East Bay Cardiovascular & Thoracic Associates

Dr. Veeragandham is one of the finest doctors I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. When I started having mitral valve issues, the cardiologist just kept watching the problem. When it became necessary for open heart surgery, I was very scared. And then I met Dr. Veeragandham. He spent about 45 minutes with my husband and I explaining what was the problem and showing us the issue on the echo and then explained and wrote down all of the tests I would need to complete prior to surgery. It was a lot of work getting ready for the surgery, but I really appreciated how thorough he and his staff were with me. I knew that morning that he did the surgery that I was ready.

If god forbid you are in need of vascular, cardiac or thoracic surgery this is the place to go to! This group of surgeons are the most caring and knowledgeable group I have EVER seen! They take care of every patient like they are their own family members. They spend so much time explaining the procedure, following up and keeping the family informed during the entire process. Having heart issues run in my family, I can't even say how at ease I am to have such a great cardiac surgeon group minutes away. I would never let my family go anywhere else! I have seen them first hand work miracles and rescue many lives! We are so lucky to have this team!!!

Don't worry that the amount of stars is low, but instead pay attention to the high ratings. This group saved my life. Dr Dharan and his team performed a long and life saving surgery on me and the words "Thank You" just aren't enough. Trust me, this are the doctors you want behind you when you're dealing with your heart.
