I met dr Aplolinar. She took extremely good care of me and I was lucky enough that she had private practice. She is never too busy for me. You don’t get a dr. like that every day

I went to visit Dr. Estela Apolinar at the Sun State Cardiology Gilbert office. She is fabulous! She's personable, caring and highly knowledgeable in her field. All the staff in the office were friendly and helpful. If you are searching for a cardiologist, look no further. Dr. Apolinar is the best!!!

Dr. Apolinar treated my husband when he was in the hospital. We immediately wanted to transfer toher practice but couldn't because if he affiliation with our current cardiologist. I recently noticed that she had opened her own practice and I immediately made an appointment. She reviewed all my information with me, asked questions about things on and off the paper and was genuinely concerned about me and happy to have me as a patient. I was on Cloud 9 when I left there.

Loved Dr Apolinar went to her until she branched off on her own and no longer took out insurance. Wish I could go to her again.

I have had serious heart issues for 10 years including 2 open heart surgeries in another state. Upon moving to AZ I went to Dr Apolinar. She spent a lot of time reviewing my records and just talking to me about my history. I was very impressed with the time she took to get to know me and lay out a plan to follow my case moving forward. The negative review seemed to be from a patient who takes no personal responsibility for his own health. It is hard for any physician to work with patients who don't listen or follow their recommendations. I am very pleased.
