This practice has been my cardiologists for several years first with Dr, K Narala and now Dr. Choji, great patient communication and both very professional. All the staff are excellent, I have had exceptional care from Nina. Highly Recommended. read more

Be prepared to wait. Appointment time means nothing. Don't be surprised if your appointment is for 11am and you have not been seen by 4pm. Nobody, including the doctor, seems to care you wasted your whole day there. Nobody apologizes or even acknowledges the situation. Then, you will be rushed in his office. Wait 4 - 5 after EXTRA HOURS from your scheduled time for a 4 - 5 MINUTES consultation. read more

Long waits. Rushed visits and short staffed. The front desk staff told me my appt was canceled because I didn't have insurance. I did, the company changed carriers to an even better one. I wasn't notified my appt was canceled. Never transferred my care which is required by law. Good doctor, but terribly run read more

My experience today. Waited 2 hours past my appointment time for a 2 minutes consultation, one minute answering the doctor's question (of how I was) that I was furious about the long wait without any acknowledgement or apology from him or anyone else (after an uncomfortable silent moment he said, "I am doing the best I can") and the other 1 minute telling me that I passed the test! For this, my insurance will pay whatever they get charged from their agreement (likely several hundred dollars) plus my $50+ copayment. The doctor may or may not be a good doctor, but the overall experience was an F- from the time of booking the test/appointment to the time of checking-out where it was clear to me that this was a common occurrence. read more

Waited 1 hour and 45 minutes to be seen for 14 minutes And it was to see the PA. Totally unacceptable. Learn how to schedule your appointments please! read more

Dr Chandra is an amazing physician. His staff is very professional and competent, Tony was very calming and explained everything, his experience definitely shows!! My experience with this office was amazing. I really appreciate expediting the tests I needed to get cleared for my upcoming surgery! read more

Dr. Narala is very good, but he needs to get either more staff or better staff to answer the phone. When you wait on the phone to cancel appointment and then you hang up and then you call back a little later and they ask you to hold again. The staff are in a service business, and they act like it's my problem to hold. read more

They're billing office is terrible. They don't verify co-pays. I was a tier one with UHS there was no co-pay they asked for $55 co-pay and Jeri stated me that's billing office said I owed on $250 cash payment so they never verified the contracted amount nor that I was a tier one that had no co-pay. You could have the best in the world, but if your staff is uneducated and will not admit that they are not what the estimated co-pay would be they hit you a amount JerI was very unprofessional on how she handled it while she yelled at me while I was being very calm she stated she did not the other patients in the waiting room. You can have the best doctor and have a staff that somewhat incompetent and the doctor suffers and vice versa if I were you, I would stay away from desert cardiologist and vascular center. Find another doctor. They nickel and I'm used to death. read more

Just wanted to say that I was very happy with Dr. Narala, he understood my sense of urgency that I needed preop clearance for surgery and got everything taken care of and even having an issue with my insurance Karen the Office Manager went above and beyond to get it taken care of. So thank you again Dr. Narala and Karen for everything you guys did. Lara(very happy patient) read more

Wonderful practice. I was treated in the hospital and in the office as well. Kind considerate and attentive.

Dr Chandra Narala and his son Dr K are just amazing. My mom has Afib and some coronary issues. She is 88 years old. She had a valve replacement 2 years ago. I have been taking mom to Dr Narala since 2012. Pacemaker, heart valve replacement you name it If she wasn't under Dr Narala care I am not certain mom will still be here with me Thank you from the bottom of my heart for keeping patient with heart condition under good care! Dr narala perform surgery at Dignity Siena campus just across from their office Family practice! read more

Had to wait an hour and a half past my appointment time eventually had to walk out cause I had business to attend to Every appointment, I've had I've had to at least wait an hour to be seen. This is unacceptable. read more

Dr K Narla and his team worked on both my legs. I could barely walk before. He went in and cleaned out my veins and put in stents. And my stomach was also blocked he fixed that one also. I can walk again! I don't need a cane or anything to walk. I can not thank Dr K Narla and his team enough. I highly recommend him. I also go to his Dad for my cardiologist. He is a fantastic Dr. also. I highly recommend both of these Dr. They have gave me a new lease on life and I can't praise them enough. Thank you just doesn't just seem enough. read more

I was scheduled for a stress test here. I was only advised not to drink caffeine 24 hours before my test and to not eat that morning. When I arrived, I was told that I would be injected with radioactive material through an IV that supposedly would take pictures inside me. I refused to be injected by the foreign substance. This asshole that works there, Tony, printed a copy of a document to show me my signature, was argumentative, told me that it was already explained to me and asked me if I knew how to read. I advised Tony that nobody told me and I had no understanding that radioactive materials would be injected into my body and how could he know it was explained to me when he wasn't there? I cannot stand when these hacks try to turn fiction into fact when they have no personal knowledge. Tony threatened me with fines/fees to the tune of $300 if I did not permit him to proceed. I declined. I was then ridiculed by the front desk who told me that I "was an adult" in reference to not understanding the signed document. In my personal opinion, this place is a hack shop more concerned about profit rather than the health of patients. read more

