He is the most incompetent doctor I ever experienced for a whole year he did nothing for my mother. While my mom went back and fourth to emergency rooms he gaslighted my mom saying it was in her head. And saying her echocardiograms were normal. When they weren't. And he could have cared less about figuring out what was going on with my mom. After taking her to Cleveland clinic and NYU Langone. And Mayo Clinic where the doctor Who is currently The President of the hcm society. Who is the leading expert in Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. My mom actually had Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Which was confirmed by genetic testing and multiple echocardiograms which they weren't normal. After taking my mom to NYU Langone just last week. My mom's echo is really bad that she could benefit from surgery and medication. But do to her age and The risks. There's nothing doctors can do for her. So She's going to end up dying. Which Dr.Rana had a whole year to help get the right diagnosis. Which in my opinion Dr.rana wanted my mom to die. Well he got his wish. She is slowly dying from a condition he could have helped diagnose for a whole year. Back In April of 2023 I took my mom to Cleveland clinic which Dr.rana was against. Back in July 2023 Cleveland clinic actually had to take her off amlodipine and losartan Cause it was damaging her heart and Worsening the LV Gradient with My moms Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Those two medications actually interact with the disease. Dr.rana Actually called me on July 4th 2023 and asked me why did Cleveland clinic Take her off those two medications. Like You would think Dr.Rana would have known that information given he is a cardiologist. Dr.rana is authoritarian doctor. At one point during this I was trying to work with dr.rana with the dr.at Cleveland clinic. He Calls me on the phone and says I have practiced cardiology for 30 years im not taking orders from her. Any patient dealing with Dr.Rana. I would be very careful trusting his judgment. Get second opinions. Given what he did to my mother several years ago. He is also very arrogant too. And he thinks he knows everything and he thinks he is better than everyone. Also in my opinion he gaslights women patients. Now I can't speak about the other doctors in the group. I have heard there good. But Dr.Rana really screwed my mom over. Also if you have an issue where Dr.Rana delays a diagnosis or gaslights you or doesn't provide you with the appropriate medical care. Please file a complaint with the NY state medical board . They told me they are taking all complaints seriously now. He shouldn't be bullying patients like he is doing. And he doesn't get to do whatever he wants like he Thinks he does. Hopefully my review helps other people when dealing with this man. And Saves a life. You have been warned.

They are very strict about Covid-19 procedures: only the patient plus one adult allowed at the visit, masks must be worn at all times, sanitizer around, chairs spaced appropriately. Yet the staff was so amazing in every way possible: the office was cheerful when we pulled in and pressed the number to be admitted through the parking lot gate. We were told to wait until our appointment time before entering the office, which we did. Upon entering we were warmly greeted. There were two cups of pens: one with sanitized pens and the other for placement of used pens. The tech called for us after a short wait and she was most kind and accommodating. During the ultrasound she was not vexed by questions or comments. In fact she said it all when she said she never tires of this. Wow. She really does like what she does and does it well. Dr. Orie came in after the tech was done and was also very impressive. The company website explains "his expertise in fetal echocardiography enables him to also diagnose cardiac defects in the unborn child, allowing Dr. Orie to care for and counsel expectant mothers". He was pleasant and modest saying the tech did all the work. He explained the images as I'm sure we were looking at him, wide eyed, as we tried to process his terminology like tenth graders in biology class - and good news that all is well. Who ever heard of an expert medical specialist who is so kind and pleasant? How lucky to have Dr. Orie and Pediatric Cardiology Associates of WNY right here in Buffalo.

