information and advice. Thank You!

From the moment you walk into Dr. Emrani’s office, you feel not only welcome but an immediate sense of confidence about the level of care you are about to receive. The office is run efficiently; there is no waiting, and the staff are friendly and professional. Dr. Emrani projects compassion and empathy, which is wonderful quality in a physician, particularly one of his experience. Very grateful to be his patient.

Every time Dr. Javed evaluates me, I am calmed just by his presence. He is the most thorough heart Doctor that I have ever seen. Dr. Javed sincerely cares about your well-being and you can feel it in his calm and confident posture. Dr. Javed listens and never interrupts when you ask a question. He lets you finish your question then thoroughly answers it. I appreciate that very much. I hope he remains to be my heart Doctor for many years to come.

Had a great first visit with Dr. Javed! My appointment went smoothly, staff took care of capturing vitals and documents I brought with me from recent tests. Dr Javed greetly me warmly and was very personable as he discussed my history, previous tests and a plan to further assess my condition for any potential treatment needs. Front desk staff were great in accommodating my schedule for the new tests. It was a very positive visit and I left feeling comfortable with next steps.

Dr Javed is very knowledgeable in his field of expertice. He is accomodating, kind, loving and honest to his patients. He explains the disease process, test results and procedure that needs to be done and the plan of care. He has done good care to me and my family. I greatly recommend Dr Javed to others who needs a good cardiologist.

I greatly appreciate Dr. Javed’s medical expertise, diligence, and professional demeanor. He is thorough and proactive in managing my health needs. During our first meeting, we discussed my medical history, and it was clear that he had taken the time to carefully review my records and ask thoughtful questions to better understand my background. He even explained details about my condition that I had not previously known. As we have continued with follow-up appointments, I have seen him dig deeper into areas of concern and address them with a proactive plan. In addition he brings a welcome sense of humor to his work, which helps make the experience more comfortable. I strongly recommend Dr. Javid.

Without a doubt, Dr. Javed sets the upstanding standards for his office. He is so kind, willing to always listen & takes whatever time is needed to make sure his patients questions are answered. From the Front Office staff to all of Back office staff, are exceptionally friendly & patient.

Dr Weiss and his staff were amazing! He is so down to earth and cool. I love how he treats you like a normal person and explains to you what his plan is while he explains the procedures in depth. The connection with his employees shows that he cares not only for them but me as a patient. I will be happy to return at my next scheduled appointments! He went above and beyond to make sure I understood!

This is a joke clinic its the 3rd time/day I call to schedule an appt. to see the so called cardiologist, I speak to someone very rude there with very low customer service knowledge. She tells me someone will call me 3 times and no one does. I would give them a ZERO star but cannot do so, what a total incompetent place this is.🤨🤨

Dr. Weiss & his staff are all caring & polite I never feel rushed to get in & out . All my questions are always answered in a way I can understand & always given additional info that I wasn’t aware of & was helpful. Appointments are easy to get only down side is the parking , you have to pay unfortunately good thing is they validate a portion of it which I appreciate.

I had a great experience! The wait time was minimal, and the nurses and doctor were very attentive. I appreciated the doctor’s clear explanations, and the customer service team was helpful in setting appointments and providing relevant information to prepare me for my next visit. Thank you for the excellent care!

I experienced one of the nicest and most efficient medical office visits in many years. The support staff and Dr. Farahi were exemplary in their delivery of patient care. Although their offices are a 30+ minute drive for me, it is well worth the time to reach them due to their exceptional care. The reception desk, the nurses I encountered and Dr. Fahari himself made me comfortable and at ease. I am very grateful I was given this office as a referral.

The good doctor was straight forward, to the point and very direct… I do feel he could stand to spend a LOT more time actually talking to his patient(s) to ascertain exactly what their symptoms are and are NOT, regardless of what their stats may or may NOT be. Word to the wise, although a patients test results may seem chronic and/or critical, if they are living for decades asymptomatically, the doctor should at least LISTEN to how they’re able to remain so without successfully without man man synthetic medications! This is far better than telling the patient; «IF YOU DON’T GET ON THESE MAN-MADE SYNTHETIC MEDS, YOU’RE GONNA STROKE OUT AND DIE!!!!» No beuno.

Best cardiologist and best team . Caring and excellence. Dr Farahi saw me for my cholesterol concerns. He truly cared. His team was gentle and caring too. Vanessa was also amazing . The nurse who took blood was amazing , she got it right away. Thank you all for being so good.

