Bassam R. Baroudi, MD

As a woman it can be difficult to know the signs of heart disease. When I became aware that there was something terribly wrong, I went to an ER in Orange Grove. They sent me home with a left bundle branch block, 90% blockage in my widow maker and the not so sound advice of lowering my caffeine intake . They didn't mention the block or bundle branch, so I went home. After weeks of extreme fatigue, shortness of breath and constant indigestion, I went to a MHG clinic. From that clinic, I learned about the actual findings stated above and was sent to the MHG ER. A wonderful team met me with great professionalism and I asked for Dr Baroudi, (I had heard he was good). Dr Baroudi saved my life. He stented the widow maker and treated me as if I was his mother. I have great respect and admiration for this man, as a physician and a person. All women who have cardiac concerns should see him, he understands that the female heart attack isn't what we have come to know regarding symptoms.

My husband was rushed by ambulance to Memorial Hospital in the wee hours of the morning. Dr Baroudi had just finished a procedure in the CATH lab and so he was able to perform the procedures needed. Dr Baroudi cleared his morning schedule to work on him as he had multiple episodes. He was checking on him throughout the day, and last left him about 11:00 that night. By 4:30 the next morning he was back checking on him. That kind of care and dedication is amazing. I truly believe Dr Baroudi is the only reason my husband is alive today some four plus years after his heart attack.

He saved my life.

When I started having problems it turned my life upside down. The entire staff at Coast Heart Institute has been welcoming, patient, and willing to answer ALL my questions! I am very happy with the service I have received from this office and trust them with my continued care to a healthier me.

Dr. Baroudi is a fantastic doctor that saved my life in 2002 and taught me what to do to stay healthy for the last 10 years. My whole family loves him and deeply appreciates what he did for me.

You can never talk to him or a nurse on the phone and getting a prescription refilled is impossible!!!!!!!!!