I and my husband are patients of Naralas. They are extremely busy and I agree that it's hard to see them. But they are very PROFESSIONAL and very CARING! I and my husband have great respect for them. If you are impatient and juggling between your work and then I would recommend you to take a day off. Waiting time may be little longer. But I guarantee you that, you get an excellent care from them! And it's worth the wait. I highly recommend both Dr. K and Dr. C. read more

I've been a patient here for about 10 years and I'm grateful for all the staff does. The father and son team is outstanding and the staff is always courageous and kind. read more

Almost 3 weeks after they were to call me to set up an appointment and me leaving a message, they called. Twice. By that time I had already seen a cardiologist and had a number of tests. All proved my heart was fine. read more

I've been waiting for over an hour for a simple echocardiogram and I hear the receptionist on the phone telling some to hurry up and get here. I go up and ask and they tell me it was a scheduling error. They are working on it. They also tell me they can't do rescheduling. What a joke read more

My wife and I have been using Desert Cardiology and Vascular for 13 years. Our doctors, both Dr. C Narala and his son Dr. K Narala are excellent cardiologist and surgeons. Dr. C saved my wife's life in 2015 and Dr K saved me in 2023. They both take their time with you as well as both communicate with my GP and my pulmonary doctors to assist in our health issues. I would highly recommend this practice. read more

The staff at Desert Cardiology is always friendly and helpful. Dr. Naralla is a quality cardiologist and trust him to take great care of me. read more

One of those clinics that is fine wasting your time, and therefore overbooks to the point of chaos. The waiting room is completely full and people waiting 1.5 hrs after their appointment time. How do they expect people to coordinate their days or take off work for a quick appointment? Rude when doctors run their clinics like this Also, the office itself is quite dirty and the doctors rush you through your questions in a couple minutes. Guess that's acceptable to them though! read more

Yelp Review Desert Cardiology & Vascular Center I have never written a yelp review before. Every once in a very great while, when I have a positive experience in the medical world I feel it must be shared. This is one of those times. I just had an experience with a group of people who are exceptional professionals and their attitudes and behaviors are an examples of how to provide great patient care. I had a pleasant, positive and exemplary experience in my dealings with Desert Cardiology and Vascular Center. Who? Dr Narthiek Narala & Dr Chandra Narala and their team of fabulous professionals. My experience included interactions with an efficient office appointment scheduler, a personable & helpful office clerk, a skilled and personable medical assistant, a truly professional,knowledgable & skilled Nurse Practitioner and finally, a fabulous & very helpful surgical scheduler. This is not the norm today...it is very unusual. This team should give lessons in customer (patient) service. Thank you all for making an experience which is normally one of the highest level of anxiety experiences... so much less nerve wracking and much easier to deal with over the past month. I appreciate all of you!!! Nancy M, RN (of 50 years), MEd, MSW read more

We were seeing Dr. Narala at Desert Cardiology, even though they were out of our coverage, because he's a good cardiologist, however his front office is inefficient, unprofessional, inconsiderate & oblivious to how to appropriately function. Dr. Narala has been informed of such & has a new office manager, Greta. Little change has been noticed except for asking Greta to follow through on duties that the front office should be able to do. Our PCP called (via physician/hospital line) directly to request my husband's cardiology records & was hung up on several times. It is extremely frustrating to call even for an appointment, you're placed on hold for more than 30-40 minutes minimum when you're not hung up on. My husband often has to drive to the office (a little over 20 min.) in order to communicate with anyone. It has been a 2 year nightmare. After our PCP's experience, he referred us to a cardiology group that is now within our medical coverage. If you can find a good cardiologist within your network choose them & skip this office! P.S. We originally saw Dr.Narala & his son while we were in the hospital & liked them which is why we stuck with them, but now we can't take the stress of the front office. read more

I have been a patient of Desert Cardiology for more than a decade. Due to their expert help, I have fully recovered from a serious heart defect. I have also regained restful and healthy sleep, by availing myself of the help of their on-site sleep center. I am now experiencing the most vibrant health and energetic life of my 67 years, thanks to these highly skilled, throughough, dedicated, and personable medical professionals and staff. I am extremely grateful. read more

Waiting is not overly long. I've seen dr Chandra N. Very good bedside manner. Takes his time explaining and listening to any concerns. The practitioner was very attentive and caring. The office staff is always helpful and pleasant. read more

