I asked Dr. Fardad Esmalian what was my chances of requiring heart surgery. He stated my results from the past decade hasn't changed. I am good & do not require surgery.

Dr. Esmailian came into our lives like an angel and a superhero at a moment's notice and saved my father's life. I have never been around a more knowledgeable, confident and reassuring doctor in my life and I owe our family's current happiness and stability to the excellent care he took of my dad. Dr. Esmailian is known to take on the most challenging of heart procedures, and despite my dad having a complex quad heart bypass surgery about a week ago, he is now home comfortable and we here all have tears of joy. I am forever grateful to Dr. Esmailian and his wonderful team.

Dr. Esmailian performed open heart surgery on my wife. She never improved after the surgery, had a leaking valve, water in her lungs, and generally weak and fatigued. We could not understand these symptoms and no matter how hard we tried we could not get an appointment with the Doctor. I would definitely not recommend him.

I would highly recommend him. He is very detailed and followed up with me after surgery. Also he sewed in my stitches over my sternum and I have no visible scar. I was back to work in 6 months after surgery.
