Doesn't seem to know much of anything g other than HOPING you agree to have SX, doesn’t give a proper diagnosis it’s a I don’t know, no it’s not or it could be! Rude and definitely not caring! Doesn’t answer questions direct and doesn’t give much information to make things clear and her NP is hard and cold, definitely doesn’t belong in healthcare! Very unprofessional behavior, no bedside manners whatsoever!!!!!

Completely a mess. High Risk Doctor. Whatever she claims to be doing today. Cardiologist, radiology in Tampa, and by now she probably does dental and and works on cars that are at the practice, anything to milk Medicare your insurance and your life's at stake.

The VERY BEST doctor I have EVER had in my 60+ years on earth. She is brilliant, extremely competent, compassionate and caring, dedicated, with every fiber of her body, to the patient and to perfection of cardiac-bypass surgery, and immensely successful. One could not find a more perfect doctor!!!

Just can't say enough good things. A minor procedure (she does mostly major stuff) gets treated like it is important.

Dr. Gharai knows everything about thoracic and heart surgery. She made a triple bypass a very easy surgery for me. She is so very caring and takes so much time with you explaining everything she will do. She actually makes you relaxed because you know she is the very best at what she does. Thank you more than you know Dr. Gharai we miss youð??¥

I went to Dr Gharai because my left Carotid artery was closed up at around 80 to 85 percent. My right side is completely closed off and nothing more can be done after the last surgery I had done by a different surgeon which I did not want to go back to. Having this left side Carotid taken care of is a very critical surgery to have done. I went to her office and she explained the procedure to me in detail on how she was going to do it from beginning to end. After meeting with her and talking with her and the knowledge that she has, I knew I had the right surgeon to do the surgery.
