Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The best cardiologist in Lubbock!
Dr. Otahbachi has been my cardiologist since 2013!! When other cardiologist's have seen me either no comprehensive solution is found or I end up hurt by their treatment! Dr. Otahbachi has a wonderful bedside manner and from now on unless I'm in the midst of an extreme emergency I will reject any treatment from any cardiologist but him.

No Recommendation For Dr. Otahbachi.
I won't be seeing Dr. Otahbachi again. He seems to be sort of snobbish and disinterested in what I had to say. Communication is lacking.

RUDE AND DISMISSIVE
This doctor was extremely dismissive about my mothers issues. He told her he would order tests but once ordered he did not want to hear anything else about her problems. He even saw her previously and he was still rude about things and told her to just go to her doctor and it wasn't a her attack.

I really like Dr.Otahbachi and his team. They found my problem quickly and fixed it before I had a major problem. He is a great Dr. My aunt also goes to him and really likes him. In fact she recommended him to me and I’m glad she did.

I had a heart attack in my home at about 5:am called 911, the ambulance arrived in about 10 min later. I don't remember much after I opened the door except one EMT hooking electrodes to my chest and the other on standing straddle of me with two paddles in her hands. The next thing I remember was calling my daughter at 7:30 am telling her that I had 2 stents and was feeling fine. Dr Otahbachi will be the first one I call if I ever have heart problems again.

We changed over to Dr. Otahbachi when Dr. Shoukfeh retired. We are extremely satisfied with Dr. Otahbachi's care. He put a second stent in my widow maker in 2019, and recently put in a new aortic valve using the TAVR procedure due to aortic stenosis. He explained this procedure very well and answered all our questions before and after the procedure. Dr. Otahbachi not only extended my life with these procedures, but gave me a better quality life.

Dr Otahbachi is responsible for my new lease on life. I was diagnosed with chronic heart failure and aortic stenosis and when my condition began to deteriorate, Dr Otahbachi provided me with a way forward with a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). He explained everything in detail and answered all our questions. The procedure was flawless and recovery quick. When I meet with Dr Otahbachi he is interested in me as a whole person, not just my medical situation. He is extremely personable, extremely knowledgeable and a Good Guy!

It’s been four years since I had my bypass surgery and once again Doctor Odahbachi and his staff showed their care about their patients. This care and concern has been above and beyond since day one. Because of that and their abilities I have been able to live long enough to be apart of very special family events that one should never miss out on. All I can say which I feel is not enough is Thank You so much for the extended life that y’all have given be. I will tell anyone out there if your journey is just starting you are in very good hands.

After 4 visits to the er in 6 months the VA assign me to Dr Sara Mankin. Upon my first appointment and reviewing my medical history she referred me to Dr Otahbachi. After reviewing my medical history Dr. O scheduled me for an angiogram. Turns out I had a widow maker... LDA 90% blocked. These two by the grace of God literally saved my life.
