Reply to comment by ssgonzalez11 in Cardiologist recommendation by OmegaBobcat

Thanks! I’ll look him up. I definitely need a listener cause I’m a talker 😂. I know these people know more than I do and I trust their expertise but I do still need to talk it out a little and I’ve had a few doctors in the past who are too abrupt for me (maybe great for someone else, of course)

I work in the cardiology field here - Dr Maheshwari and Dr Appleton are both great choices and I never hear any patient complaints about them.

Thanks! Between you and the other commenter it sounds like Maheshwari is my top contender if I can get it with them.

We sound a lot alike so I would be shocked if you didn’t like him! I had some strange symptoms that no one could figure out and he went through all of it with me, even my probably off the wall non medical person ideas 🤣 also, his office staff are the best in the city. THE BEST. Good luck! Welcome to RVA.

I’ll look him up! I need a cardio and an EP but for now focusing on the cardio and hopefully they’ll have an EP rec

Ellenbogen really is the best but you’ll need a referral to see him (which Maheshwari will for sure do). I saw him and his team for two years (recently cleared and released 🙌🏻) but I love them all. I wish you luck and good health.

Thanks! The same to you, and congrats on clearance. I’ve been dealing with dumb cardio stuff since I was 20 and only last year at 35 got cleared to stop taking medicine and just switch to annual checkups. This is the first one since going off everything so hoping everything holds but feeling really nervous about setting it up and finding out
