    I was very disappointed with my provider and it was about how fast the doctor could explain and move on . Never have I been treated that way before and like most of the doctors they sure want to point out weight yet give no ideas or anything to get slimmed down it seems to be a norm more and more.and also how fast the doctor can talk to and move on to the next person.Cant say I would recommend any body or anything and you wait for so long yet spend very little time really explaining things to you and next and for the doctor to tell me what was going on so very fast and left me trying to understand everything and tell me to look on my chart for any answers.

    I have been a patient of Dr Maholtra for 6 years. My insurance doesn't work multi-care, I am paying out of pocket to stay with Dr Maholtra, I use my medical insurance for testing and all other issues but send the results to Dr Maholtra. Totally trust and respect Dr Maholtra

    Dr Malhotra is the best. Makes you feel very at ease, he listens answered my questions. Very happy to have him as my cardiologist. I did not rate proposed treatment because it was to keep doing what was previously decided in a past appointment.

    My prior visits with my cardiologist have been very short, but my stay in the hospital for congestive heart failure showed I am in need of more care and this was the longest he actually examined me and talked to me about my condition and the changes in my medications that he was recommending.
