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.
Great cardiologist!

Dr. Surakanti explained the results of the heart catherization very clearly to the family. He was patient with answering all of our questions and did not rush us at any time. The results were a shock since my husband had no prior history of heart disease. Dr. Surakanti helped us through the shock and onto the next step.
