My wife has had irregular rythms for years, when they got a bit uncomfortable, she was ref to CVAM. She really liked the doctor and was put on a 30 day monitor and was miserable as the pads cause sores all over her chest. she pushed through it and was told no worries it was recording everything, even if she did not hit the button. They did an ultrasound and thought they found something and then wanted to repeat it again to be sure. Only to find that it was not what they thought and the doc. ruled it off as anxiety and gave her some pills, which with normal to low BP, you can not take, with out causing other problems. The doc said he found nothing on the 30 day monitor, turns out it was not recording anything, unless she hit the button. The staff had misinformed her that she needed to hit the button and instead said not to worry that it records everything. The equipment was always loosing signal and the staff still assured us it was fine. Only to realize, that her doctor decided to send her to another doctor in his office to have her wear another monitor for 30 days to do it right. My wife was going in to have thyroid surgery (although her levels are normal, it was due to nodules) and was asked to use the monitor during this time frame, she asked to wait, as it would just be stressful, with surgery and recovery. Plus he wanted her to follow up with this other doc in his office that deals with the Electrical portion of the heart. Very frustrated and annoyed that she really got no help, and was given the impression that it was in her head or anxiety and that he sees nothing, yet I can feel my wife's pulse and feel the abnormal beats, myself. He also wanted her to take this MLM vitamins that he peddles to his patients. My wife bought them and they did nothing, no difference and she paid a lot of money for them. More money in the trash and wasted on appts etc. for no one to have a clue what is going on. My wife has had her surgery and told by the thyroid surgeon to follow up with her cardiologist. So we are on the look out for someone that can get to the bottom of this, in a timely manner. Not 6 weeks out for an appt and then 6 weeks to get results etc. My wife has gotten worse, and thanks to the Cardiologist believes it is her fault and stress related. She has stopped doing a lot of things and honestly, stopped living a normal life, because she feels that she is doing this to herself. Way to add more anxiety and stress on to a patient, that is already not feeling well. read more

Awesome doctors. Real life savers, no kindling. Extremely responsive, and knowledgable. Follow-up exceptional. Real confidence builders. They work very well as a team. Highly recommended. read more

Dr.Suzanne Sorof is thorough and extremely personable! She is on time and really listens. When she moved offices....so did we! 44 miles away...but she's worth it! Mother in law is worth it! (her doc...I am caregiver) read more

They called me at 620am hawaii time. It was 930am their time the lady told me. So disrespectful. Woke me up after being up all night with my sick kid. She dialed the wrong number. Here's some advise. If you are going to call someone to the west of you they are behind you in time. Example call someone at 920am your time and you calling hawaii it's 2-3 hours ahead of you!!!! Hope the drs there don't make these type of mistakes on the hearts they are working on!!!! read more

BEST EXPERIENCE IVE EVER HAD!!! I came into this doctors office for a bubble study, which I've never had before, and I checked in, sat down, and was called up within the next minute. From there I got my IV, and was seated in a back room for another minute or so, I was called in to start my echo and the tech that performed my echo was so polite, explained everything and was gentle. I was in and out in about 30-40 minute and it was the SMOOTHEST doctors appointment I've ever been to. Thank you so much for this amazing experience for a scary test (well scary for me) and making it so bearable. If you need to see a cardiology come here. Very knowledgeable physicians and great staff! read more

I would give 10 stars if I could. Dr. Ambrosia and his entire staff are wonderful. Very organized, very short wait times and excellent care has always been given (I have been there several times and my wife goes there also). We both highly recommend CVAM!!! read more

Dr. Sein is a terrible doctor! My mom was his patient and saw him repeatedly complaining of chest pains and what she thought were mini heart attacks. He said over and over it was not cardiovascular-related and was indigestion. Ridiculous! He gave her awful medical care (none!) and never even performed a stress test or anything other than over a year after her complaints, he put a halter on her. I hold him responsible for her death this year. All of the chest pains and the "attacks" that she was telling him about were in fact multiple heart attacks. She had clogged arteries the entire time that he never diagnosed. He did nothing to take care of her, no preventative care, no testing or anything. She fell and broke her arm, and had a heart attack after her surgery in the hospital and the heart attack was a result of her clogged arteries that he did not treat. During her time in the hospital, she had two more heart attacks. All a result of Dr. Sein not treating her while under his care for 2 years. He should've been doing his job and adhering to his ethical responsibility. Had he treated her over the two years she was going there, she would still be alive today and would not have had the heart attacks which resulted in her death months later. Dr. Sein dismissed her because she was an old lady. He could care less. Do not go to this doctor under any circumstances. he should be ashamed of himself and his partners should be ashamed to be associated with him. my Mom what a wonderful loving woman whose life mattered to all of her children. Apparently, it didn't matter to Dr. Sein. He should have zero stars. Unfortunately, we have to at least give one star to post a review. read more

My mother and step father have been patients of Dr. Ambrosia for many years and have always had exceptional treatment and service with him. He spoke to me after a surgery my mother had and I felt like I was visiting with a caring, long time friend. I personally needed to visit Dr. Ambrosia a few years ago and I received the same exceptional service. He never made me feel like I was worrying for no reason and he ordered every test possible to rule everything out. I so much appreciate the service we have received here. My Biological father is now a patient at this office as well, with Dr. Kaplan. We have only had one visit with a nurse practitioner so I can not speak of Dr. Kaplan's bed side manner. My Father is a stubborn individual and while it is vital for him to be on his medication he refuses to make an appointment to receive a prescription refill. I have called the office twice, trying to find a temporary solution for this and have been treated with so much disdain and disrespect, these are heart medications not narcotics. I would have hoped for more compassion and understanding. I am extremely disappointed with how I have been treated. read more

