My father has been seeing Ram for years and because of his lack of integrity, care, and what seems to be knowledge of cardiac medical conditions, he is no longer with us. Never once in the many visits he had with my father did he discuss any concerns of the multiple cardio versions he had or the fact this could also be detrimental to this lung. While he was in the hospital Ram was notified but never followed up or contact us family members after being a patient with him for years. In fact they sent an annual appt reminder after he passed! Shame on Ram.

Dr. Challapali has treated me for 4 years. Has missed several of my scheduled appointments post surgery. His communication skills are terrible. Find another Cardiologist, I have.

I see Dr. Challapalli in Reno Nv. He's been my Doctor for 4 years.. He's very good at what he does, He listens and explains to me about my condition which is Left ventricle, non-compaction with progression a very rare condition, when ever i fell something is wrong he gets me right in and checks things out even goes as far as putting me on a heart halter and a ECG.. I have had very good results since being his patient .. Thank you very much for all you do for me

I trusted him to care for me and he failed. Another surgeon thankfully was ready and able to fix his devastating mistakes. I now have deficits and scars that are the direct result of this doctors mistakes. He never even came to see me in the 10-days (the majority being in the ICU) I was in the hospital following the major complications caused by this doctors callous and dismissive behaviors. I continue to recover at home and feel lucky to be alive. This doctor did not do the right things and did not treat me well -- at all!!!! I am forever scarred and forever fearful because of him!!

He started me with 100 mg per day, which not only zapped my energy, it made me so dizzy that I was unable to function.

There may be a few equals, but no one better than Dr. Ram Challapalli. He is a treasure to have on your side if you have a heart condition.
