Has absolutely no respect for his patients or their wishes. Snarky, arrogant and refuses to accept patient rights to guide their own treatment. Uses testing extremely excessively when there are no indicators to validate such measures. Avoids communication and cooperation with physicians in other specialties to provide relief for patients and improve overall outcomes. In short, a very sad excuse for a doctor...

Dr. Hegde did not have time to talk with me. I found another cardiologist with both the credentials and time to diagnose and develop a plan for recovery.

Liked him. Caring and knowledgeable. The only time I see him upset is when I try to play doctor...aside from that, no problems.

His approach to patient care is cold, condescending, and impersonal. He stood at the door the entire time, read the medical history, but never approached me. He did not listen to my concerns, was not helpful, and did not care that I was frightened. After one routine office visit I changed doctors immediately.
