Dr. Akash Makkar, MD

I had PVCs for several years and they continued to worsen, seemingly unaffected by medication. I had to give up many activities and my quality of life the last year suffered greatly. I was referred to Dr. Makkar, and he performed two ablation procedures, the second of which was a long difficult procedure because my problem was in a very difficult part of the heart to reach. He really went the extra mile in my case. It has been a month since the last ablation and I feel great. No PVCs, and I am back to long walks, hiking, and making travel plans. Dr. Makkar was a true blessing.

Dr Makkar is an excellent heart specialist. He performed 3 procedures on me to control my extremely irregular heart beat. All of them very well.

One of the best doctors I have ever been treated by! Dr Makkar is kind, gentle, responsive, patient, and thorough. I had a bivalve ICD implanted and feel like a new person, thanks to my team that included Dr Makkar, Dr Moe, and Dr Memon.

I was referred to Dr. Makkar by Dr. Vijay at Abrazo Heart Hospital in Phoenix Arizona. My husband and I were immediately impressed with the simple explanations given to us by Dr. Makkar of what was needed to address my AFIB heart issues. Hospital appointments were arranged by Dr. Makkar's staff and went smoothly. Whenever I had questions Nurse Practitioner Gina was always prompt in getting back to me in a timely manner. Dr. Makkar is truly gifted in his specialty and due to his skills and the talented people who assist him during surgery and afterward, my therapy went extremely well and I recovered quickly. I highly recommend Dr. Makkar to anyone needing heart related care and treatment that he specializes in providing. Carol Kish aka Wagner

Before then I worried all of the time. I look forward to my office visits. Everyone at Arizona Heart Arrhythmia Associates makes me feel welcome and safe. Dr. Makkar is extremely competent. I feel lucky to have him as my Electrophysiologist. I have only positive thoughts about Dr. Makkar and everyone who works with him at Arizona Heart Arrhythmia Associates. They are all good to me.

This dr along with Jayna Sumiko are absolutely amazing!

I've been seeing Dr Makkar for several years now and I absolutely love him. He definitely shows that your health is top priority. He is caring and I wouldn't go to any other cardiologist. I have referred all my friends and family to him.

AFib was not responding to medications....my heart specialist sent me to see Dr. Makkar to get information about an ablation to control my afib. Entire staff is very knowledgeable about the care I needed. Dr. Makkar made me very comfortable and told me exactly what he would do in surgery. I am very glad I had the procedure. Dr. Makkar and his staff were always there for any assistance I needed afterwards. Excellent doctor and staff.

Dr.Makkar ensures that his patients are calm and cared for in a compassionate manner before and after the procedure.
