    I cannot recommend Dr. Michael Elliott as a Cardiologist. To give a Provider an outstanding or a…read morepoor rating without details does not help the Viewer. Therefore, I will give details to help you decide if this Cardiologist is for you. I saw Dr. Elliott after having a heart attack, two heart cath's, and 5 stents 6 months prior at the age 49yr. The one positive thing I can say for Dr. Elliott is that he did spend time talking with me. However, his clinical abilities were lacking. Dr. Elliott was resistant in changing my drug regiment from Lipitor to Crestor and re-starting Tricor for Cholesterol 204, LDL 80, and Triglycerides 224. This was on the recommendation of another out-of-state Provider. In fact, he told me he was not concern with my triglycerides 220's. He informed me that elevated triglycerides have very little effect on cardiovascular disease. He gave me a copy of the "ACCORD" study and told me the study support this claim. When I read the study, my interpretation was that it recommended first-line approach in lower triglycerides was through aggressive diet and exercise. The study remained consistent with current medical management to achieve a triglyceride level less than 150. The problem with hypertriglyceride levels is that it leads to a metabolic syndrome, which sets the stage for insulin resistance diabetes. Insulin resistance diabetes is a huge risk factor for cardiovascular disease. At the time I saw Dr. Elliott, I was still having episodes of angina. He did a nuclear stress test, which was negative. He told me he was not concern with the angina since the test was negative. After a couple of months with continued chest pain, I saw an Interventional Cardiologist who has an excellent reputation with the Heart Share Group at St. Vincent. The new Cardiologist said he was concern since my angina was warning signs. After he viewed my heart cath films from my previous stent placements, he took me back to the cath lab and had to re-stent one original stent due to re-stenosis and angioplasty an 80% lesion. I was very lucky I got a second opinion. I asked Dr. Elliott about doing a carotid duplex, which was based on the recommendations of a previous Provider. Dr. Elliott asked if I had a stroke or a TIA. I said, "no." He responded that I did not need carotid studies. This test helps to identify high-risk patients for strokes. Early detection helps to identify blockages; and therefore, early intervention through stent placement or surgery to prevent strokes. I recently had a carotid duplex done and it did show mild disease process occurring. Additionally, I sent my brother to Dr. Elliott several years before my heart attack because he was having chest pain, high blood pressure, and hyperlipidemia at the age of 22. He told Dr. Elliott that our great-grandfather died at the age of 48yr, and 7 out 10 of his children died of heart attacks. Dr. Elliott told him it did not matter in regards to his risk factors. I recently had the Berkeley Heart Labs done which studies the lipids as well as genetic screening for heart disease. I have an ApoE pattern, which puts me at greater risk for early cardiovascular disease. Finally, I hope this helps others in making an informed decision. There are some really good Cardiologist. Although, I am not sure Dr. Michael Elliott is one of them.

    Dr. Ibrahim Abu Romeh, with the Indiana University Cardiologist Group, was the physician I was…read morereferred to after some heart issues. The scheduling was effortless and the appointment was made 2 days after the referral was requested. He is Board Certified in Cardiovascular Disease with hospital privileges at IU Health Methodist, IU Health University and IU Health West. Dr. Abu is also licensed to provide online care in Indiana. He accepts several different insurance plans so check with your insurance company first if you need his services. IU Health West Hospital is located at the corner of Ronald Regan Parkway and West 10th Street. The hospital has free parking and a patient drop-off area but valet parking isn't currently available. The office is just inside the main entrance and masks plus use of hand sanitizer (they provide) is required to enter. The entrance to the hospital and his office is wheelchair accessible. The office staff has always been friendly, professional and helpful. Chairs have been removed in the waiting area in order to practice social distancing. Again, masks are required in all areas of the hospital. Dr. Romeh is very professional and confident with years of experience. Whether at his office or in the hospital he listens carefully to me and repeats back what he heard. He doesn't dillydally but spends enough time to discuss everything necessary and I never feel rushed. Procedures and medication along with his treatment plan are clearly explained. Dr. Romeh allows for and always ask if I have any questions. I feel very lucky he has proceeded as he has with my treatment plan. My quality of life has improved since my procedures. Now, to tackle rehab!
