Dr. Ravilla Lakshmipathy Mahidhar, MD

Very thorough and never rushed with answers. Very pleased with care I got. Planning to transfer my wife’s care to him as well.

Dr. Mahidhar was my cardiologist at a particularly frustrating and possible dangerous time for me. I had had a mitrl valve replacement elsewhere 15 years earlier, but my symptoms had returned with a vengeance - water retention, struggling to breathe and inability to exercise were becoming critical. Dr. Mahidhar set me on the right path to replacing the now failing replacement valve and hooked me up with a great surgeon to do the valve re-replacement. He kept me going both physically and with moral support until such time as I could have the surgery. The results are awesome. I am so appreciative of his knowledge and efforts and also the whole staff there at WWMG. I would recommend Dr. Mahidhar in a heartbeat (pun intended) to anyone who suffers and struggles with severe heart issues. He was instrumental in helping me get back to good health and a good future, and he has a great bedside manner.

Dr. Mahidhar is an extremely competent and focused doctor. That is just what I was looking for. I needed two stints and a heart valve replacement and he took great care in explaining what I needed and then in performing the surgery. I would recommend him to anyone needing similar treatment and I would go to him again with no hesitation.

Dr. Mahidhar performed a life saving valve replacement for my father. My father was in a critical condition when first seen by Dr. Mahidhar. He explained the whole process very patiently and was very kind throughout. Thanks to him, my dad has fully recovered and enjoying his life.

Barely spoke to me. Just basically walked in and told me what to do. I tried to ask questions and I couldn't tell if he was blowing me off or didn't know the answer. I don't have a lot of confidence in him and will be looking for a new cardiologist.

I have a long cardiac history and was getting a checkup on a valve that I hadn’t had tests on in years. Dr. Mahidar was kind and asked good questions about my health and what my symptoms were. But after an echo and holter monitor he left no notes on what was actually going on. It was impossible to get a follow up appointment. Couldn’t reach him personally to go over my tests. His notes were very vague and left me with no information. I am very dissatisfied with my experience altogether and will be seeking a second opinion.

Dr. Mahidhar was my first visit.I came away knowing he was going to help me He also explained my condition in detail.He was so nice and easy to talk to.