My wife has been treated by Dr. Chandra Narala since 2006. He has given her excellent care. Both she and I have also seen Dr. Karthiek Narala and been given excellent care. I recently had a stent implanted by Dr. Karthiek Narala. Both he and his OR staff were great. The medical staff at Desert Cardiology are very professional. read more

Dr. Narala is amazing! He takes his time with me and answers all my questions. He is very thorough but doesn't order unnecessary tests. Ive been going to his office for more than 6 years and have never, not even once, had a bad experience there. His PA's are very knowledgeable and take their time with me to be sure I understand. The office staff is always professional and friendly. 90% of the time I wait less than 15 minutes to get in to see the doctor. I've never waited more than 30 minutes. I would recommend Dr. Narala without hesitation and he is the only cardiologist I would take a family member to read more

Appointments mean nothing and they lie. Called to make an appointment and specifically asked how long it would take as I had other appointments that day. Was told maybe 30min or so. Sat in the waiting room for over an hour and counting and haven't been so much as acknowledged. Gonna be screwed out of another appointment that I have no way of making up, likely costing me a lot of money and letting down my kid. read more

Terrible. I called to make an appointment because I was referred to them. I was on hold for 25 minutes and when someone finally came on the line, they told me they were too busy to make an appointment. What?! I will not be going here and by the looks of the star reviews on Yelp, not many people want to! Terrible! read more

Staff does not follow through with ANYTHING! Does not return calls. I have to call several several times until I get frustrated and yell and than they act like I'm being ridiculous? Just asking someone to do their job, please It's a shame the staff makes the doctors look so bad read more

In July 9th 2019 my 88 year old father had a heart attack and was rushed to the hospital. Dr. Narala put five stents in his heart and helped getting him through heart failure after his surgeries. I believe my father now 92 would not be here without Dr Narala. We have been seeing Dr. Narala since his heart attack and he's always so helpful and attentive to my fathers care and needs. This review is long overdue! Thank you Dr Narala for saving my father's life! Margo read more

What a complete joke of a "doctors office". Just spent almost 2 hours waiting for a simple monitor to take home in which they couldn't even figure out how to program it and kept blaming the computer crashing. There is 0 communication while you sit here waiting for hours in a crowded room full of people waiting to be seen or updated and the staff (aside from the front desk check in clerk) are all rude and dry. Never would I ever recommend anyone to this place and the sad part is that people come here to check on a potentially serious medical issue yet the staff could give 2 craps about anyone's well being. Steer clear away and find an alternative to this place. read more

Dr Chandra and his son Dr Karthiek. Smart fellows, great bedside manner. Saved my life. read more

Patient for approximately 2 years... Very Good, Comforting, and seemingly Professional Doctor who does his job with some pride. The office staff is inept, rude, and possibly mentally defective. Enough was enough!! They schedule procedures well in advance and cancel within MINUTES of your arrival time BUT "never know exactly why(?)" and find a number of excuses that are never their fault. The "office manager" (whichever person is elected at that moment to lie to you) is always from the same select few whom are never the ACTUAL manager (like Rich... lie, lie, be rude, say something stupid, hang up)... Okie Dokie. Too bad, too. If WE cancel the appointment with INSUFFICIENT notice, WE have to pay a fee. When YOU cancel a medical PROCEDURE, not test or visit, but a PROCEDURE that required a day off of work and coordinating drop off/pick up and YOU cancel with less than an HOUR before start time, with no reason other than "I don't think we sent out for an approval" or "I guess the tech couldn't stay late" @ 1pm in the afternoon for a 2pm appointment.... and YOU give ME attitude and ineptitude... that only reflects on you. read more

4 Stars for the Doctors. Somewhat thorough and professional. 1 Star for a few of there front office staff that are totally incompetent. Pathetic. And now only patients are allowing in the waiting area. Why? Because they overbook and the place is always overcrowded. Follow the $$$$$ You can go sit in your car......awful...... read more

I've been bringing my dad to see Dr. Narala for about 5 years now. We when first started coming to see him there were no issues with the wait time. In the past year it has been ridiculous. I don't know if it's because he has picked up a lot more new patients or something else. I believe it starts with the schedulers. The waiting room now is standing room only. I firmly believe they over book every single time. On 3 separate occasions I had to wind up researching because I believe an hour was long enough to wait. I'm here today and so far our wait is at 30 minutes. I will give it another 30 minutes and then we are out. My dad is 93 years old and this long wait time is not conducive to his health. I'm also considering to look for a different cardiologist. No one should have to wait hours to be seen by any doctor unless he was called out for an emergency. That was not the case the 3 times we had to reschedule. read more

