Personable and compassionate, this procedure has always been one that I dreaded; however, after he sit down and spent time talking to me about where I am in life I am looking forward to honest feedback. He and his nurse had such a genuine spirit.

I met Dr. Basu today and I was impressed with the way he treats the patients, he is an amazing person, professional and human being. He makes you feel comfortable, spends time with you explaining everything you need to know and answering your questions. Looking forward to meeting more professionals like him, he elevates the patient-doctor relationship to the next level.

I had what could have been a serious problem arise and was given an appointment immediately. My regular Dr. was out of town so I saw Dr. Basu. I was so impressed by his knowledge, professionalism, bedside manner and apparant genuine concern for my problem. He was extremely easy to talk to. Dr. Basu is such an asset to this incredible group of cardiologist. It was a real pleasure meeting his nurse who displayed alot of the same qualities as Dr. Basu. The whole experience was great. Bt the way, Dr. Basu was able to put my mind at ease with the good news that I was ok. Thank you very much for making it a pleasant experience.