My recent appointment with Dr. Joanne Cobler at Buffalo Medical Group was one of the most…read moreunprofessional and dismissive medical interactions I have experienced, and it ultimately ended with ME terminating the doctor-patient relationship and leaving the appointment. To provide context, I waited several months for this appointment in order to discuss the progression of my mitral valve prolapse and what appears to be an increase in its severity based on recent diagnostic testing. For a patient, especially someone who is not a physician and is trying to understand a potentially serious heart condition, that wait comes with a great deal of anxiety and concern. Sitting down with a cardiologist is supposed to provide clarity, reassurance, and thoughtful guidance. Instead, the interaction I experienced was dismissive, confrontational, and devoid of the basic bedside manner one would reasonably expect from a specialist dealing with potentially life-threatening cardiac issues. Because my wife was unable to attend the appointment in person, I had her on speakerphone so she could listen while Dr. Cobler reviewed my diagnostic results. She wanted to hear the interpretation directly and ask questions if necessary. This is a very common and reasonable practice when dealing with health issues and would have been no different than if she had simply been sitting in the exam room with me. Before Dr. Cobler even entered the room, her assistant came in and told me that I needed to either turn my phone down or hang up because Dr. Cobler was in the next room and claimed she could not read the notes from my diagnostic report due to my conversation. This request was both surprising and unnecessary. My wife and I were simply speaking quietly while waiting for the doctor to arrive, something that would be entirely normal if a spouse were sitting in the room. When Dr. Cobler finally entered the room, I immediately explained that my wife was on the phone so she could hear the discussion about my diagnostic results and ask questions if needed. Rather than acknowledging this reasonable request, Dr. Cobler dismissed the statement entirely and proceeded as if it had never been said. She did not acknowledge my wife's presence on the call, did not offer to include her in the conversation, and did not demonstrate any willingness to engage collaboratively in discussing my condition. Instead, the tone of the appointment quickly became confrontational and dismissive. Dr. Cobler began questioning me about previous diagnostic test results and appeared irritated that I could not immediately recall specific numbers and details from prior reports. Rather than simply referencing the information already in my medical record or explaining it, she repeatedly spoke in a condescending and critical tone. When I attempted to ask questions about my condition and the interpretation of my recent diagnostic report, those questions were repeatedly interrupted or dismissed. At one point she stated that she could not continue speaking with me because of "background noise" coming from my phone, despite the fact that there was none. Again, this situation was functionally no different than if my wife had been sitting in the room and participating in the conversation. Equally concerning was the recommendation she made regarding exercise. Dr. Cobler proceeded to lecture me about needing to follow an extremely aggressive workout regimen that sounded more appropriate for elite endurance athletes in their twenties or thirties than for a 52-year-old patient seeking guidance about a cardiac condition. The recommendation was delivered as criticism rather than as thoughtful medical guidance, and no meaningful explanation was provided about how such a regimen related to my specific condition or medical history. By this point the interaction had become increasingly uncomfortable and unproductive. Rather than a professional medical consultation focused on helping a concerned patient understand a heart condition, the appointment had turned into a one-sided lecture delivered in a dismissive and hostile tone. Eventually I had simply had enough. I interrupted the conversation and said directly, "You are done. We are done here." I stood up and made it clear that I was ending the appointment. At that point Dr. Cobler attempted to persuade me to stay. By that point, however, my decision had already been made. The interaction had deteriorated to the point where any productive dialogue about my condition was no longer possible. I declined her request, reiterated that we were done, and left the office. For patients dealing with cardiac conditions, especially something as concerning as the progression of mitral valve prolapse, the emotional component cannot be ignored. When you are not a physician and are trying to understand a condition that may affect your long-term health or even your life expectancy, communication from your cardiologist is essential. Patients need explanatio

Awful customer service.

The ER doctor said they could give me a script, but if they did that it would be for a different cardiology group if they did. So I called Trinity on Monday when I didn't hear from them and they cannot get me in for an ER follow up appointment until Thursday (3 days from now). They also cannot order anything because they don't have a script. I mentioned the note from my ER visit and she said that they had to have a script. The on call doctor recommended this to the ER doctor and all I got was attitude from the receptionist on the phone. I cannot believe this is their standard of care! This is not my first poor experience with them, so after this, I will absolutely be finding a new practice.