Just had my first appt with Dr. Narala and his PA, Jasmine Kim and I couldn't be more impressed! I am originally from Seattle where I worked in clinics and Seattle Children's Hospital. My experience gave me insights to how clinics should work. I know how careful you have to be in choosing doctors down here and the clinic I just left was horrible. It was so easy to call and make an appt at Desert Cardiology-no waiting in a queue at #25 and being booked weeks out. Everyone in the clinic was friendly, personable and actually knew what they were doing. Jasmine spent over 20 minutes getting my cardiac and medical history and Dr. Narala spent the same amount of time explaining what comes next. He ordered two more noninvasive tests after noticing my varicose veins and discussed any questions I had. He and Jasmine are friendly, knowledgeable and made me feel like I had finally found the cardiologist I needed and felt comfortable with! I highly recommend him if you need a new doc or are not trusting your current one. Cheryl Heney read more

I was referred to Dr. Narala so I could get potential sleep disorders diagnosed. Dr. Narala himself is very nice and helpful in answering any questions that you'd have, but his office staff on the other hand can sometimes be a pain to deal with, especially on the phone because they don't always remember to follow-up with you on things like test results and insurance billing questions. These things may not seem important enough to them to prioritize but to a patient it can be very stressful not knowing. Usually if I don't hear back for a few days, I'll give the office a call and follow-up myself. I've been told by his office staff before that they either were too busy to call me or that they had called and left a voicemail when I don't even have a missed call or voicemail. I've also been early or on time to appointments here and then still had to wait almost an hour...What?! Overall I've gotten what I needed out Desert Cardiology, just sometimes the process drags on longer than it has to! read more

Desert Cardiology - Front desk - Cardiologists Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

Definitely I do not recommend this place. Front desk terrible..not friendly..be prepared to wait hours. Doctor Chandra was 10 minutes with us in the room after my husband stay 5 years with no check up. He even didn't take the blood pressure. Never saw an appointment so superficial in my life. Today, we came back to get results from a sleep exam with a NURSE PRACTITIONER (Ting Ting her name) and our appointment was 1:45 pm. We arrived 1:20pm and we was waiting until 3:20pm. read more

I'm giving this business a two because I actually love the cardiologist Dr. Narala. It's his staff/technical testing support that is an absolute shit show! Otherwise I would give them a zero if possible! My elderly father, 82 years old, was sent to Dr Narala for possible congestive heart failure. Dr. Narala recommended testing, Specifically a cardiac ultrasound and a chemical stress test. Our first cardiac ultrasound was scheduled for July 21 at 1:30 PM. On July 20 my mom got a call that they needed to rescheduled us to 10 AM because the technician needed to go home early. I called them and said hey that's not OK I work for a living and I had to make special arrangements to get this time off to take him to this test and you can't just reschedule my father without letting me know since I am their primary caregiver. They told me there's nothing they could do about it because the technician wanted to go home early. I was super pissed but agreed to reschedule the appointment to the 28th. The 28th appointment was scheduled for 2:30 PM. At 10 AM that morning the technician called wanting to see if my dad could come in at noon. I was like are you kidding me! You guys did this to me last week because you wanted to go home early. I told her I don't care what you have planned or what you want to do, I made an appointment for 2:30 and again took time off work to accommodate this appointment . I said I will be there at 2:30 and you will be seeing my father. I think I scared her, so she did accommodate the scheduled time. I guess in her world if you just want to take an early out for the day its OK to inconvenience everybody you have scheduled for the day. WTF people work!!! So today August 12 we had the chemical stress test scheduled for 9 AM. We arrived at 8:45 AM. One of the office staff said oh hey, we made multiple attempts to contact you yesterday because we're not gonna be able to do his test today. I was like nobody called me so that's a lie. The guy then said well we'll just move you to Monday and I said no I work for a living and I don't have availability on Mondays I need a Friday, my day off. This is a 3 to 4 hour test. And he goes can't your parents just Uber? I was like my parents are 80 and 82, they don't drive, and my mother can barely use a phone to make a phone call so no you're not gonna force my elderly parents to be made to Uber to accommodate your schedule when we had an appointment that was on the books for over a month. So my dad did not get his chemical stress test, still needs a chemical stress test to determine if he's in congestive heart failure, and I'm left waiting for this shit show of an office staff to call me back to make arrangements. I'm sure it's gonna be another runaround. Apparently they only do this test once a month so we're likely going to be forced to wait until September. I'm curious if they will no-show no call that scheduled appointment since that seems to be the MO. If we weren't so far down the rabbit hole I would say screw it and get a different doctor. My advice to you is if you are referred to this shit show of a practice steer clear!!!! read more
