Cardiac Electrophysiologist - Mesa, AZ

"my husband has been with Dr. Kolli for several years. He is always kind and ready to listen to the Wife since my husband suffers from Dementia. He explains the best course of treatment very clearly and I'm greatful for having him."

"I called to schedule a new patient visit and was sent to an answering machine. Seriously? Clearly, they are too busy to schedule me, probably too busy to care for me too. "

"First, Dr. Chan, is very nice, I would say that personally I liked him a lot. I believe that he is knowledgeable and proficient cardiologist. However, with that being said, I waited for nearly 2 hours to see him my very first appointment. When I followed up, I thought I will not sit there if I am one of the first patients to be seen, and, I will see whoever can see me. My appointment was 0915, I sat for another hour and forty-five minutes. Beyond that, there where test that they wanted done but never said that I needed to go to an outside lab for the blood work. Full disclosure, I am a nurse and I know there can be miss communication and running late due to emergencies. Between the extreme disregard for my time, and the professionalism of the staff, I will not return to him. I somehow feel that I am not the first patient to have issues with these problems. "

"I was admitted to the hospital with a third degree heart block and my case was assigned to Dr. Garg. It appeared he did a great job on the pacemaker surgery and I was released from the hospital the next day. Two days later I collapse and call Dr. Garg to ask him to check my pacemaker since it continually reports my heart beat and what it’s doing in response to his office via my phone. He says “some people just get dizzy but if you’re concerned we can talk at your follow up appointment”. My symptoms get worse and worse and by the time of my post surgery appointment I am so dizzy I can’t even walk from the car to his office without help from my friend. I clearly don’t look good and I beg him to check the pacemaker. He looks at it for less than 2 minutes tells me “well the pacemaker is beating so you should be fine. Drink more water” and sends me home with a follow up appointment 4 months later. My condition gets worse and worse and after calling him two more times and being dismissed I end up in the ER just two weeks after getting my pacemaker for chest pain and difficulty breathing. 6 weeks later after two more visits to the ER for symptoms I end up in the hospital for signs of stroke. There I finally get a cardiologist to look at the pacemaker programming and he figures out Dr. Garg programmed it with the wrong diagnosis which is why the ER couldn’t find a problem with it. I don’t know if he mixed me up with another patient or was just confused but the bad programming nearly gave me a stroke. I’m not upset Dr. Garg made a mistake, he’s human and it happens but he dismissed my concerns and calls 4 times and it nearly killed me. The entire vibe I got from him is he thinks he knows everything and he won’t listen if he thinks your being dramatic. Be careful getting care from Dr. Garg and always get another opinion."
