Dr. Ananthram is an extremely patient, caring doctor. I had been to a previous cardiologist who basically fluffed me off ------ and I was not the first person who experienced this same type of attitude. This was not true with Dr. Ananthram who listened carefully, displayed sincere concern, and is trying to resolve a solution to my problem. I owe a neighbor of mine a huge hug for her recommendation.!!

Dr. Ananthram was very caring, and I felt he listened to me and asked questions and comments which addressed my situation. He made me feel my health is improving. I remembered him from my hospital stay months earlier and we talked about the causes. I think Dr. Ananthram truly makes an effort to acknowledge and listen to his patient.

I totally trust Dr Ananthrum with all my health needs. He is very professional, highly knowledgeable, extremely respectful and yet, totally approachable. As an old lady with heart failure, he treats me in a way that makes me feel seen and heard. Your heart is a precious thing and ha ing a doctor who gets that is priceless.
