Dr. Madala takes the time to really listen to concerns, explains test results and treatment options clearly, and never makes you feel rushed. Her calm and thoughtful approach immediately puts you at ease, even when discussing serious heart-related issues. I truly appreciate how thorough and proactive she is in managing my care. The office staff is also courteous and efficient, making scheduling and follow-ups smooth and stress-free. If you're looking for a cardiologist who combines expertise, compassion, and clear communication, I highly recommend Dr. Durga Madala.

I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Madala. She is an exceptional cardiologist, and it shows…read morein every aspect of her practice. Her office is always full of patients of all ages, many of whom have been with her for years. No matter who I speak to, everyone consistently speaks highly of her. Even during hospital visits, medical staff know her well and have nothing but wonderful things to say. She has an outstanding reputation not only with her patients, but within the medical community as well. I have seen several cardiologists in the past and was never fully satisfied with the care I received. That completely changed with Dr. Madala. She is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and attentive to detail. She takes the time to truly listen and makes sure nothing is overlooked. She explains what is going on in a clear and thoughtful way, discusses a plan, and provides options so you feel informed and involved. Her care is collaborative, yet you always trust her judgment completely. Dr. Madala provides a level of reassurance and peace of mind that is rare. You never feel rushed during appointments, and you truly feel that she is advocating for what is best for your health rather than what is most convenient. Her care has remained consistently excellent over the years, which is why I continue to see her and would not change a thing. Her staff is equally impressive and a true reflection of her values. They are professional, kind, responsive, and treat patients with courtesy, dignity, and respect. The office is easy to reach, wait times are minimal, and everything runs efficiently. She also does not waste time with unnecessary procedures and focuses only on what is truly needed to provide the best care. Dr. Madala is personable, respectful, proactive, and genuinely cares about her patients as if they were family. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and trustworthy cardiologist, I highly recommend Dr. Madala. It would be hard for anyone not to appreciate the exceptional care she provides.

My baby's pediatrician heard a heart murmur during his two month check-up and recommended we…read morepromptly go see a pediatric cardiologist. The first available appointment was with Dr. Obayashi, though his office was over an hour away from where we live. Because I was so anxious to have him seen fast, I agreed to make the trip the next day rather than wait a couple more days to be seen more locally. I am so glad we went to see Dr. Obayashi because he was fantastic! Dr. Obayashi was thorough, informative, and kind. He explained everything that was going on and set my mind at ease immediately. We had a lot of fun watching (and filming) as Dr. Obayashi expertly swaddled and calmed my son down, who was crying, He had us film his swaddling technique for future reference, and my son ended up sleeping through his ultrasound. Recently at my son's six month check-up, his pediatrician still heard a faint murmur and said it would be a good idea to have it checked out again just in case. Though there was an appointment available locally, I specifically wanted to go see Dr. Obayashi again. I believe that when you find a truly great doctor who is knowledgeable, thoughtful, talented, and cares for their patients, you stick with them and Dr. Obayashi is the best!

Dr. Obayashi has been our daughter's pediatric cardiologist since they found an aortic arch anomaly…read moreprenatally Dr. Obayashi took excellent care of my daughter, got the proper screening, and listened to all my concerns as an anxious first time mom. Our local pediatric hospitalists could not figure out why my daughter had prolonged pneumonia. Only Dr Obayashi correlated her heart condition with her illness. This prompted us to start the process for considering surgery. ENT, Gl, and pulm were doubting why we would take a "healthy" child and proceed with surgery. Only Dr. Obayashi listened to my concerns and my daughter's symptoms seriously. The other specialists wouldn't even recommend the triple scope. It was not until I insisted on the triple scope that the 3 other specialties saw what Dr Obayashi was describing the entire time. He was correct and was a true advocate for his patient. I can't thank him enough for taking excellent care of my daughter and being available, even when out of the office, to explain what was happening or checking in.

