Dr. Venkataramana Devineni, MD

Dr D was my husband’s cardiologist for 18 years. We trusted him completely and he never let us down. Even the rest of the staff is great.

Is one of the owners of alliance Medical Group (HMO) He totally missed multiple heart problems that my current cardiologist says I’ve had for 15 years. Also was put on beta blockers I am a PC told Dr. the HMO made me have allergy shots at his wife’s office but even when I had a reaction to the shot was not told me to not take beta blockers for 24 hours before shot and 12 hours after allergy shot. I could’ve had a heart attack. I was told by a couple of my current doctors because I was not being treated for any heart problems for 15 years my heart was like a time bomb ready to go off and not being monitored at all.

Since leaving my previous review, I have received an itemized statement showing what amount Medicare covered and what my remaining balance was. Medicare was billed and paid for a test that was not done. I AM going to report this to Medicare as this IS fraud. I'm not surprised though, if he didn't listen to a 1st time patients heart after being shown a copy of a very recent EKG nothing should. My GP said "ummm, I think you need a 2nd opinion" then winked. Patients considering BEWARE.

Knowledgeable, personable, always available. Dr. Devineni takes his time to get to know his patients. He caught a condition that had been misdiagnosed by other doctors for almost 20 years. As soon as he started treating me correctly, my symptoms lessoned or disappeared. I thoroughly trust Dr. Devineni and highly recommend him.

I've been going to Devineni since 2008. He was there when I needed a pacemaker. He's very caring and his bedside manner is wonderful. He will refer you out to someone if your medical condition falls outside his expertise. His staff Theresa is wonderful. She will stay on top of getting precerts and schedule procedures. The rest of the staff needs more training on scheduling and how to treat patients.

Thorough, listens, best Cardiologist in the High Desert! Had to leave his care for we moved from area.