Dr. Azmoon has made a tremendous difference in my life. After adjusting my medications, I have much more energy and feel better than I have in years. He is patient, caring, and takes the time to explain everything in a way that’s easy to understand. I always feel heard, respected, and genuinely cared for. I am grateful to have Dr. Azmoon on my healthcare team and highly recommend him.

Dr. Azmoon, is very knowledgeable cardiovascular MD. He takes the time to explain your lab work and lets you know what going on with your body. His staff makes you feel comfortable if any inhouse test needs to be be done. Doing my follow-up appointment test were reviewed and medication adjusted. Feeling better and getting healthy I recommend Dr. Azmoon if you want a heather lifestyle. Donna Smith July 20,2026

Dr. Shah Azmoon is extremely thorough. Dr. Shah Azmoon provided direct medical care to meet the specifics of my cardiovascular health. In addition, Dr. Shah Azmoon’s care also provided solutions to indirect medical needs that provide a level of enternal health that meets my overall and longterm health goals. I absolutely left better in overall health than before our visit. I THANK GOD FOR DR. SHAH AZMOON and his staff. My overall experience is rated a 5/5 Stars. Excellent!!!

I love this place. i’ve gone the last year several times. I have horrible crippling health anxiety.and I wanted to go with the best doctor and the reviews are right. the staff have been nothing but nice. I literally just want to cry on how thankful I am for how awesome everyone has been. Dr. Azmoon really has amazing bed side manners. he gets to the point and explains everything perfectly. whenever I would say «well what if I have this and this» he will go into detail on why not and he actually shows me my results and if i’m super considered about he guides me perfectly. as someone who lives with health anxiety he truly is a dream come true. & he knows his stuff. he truly takes his time with his patients. and even when I went to the san antonio ER they asked me who my cardiologist was , the provider who was seeing my me was lik oh wow yeah dr. azmoon is great . again I have a lot of experiences with doctors because i’m constantly going to them & THIS right here is truly an amazing doctor and his staff is so sweet. and even though sometimes he falls a little behind it’s because hes taking his time with all his patience. & that to me is worth waiting for.

We are very happy with the doctor and staff. It’s far beyond our expectations based on our past experience at various doctor’s offices. We highly recommend this place for high quality cardiologist care.

DR. AZMOON IS A VERY GOOD DOCTOR HE TAKES THE TIME TO LISTEN TO UR NEEDS, CARING N PROFESSIONAL. HIS STAFF IS HELFUL N FRIENDLY AS WELL THANK YOU FOR EVERY THING THEY DO. THANK YOU DR. AZMOON GOD BLESS YOU.

Today I visited California Institute of Cardiovascular Health in Rancho Cucamonga. The heart specialist, Dr. Azmoon. From the moment I walked in with my wife, the staff was warm, professional, and very organized. The doctor was very patient with me and took time to listen to all my concerns, explained everything clearly, and made sure I understood my condition and treatment options. Their expertise and patience truly stood out. I felt comfortable, well-informed, and confident in the care I was receiving. The follow-up guidance was also very helpful. I highly recommend this heart specialist to anyone who is looking for good care.

I have been going to Dr Leo Kassabian for years and he’s an excellent doctor. He is very knowledgeable, kind and listens to his patients questions. He has an excellent staff and they are very nice and helpful.

Dr. Kassabian is extremely professional, and presented me with all my options after reviewing my history and my family history. He explained his decisions really well. His assistant helped me with my scheduling of treatments and both patiently answered any questions I had. It was an excellent experience!

Dr Kassabian is wonderful. He has been very frank with me and very thorough. He has helped me make better decidions about my exercise regiment and food choices. The staff at his office in Encino are wonderful.

Dr. Kassabian is one of the most outstanding medical professionals i have encountered and I have seen many. Upbeat, cordial and very professional, he sincerely cares about his patients. Dr. Kassabian is extremely knowledgeable and thorough and encourages his patients to incorporate the healthy practices he shares while taking the time to listen to questions.

This was my first visit for a preventative cardiology consult. Dr Kassabian is knowledgeable and an excellent communicator. He discussed and presented a solid plan moving forward. Will definitely continue seeing him:

I have had a wonderful experience with Dr. Dave and his staff for almost a year now. Dr. Dave takes time to listen to me and asks if I have any questions. Today I had a follow up with John. What a nice man. He went over results with me. He’s very thorough and also asks if I have any questions. I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Cabrillo Cardiology. I’m in very good hands with them.

