Office staff "seem" uncaring and this place does not "seem" to respect your time. The person (Heather) who called me back was also the one performing the procedure was kind and knowledgeable and also took good care of me.

This place is fantastic.

This new location on Old River is great. Very convenient. Hopefully we'll be able to get my in-laws ICD checked there in the near future. As for the Sillect location...the imaging side is great. Front desk staff is friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. I've had three ultrasounds there and every time I have excellent service. Even my CT scan went well. The appointment side is just as great. They have friendly staff and the wait has reduced since the Old River location opened. Parking at the Sillect location can be a bit congested, but seems better with the other location now open. The actual Heart Hospital... fantastic. Nothing but excellent service from everyone I encountered. Highly recommend for your cardiology and vascular needs.

They made me feel at ease knowing they are right there to help. BOTH very professionals!!! The test was fasting & after waiting when the first test was done - my sugar is getting low & I'm feeling dizzy. I approached Jessie & asked her if they have a candy dish so I can have some sugar in my system. She said due to Covid-19 they've taken away the candy dish. She asked Lynn if I can have anything since I'm still due for a second test. This awesome lady Jessie handed me her OWN NutriBar (something like that, can't remember the name) to keep me from having a very low sugar in my system. She went beyond & above of her job. THANK YOU so much JESSIE!!! you have a good heart!

They seem to pack patients in as if they're all given the same exact appointment time. I was told that Dr. Habib usually runs over an hour late. I understand he wants to be thorough with each patient, but it's kind of ridiculous. I read other reviews about rude front desk employees. These reviews were not wrong. I have called numerous times and all I've gotten were messages that said they will call you back within 24 hours. That's bad enough, but worse is not ever being called back. I did have a procedure at the hospital, with one of the doctors from Comprehensive Cardiology, named Dr. Banarjee. Very nice and personable man. I will not be going back to this office however. Not worth the problems.

The first time I met with the doctor he assured me to be in good hands and eased my mind. The day before my ECHO I receive a call Sunday afternoon by the doctor to verify my appointment and answer any questions I had which, was a very kind gesture. I loved that my technician walked me through the entire process she gave me a sense of peace, making it a positive experience. I was even scheduled for the ultrasound at 8:30 AM and the results at 9:15 AM on the same day so I didn't have to wait long for my results or have to return another day.

I was originally referred to Dr Puga for what turns out to be a very minor issue in an EKG…read moreperformed by my PCP. Dr. Puga did more than his due diligence in blood work and other tests, and also listened to me and added extra tests to get a diagnosis for a recurring issue I've been dealing with for years (PVCs - Premature Ventricular Contractions). The tests for this were inconclusive but he still has a treatment for me, whereas other doctors have blown me off. Dr. Puga is polite. He listens and asks questions that make sense. His office is nice as his staff are good at communicating. Possibly the only negative might be is that it took quite awhile to get an appointment but that may have been due to everything being slow restarting from the pandemic. In any case, I find him to be the doctor for me.

I did not like how they started to act when I asked to see specialist of my choice. Assistant asked doc if he knew specialist. He said no, but he knows the one he was referring me to. Thank goodness for Yelp and Google reviews I was able to search the doc that he was referring me to instantly, and I did not like what patients said about her. Really, I was gonna give any specialist a chance, but also had one in mind. The specialist of my choice had not yet received my referral, called this office and they said that there was no referral for me on file. So now she has to go over with assistant and they will call me in another 3-4 days. I know this is not a big deal for any of the staff here, but I'm not feeling well. I switched insurance for my well-being. I'm trying to get well.

My surgery was not heart-related, but I chose BHH because I was familiar with the facility and…read morestaff (my wife was a patient at BHH for several weeks a few months ago). I was only at BHH for about 5 hours for this surgery, but I really appreciated the friendly and meticulous staff, especially nurse Ed. I had to repeatedly confirm my name and birth date to various staff members (some of whom apologized for asking me to re-confirm) but I appreciated how careful they were to verify important details. Dr. Enriquez even drew on my body, but that was fine with me, because I definitely didn't want to have the wrong surgery. There was an hour or so of missing time in the middle of my stay. No memories at all of what happened during that hour, but I remember bright lights above me. Was I abducted by aliens? But seriously, the moments before and after that missing time were very pleasant, as I gently lost consciousness and gently regained consciousness. My breathing tube was inserted and removed while I was unconscious, so I don't have any unpleasant memories about that (only a slightly sore throat). I didn't even really feel any pain from the surgery until many hours after I left. Candidly, I had some complaints about the way my wife had been treated by a couple of BHH staff members during her long hospitalization, but even then it was obvious that BHH overall is an excellent facility with high standards. I think the problems my wife experienced related to the fact that BHH was somewhat understaffed during that time (and that my wife's case was truly frustrating for everybody). Times have been difficult for many businesses lately in relation to staffing, so I didn't hold that against them. I could have chosen a different hospital for this surgery, but I'm glad I chose Bakersfield Heart Hospital.

I told the doctor I had a kidney stone and in addition to that my foot was also swollen to the point where I couldn't even walk on it. The doctor takes a look at my foot and says Yep it's swollen. And the conversation ended there regarding my foot. Anyone that's had a kidney stone knows that it is very painful in addition to the pain from barely being able to put weight on my foot. You would think that the doctor would offer some kind of pain relief. Instead, he let me sit there for six hours, suffering and pain when he easily could've given me something to help ease the Pain. To top it off while I was there, I hear him talking to the lady across from me that fell and hurt her harm, and he begins to listing off numerous pain medications. He can give her to help her ease the pain. I was just in disbelief But the worst thing about this encounter is I was discharged and I'm still at home. I can't walk and I have no idea what's wrong with my foot. The doctor didn't email address it. Absolutely unacceptable. Avoid this doctor at all costs.