Let's call this a zero star review. Their policy refusing to allow even a patient's spouse to attend an appointment is utterly asinine. In my opinion it's patient abuse. The patient has no advocate, no one to provide supporting information, no one to ensure that the patient is treated the way that patient should be. All in the name of "safety". Seriously, take my temperature, and if you're still so worried that I'm going to give everyone in the building COVID, put me in a hazmat suit for all I care, but for heaven's sake, let me accompany my wife to her appointments! Today I was barred from sitting in on her stress test, which was conducted in a closed room by a lone male technician. Unacceptable! Topless in nothing but a paper vest the entire time. "No, you can't wear a sports bra. It interferes with the electrodes." This situation made her extraordinarily uncomfortable to say the least! And no matter how we expressed our concerns, these idiots flat refused to allow me to accompany her into this closed room, which would be occupied by ONLY my wife and this tech. Exactly who am I endangering with my offensive presence? This sort of treatment is absolutely unacceptable. From my perspective, it's a blatant violation of my wife's civil and human rights. I don't have a single kind word to say about this practice. We are definitely finding a new doctor. And in response to today's circumstance, I'm looking into legal action. These people are cardiologists, but the stress they put her under today certainly isn't helping her condition! Shouldn't they be smart enough to realize that? This practice is a joke. Avoid it like the plague. read more

I love my cardiologist Dr Sein and all the wonderful people that work at Cardiovascular Associates of Mesa. I travel a long ways just to go to their office. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a cardiologist! read more

I have been twice to CVAM and both times the front desk check in people were so rude, you would have thought they had just gotten fired. I started to say something to them but thought more about it and decided to hold my tongue.I was late to my appointment and she said. Lady, your appointment was at 12:45, so you'll just have to reschedule. Then she turns around & walks off. The checkout ladies are such darlings. She said you are getting your results today, and then she said if you can wait about 30 to 45 minutes, I'll squeeze you in. She grabbed my hand and gave it a squeeze and said It'll be ok, we'll get you in to see the doctor today, as she saw I was about to start crying. I feel she went above & beyond for me. I could just kick myself for not getting her name.The doctors need to be informed about what a highly skilled, and diplomatic asset these ladies in checkout really are. Thank you very much for your caring attitude. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Panatopoulos for several years and I highly recommend him. He is thorough and professional, but also friendly and caring. He always takes the time to explain things carefully and to answer questions. All of the staff members and technicians in the office have always been courteous and helpful as well. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Sein as my cardiologist for a few years now. I checked in for a 7:30 appt this morning, paid my copay, and was directed to where I should sit in the lobby for the doctor. (Also I received a confirmation of my appt on Friday, today is Monday). After sitting in the lobby about 5 min or so, I was called up to the front desk and told "Since you were 5 min late Dr. Sein said you need to reschedule your appointment." ?? I asked her if she was serious? I WAS NOT LATE?! She said I was late according to THEIR clock. After trying to reason with the person at the front desk who checked me in, I walked out because I didn't want to cause a scene, and was SOOOO UPSET! And this was a cardiologist appointment, which I really need! I sat in my car a while, then I went back in, and asked what was really going on, and got the same answers, even though I WAS NOT LATE. Even Dr Sein came out to talk to me and offered me a 9:45am appt! I took off time from work, (which starts at 7am for me) and was now being 'asked' to return or wait or come back at 9:45. The whole thing was unreal. I was so upset I had to wait 15 minutes just to calm down before driving to work, and am still upset. The fact that they turned it around on ME as if I caused this to happen was unbelievable. Oh, and I asked for my $40 copay back, but of course, whoever takes care of refunds is "out all day." (By the way, my credit card receipt showed 7:21am). Why did they treat me so unfairly? I have no idea but honesty sure would have been nice. Now I have to wait to see a doctor. and take off MORE time from work. Nobody's time is more important than others. All in all, I ended up going BACK in their office 3 times from the parking lot because I was so upset and wanted answers. And I DID end up making a scene, you bet. Nobody should be treated this way. read more

Was referred to CVAM by my primary after having to go to the hospital for chest pains, palpitations, and shortness of breath. Dr.skloven did an ekg which, like in the hospital, showed up normal. He came in, introduced himself, and took a quick listen, concluding that my heart was fine, explaining to me in these words, "You know, sometimes, you being a young woman, and well I don't mean to make this sound the way it will, but women tend to overreact more so than men, so maybe you are overthinking the feelings you are having, which is causing the anxiety." He then concluded that if I wanted I could wear a holster monitor. (Of course I wanted to, I know I'm not crazy, and I genuinely felt something was wrong) but after his comment, I definitely didn't want to be seen by him. I set an appointment with the cardiologist that the hospital referred me to (Tri-City cardiology) and could not have been happier with them. Oh! And even better! They diagnosed what was wrong with me! (Not anxiety OR my overactive female imagination) so thank you guys for being so horrible, that I could find another doctor who was so g read more