I so enjoy talking to Danae. She’s very knowledgeable , professional and engaging. She always listens to my concerns and has answers. I’m always happy when i learn that she’s the person i will be talking to. I can’t say enough about her qualities…definitely top notch in all areas

The Cardiologist and staff were awesome. I was a little frustrated having to fill out paperwork at the appointment when most of that information could have been sent ahead of time with the confirmation email. It would’ve been much easier and faster to complete digitally before arriving, instead of filling it out by hand in the office. I think offering that option would make the process smoother for patients.

Pleasant and effective office. Front desk support was very helpful. We needed support to have a lab order sent to another lab provider. The office was very efficient. We love Dr. R and the comprehensive care he provides. He is approachable and thorough. Thank you!

My appointment with Dr. Schmidt went very well. He is extremely vested in his patients and how we’re doing. I fully believe that if Dr. Schmidt had not been my Doctor years ago I would not be here today.

I had a telehealth appointment and she NEVER called, My previous appointment was changed 2 days before the time I had for several months because she went on vacation. She knew her vacation was coming up, she could have changed the appointment weeks earlier. I set up my week and changes affect other things. She seems like a good doctor, bur her punctuality habits are sloppy.

Dr Obed saw me at the St Johns Hospital ER and diagnosed me with severe artery blockage, and then inserted a stent to relieve the blockage. Dr Obed has great bedside manner and is very well respected by all of the hospital staff. I am doing much better now after the procedure and feel very grateful for Dr Obed’s care.

I have run into so many issues with this office. They are known for lack of communication. Be warned if you have a scheduled appointment they will most likely cancel or reschedule it with little to no notice. Just happened to me today. Oh and be warned you will ne seeing nurse practitioners most of the time for your appointments. Rarely will you actually speak to the cardiologist in person. He does things more from the side lines. Maybe for efficiency. Be warned the office staff has the potential to lose your paperwork so bring copies. Also make sure you double check they actually put any documents into your files. I had gave them a release form for my PCP. I handed it to the office lady and it was lost. It ended up delaying treatments and testing. Triple check they put in your scheduled appointment in the system. One of the staff never put my appointment on schedule. I went to the office and could not be seen. I wasted gas and time. Nurse practitioners will resign immediately. Be prepared for inconsistent communication or communication breakdowns due to rotating nurse practitioners. Be your own advicate and hold the staff accountable.

Dr Kruegers office is a very organized with apleasant staff. Within an hour I was in and out including aa ultrasound which was unexpected but it saved time. Otherwise it would require another appiontment which I appreciated the availability on such a short notice.I truly appreciate the Dr and his staff for being proactive with my heart.

Dr. Krueger and his medical team have always been very friendly and professional. Of the various procedures and tests I’ve had done, my questions were answered, and worries calmed. In his office, there is the most interesting picture behind the front office. Very appropriate for cardiologist.

Dr Krueger is an excellent doctor. He’s patient, very knowledgeable, kind and truly cares for his patients. The office manager is great also, handles problems asap if one arises. He’s also patient and kind. Most office staff great with a bed side manner but a few aren’t. Some of the medical assistants don’t look at patients records very well to see info. And they don’t return a call, some need a bit more training. Overall awesome .

This man nearly killed me and another patient of his this past week. Both of us saw him within the last 30 days, and he made decisions that landed us both in the hospital with heart attacks. He cold turkied me off of 2 of my heart meds, only weeks before, because my heart rate was a little low! I should have listened to that voice in my gut, telling me that didn’t feel right, but I did as told. He doesn’t go to the hospital. He doesn’t care. All he cares about is his extensive wardrobe and original Disney artwork. I didn’t even know my heart was not ok. No one in that office said anything. I was just released last night, after a week stay. I never saw or heard from him once. The hospital informed me that he doesn’t do hospitals. I will add all documents and receipts when I get better. DO NOT GO TO THIS DOCTOR IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIFE!!

I’m a returning patient of dr. Kruegers from years ago after insurance had made me use another cardiologist for awhile I was able to be referred back to dr. Krueger thankfully because I feel most comfortable and at ease with him and his staff….I get really anxious going to doctors sometimes and his office is where I feel most comfortable going for cardiac health

For years, I was a patient and constantly went in for chest pain and shortness of breath, always to be told for the most part I was fine. I went to a new cardiologist and had a calcium score that was 311. I was told the high score was likely the reason for my shortness of breath. Additionally, he said he was glad it was caught now, as in another four years I likely would have had a major event.
