Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Caring and attentive
Dr. Ehsan performed a mitral valve repair for me after regularly consulting with me and my cardiologist for many years. I trusted his opinion and expertise enough to choose him as my surgeon. Surgery was successful. Follow up care was good and I am on the road to a full recovery.

From my first office meeting to my last, I was impressed by Dr. Ehsan's communication skills and his knowledge and experience with my condition. He explained the necessary procedures in terms I could understand and gave me a great deal of confidence that I would have good results from the surgery.

Dr. Ehsan could not have been better in handling my procedure from initial consult through my post surgery check up last week. He is personable and explained everything to my wife and I am grateful that he was my surgeon.

Valve repair
Dr. Ehsan operated on my regurgitating mitral valve. He was able to repair my existing valve without performing a replacement. Very satisfied with his skill and my outcome.

Great Doctor

Dr. Ehsan explained to me what he was going to do and how he'd do it. That he's done many of times. I felt calmer having him talk to me rather than just going ahead with the procedure. I'm very grateful he was there to help me that day!

Triple Bypass Surgery
Was under his care for a 12 day hospital stay. His explanations and calmness in detailing the required surgical activities and related procedures provided reassurance and confidence in the ultimate results not only to me but to my family,. Those very positive results were ultimately achieved. His taking the time to have personal discussions with individual family members was most appreciated

Thank you very much.
Dr Ehsan performed open heart surgery on me 6 weeks ago I had spoken to Dr Ehsan a few weeks prior to the procedure, and he explain exactly what was going to take place in detail and answered any questions I had putting my mind at ease. The day of the procedure he again went over what he was going to do, he has a wonderful bedside manner. After the operation the care I received from him and his associates was and has been outstanding. I cannot say enough good things about Dr Ehsan and if anyone needs heart surgery, I advise you to look no further than Dr Ehsan you will be in the best hands.On a personal note, I would like to express my sincere thanks to Dr Ehsan for what he has done for me. I am 71 years old and since the operation I feel 50 and much more energy than I have had in years.

Dr. Ehsan is the man!
Dr. Ehsan is a wonderful doctor and has a wonderful beside manner. You may not think so of a man of skills. He even gets my humor. For example, I said to him if look out your office window and see me playing in the mud you won’t get upset will you. Obviously he got my since of humor because he used pig valves in my heart and laughed. I can’t thank him enough for what he has done for me. He saved my life! I had bacterial endocarditis in my heart. There is no way this operation could have gone any better because of his surgical expertise. Everyone that was concerned and knows me I tell them “he’s the man”

Excellent Cardiothoracic Surgeon
Dr. Ehsan is a skilled and kind heart surgeon. He repaired my mitral valve regurgitation and seven weeks later, I am back to my active life style. It is a gift from God to have had Dr. Ehsan as my surgeon and now have a regular, steady heartbeat. Dr. Ehsan and the entire cardiac staff at Rhode Island Hospital received a 10 star rating from me. Thank you to the entire team.

Very likely, Dr Ehsan was fantastic!
Dr Ehsan performed my mitral valve repair surgery. At only 6 weeks after surgery I am already feeling so much better and have much more stamina than I did before surgery. I will be starting my 12 week cardio rehab soon and I expect that I will have excellent results. I’m very grateful for all that Dr Ehsan and his team did for me, I literally have a new lease on life!
