Dr. Mammen Zachariah, MD

Everything went smooth.

Easy to make an appointment. Was seen quickly. Dr Zachariah took the time necessary to explain things in "laymans' terms. He was extremely thorough and I felt quite confident that I was in good hands.

Dr. Zachariah is very thorough and gets to the point. Would recommend him to one and all

Quick, Short - was not a professional consult - NO COMMENT NEEDED

I was referred to Dr Mammen Zachariah by my PCP for A Preopcardio exam. He was honest with me on what is going on and said in order for me to have the surgery I need to have a echogram and stress test. But the problem is his staff. Doctors need to understand that how their staff treats their patients reflects poorly on them. They need to hold their staff accountable. The woman in charge of sending authorization to the insurance company is very condescending and rude. When I was leaving my appointment there was a man arguing with one of the staff there. I now understand why this man was upset. Some of the staff needs to be supervised and held accountable as they giving this practice a bad reputation. I can't trust them to do their jobs in order to get this process moving forward. I now have to rely on the unreliable. They are playing with my health and I am going to report this to Board of medicine and so on.

Dr. Mammen is a kind, informative and helpful doctor! I am very pleased to have him take care of my heart.

Did not wait long to be attended. Very good staff. Dr. Zacharias nurse responded quickly and was able to reach the doctor at the hospital quickly to answer questions

Dr. Zachariah was very good to me and did great job with Cardiac Cath, diagnosis, etc. I did have a communications issue that I wanted to convey to him though, as it caused me to switch to a new Cardiologist. The situation was this...I called to get authorization for Cardiac Rehab, and the lady I spoke to, Patty, said that the requesting doctor (my surgeon) would have to request it. I then said "they told me it should come from my cardiologist, so can you Not do this", to which Patty replied, "What are we supposed to do...take up their slack?" That is NO WAY to ever speak to a patient, so I requested and was told by reception that Dr. Zachariah had been informed that I wanted to talk to him and that he'd call me. He never did; hence, I changed to a cardiologist that works in same office as my heart surgeon. I hope Dr. Zachariah will see this and address it with Patty.

Doesn't' listens enough and doesn't make enough recommendations
