Cardiologist recommendation

Submitted by OmegaBobcat t3_z0492a in rva

Looking for exactly what it says in the title. We moved up from Texas a few months ago. Getting to be time for my regular checkup and wondering if anyone who uses this sub sees a cardiologist that they really like and recommend. Thanks in advance and have a great day

Dr Samuel Wu and Dr Vipal Sabharwal are great Cardiologists. Both with Bon Secours.

Dr. Sabharwal is my mom's cardiologist. He's a great doctor and a very kind person as well.

I see Dr. Sabharwal and would agree. Always has a few minutes to ask about life and is respectful of your intelligence when explaining things. Another solid recommendation.

Thanks! I think that’s near me actually in Mechanicsville

Dr Maheshwari is amazing. He listens, does investigations and referrals when he can’t find answers.

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

Mother-in-law has been very happy with Dr Ellenbogen. Complex case that he has expertly managed.

Ellenbogen is an electrophysiologist and he’s the best!

Make sure if you get an appt you know it’s downtown and not the office an hr away.

I just started going to Dr. Christine Browning at James River Cardiology, the end of October. She came highly recommended by a friend who is a PA and I absolutely LOVE her!
