My original interaction with Dr. Nanavati came in 2001, when I had begun experiencing chest pains. I was the Vice President of Instruction & Student Affairs/Deputy Superintendent at Shasta College in Redding, California. Because the work was extremely stressful, I figured the pains were from the job itself. When they lingered, I asked the Nursing faculty to recommend a cardiologist. To the person, each one said that I should go to Dr. Nanavati. At my first appointment with him, he diagnosed me with a blocked artery and said I would need heart bypass surgery, which I did. Throughout my recovery and to this day, Dr. Nanavati has been my cardiologist. My wife and I moved to Southern California in 2004, and he relocated to the San Diego area. Even given a three-hour drive from where we currently live to his office, he is the only cardiologist I go to for everything from routine checkups to surgeries and procedures. Primary among why Dr. Nanavati has been my cardiologist of choice since 2001 is that he is the consummate professional. He maintains and continuously expands his knowledge and skills to keep up with the most current cardiological advancements, all to the benefit of his patients. He readily and willingly explains my heart issues to me in terms that leave me no doubt regarding his recommendations for my care. Additionally, his personable and professional style gives me complete confidence that he genuinely cares for me as his patient. He is direct in discussing the care he recommends and equally forthright in ensuring that I know all the options and risks so that together we can make the best choices for my heart health. In addition to my heart bypass, I have had a stent implanted, a pacemaker, a Barostim device, and many heart-related tests. In all instances, Dr. Nanavati has been the cardiologist in whom I have placed my trust and confidence. His knowledge and skills are surpassed only by how much he genuinely cares for and about me as his patient. I know this to be true regarding others of his patients because they have shared with me their deep admiration for him. That I am in the strong heart health I currently enjoy is due exclusively to the care I have received from Dr. Nanavati. I enthusiastically recommend him to anyone who is looking for a first-rate doctor, and I do so without any hesitation whatsoever. Website-reviews
