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.

Dr Sanam has been instrumental in saving my life starting about 3 years ago and he and his staff especially Tonnie have been outstanding Caring, professional and knowledgeable

A wonderful, extremely knowledgeable gentleman. Very personable, but more importantly, very, very good at his chosen profession. Dr. Sanam has taken me, (70), from heart failure to a very healthy heart, with a great future. His very professional staff is truly amazing, and the most caring people I've ever met. Extremely efficient and connected with the patients. You won't find better ! He's very good ! They're great !

Dr. Sanam has given me thorough and attentive care and attention since I suffered heart failure and kidney failure a year ago. The heart failure resulted from kidney failure. Dr. Sanam ensured I took a full battery of tests since my heart was acutely involved in my medical problems. His follow-up has been superb.

Dr. Sanam’s professionalism is off the scale and he is a true 10-star Doc. After 4 years under his expert and personalized care, I feel significantly better and am twice as healthy and energetic than before. He takes a whole person, cross discipline view of my ills and has suggested pathways and procedures that have made my life enjoyability factor incalculably higher. Very comfortable in 'splain'n thangs to me. I highly recommend his magnificent services and care.

I have had Dr. Sanam as my treating cardiologist for approximately the last year. He is kind, thoughtful and concerned about me. He has changed my medicines and that has resulted in my feeling much better. I would recommend him to anyone facing serious heart issues.

First time my husband saw Dr. Sanam, I am a current patient. He explains issues in great detail and easy to understand from a lay persons perspective. He allowed more than enough time to answer questions. We never felt that he was rushing off to another patient. Awesome!!!

This was my second visit. At my first visit Dr. Sanam explained my EKG graph. He told me all the possible treatments available. At the second visit an EKG showed the same A-fib. We decided to have the Echo TEE w/ Cardioversion test done the same day. Dr. Sanam performed the procedure himself.

Dr. Sanam is very knowledgeable, he communicates well, and has a whole person approach. I felt heard and understood. He made sure I had the necessary tests to fully capture my referring doctor's concerns and provide the right treatment plan going forward. I recommend him to anyone needing a cardiologist. The office has friendly and efficient staff.