I share my experience more from the point of a patient with a rare and notorious to diagnose heart…read morecondition. The rarity of my illness must have contributed to my interaction with Dr. Dao. So if your illness is more of the regular type, your experience could be different. I would prefer it to be 2.5 star, but there is no such thing, thus. On initial impression, Dr. Dao asked the most complete set of questions on my first visit. I came to Dr. Dao after visiting many Cardiologists, not being to get a diagnose. I had high hope at the time. From those questions, I think Dr. has a good grasp of medical knowledge a general cardiologist should. Unfortunately mine is on the special and rare type. At that time I got a not yet confirmed self-diagnose with the help of AI. (Yes, AI.) And interestingly, the diagnose was later confirmed via surgery with a prominent specialist cardiologist majoring in that field, after my visit with Dr. Dao. Dr. Dao claimed she had treated patients with my rare medical condition before, though she didn't fully agree with the diagnose before the confirmation surgery. And in later interactions with her, I often found her knowledge more from a general cardiologist point's of view, not covering the full spectrum of my illness's speciality. Quite a few times her understanding is contrary to what I experienced, and some suggestion could be even harmful to my situation. I think she covers the general side well, and she meant well. But unfortunately being a very confident cardiologist, she has an intention to center the interaction more around her opinion, it could feel like lecturing, rather than helping or listening. And the shown knowledge gap in that specific field often distracts me in our communication, aiding my dropping of confidence in her. I believe mostly because of the rarity of my medical condition, further visit with Dr. Dao on this topic may not help much. Again, your mileage may vary.

Dr. Dao And her office staff are truly wonderful people…read more Within 6 hours of my referral being sent, I had an appointment for the next business day. Not only were they incredibly accommodating, they were real human beings that spoke to me with respect and compassion despite my bitchiness. I'm not sure if it's because I'm getting "old" (30), or of my brain is degenerating but I seriously sometimes don't know what is coming out of my mouth. I have absolutely no filter and can be incredibly demeaning. ‍ I hate this about myself and after I realize what I've done I usually apologize profusely, but still--its a thing ‍ Anyways, Dr. Dao listened to me through my tangents and side stories and and spontaneous sons and she was professional and kind-hearted (pun intended) but not overly so, maintaining her acedemic and intellectual posture... Despite my totally rude behavior. I trust her professional judgement and will recommend her to those looking for an exquisite physician ‍ Side note, she looks like she's 22 which might take you off guard and the waits can be long. But like wait times can't even be considered because it means she is taking the time necessary with each patient--I've also vowed to never complain about doctor's office wait times ‍

But after my interaction with him, I feel pretty confident that anyone who walks into his office with medical needs for cardiology will be given the best care. Thank you Dr Lowenbraun for an excellent experience. I appreciate you.

I moved to California from the Northeast USA in late 2018. I had a previous diagnosis of AFib, but had never had significant symptoms that I detected. I wanted to develop a new health care team here in California. My new primary Care doc referred me to Doctor Scott over a year ago. He diagnosed my condition after extensive testing including a consult on heart electrical physiology to one of his colleagues. He is thorough and thoughtful and knowledgeable. I know I am in expert hands! He has training in Medicine at Harvard and a PhD from MIT, he has multiple patents on heart devices. I know he is the person to manage my health and my heart health care and if I ever need more, he is a skilled surgeon. I have more confidence in him than any other doctor I have ever seen. He analysis's my condition and makes recommendations based on research information that he shares with me. That treatment is more sophisticated than any previous work I have had done by my PCP or heart doctor. I am glad to have him as my doctor and recommend him unconditionally for anyone seeking a cardiologist.

But once Dr. Balakrishnan came, the level of professionalism and patience I saw in her was unparalleled to what I have seen in hospitals in the Bay Area (and I have been to quite a few doctors with my dad). The doctor spoke to my dad via a translator, was very slow and patient in listening and responding, and made sure my dad understood what she was trying to say. I also added a couple of things, and she took them into account too. She suggested further tests and we will see her again in a month or so. I highly recommend Dr. Balakrishnan as a cardiologist for anybody who is looking for a thoughtful and thorough doctor.
