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.

Doesn't Care
Very Poor. Spent 4 minutes with my wife then prescribed her Beta Blockers. He gave her zero explaination and no drug paperwork. After reading on her own my wife was very upset to learn the contra-indiacations and side effects. We spent an hour fighting thru his staff to get him to call us. We will continue trying to reach him. Doesn't care.

I'm forever grateful Dr. Chalasani saved my husband's life. After that though, for 14 yrs, he got nothing but long wait times, & 3-5 minutes at best. Aside from the normal cardiac tests, we only got NEEDED additional needed tests & procedures we asked about. One of these tests revealed an 85% blockage. He avoided another heart attack bc of a test we pushed for after complaining for months of fatigue. He'd developed Afib in 2017, but was told "You're on Eloquis & everything's good." We were told next to nothing about his conditions. We left the practice after the 85% blockage issue, & learned there's a lot more going in than we knew. I'm happy people seem to be getting answers in the 5 min. appt time they get, & staff have improved. But I highly recommend a 2nd opinion. We learned more with our new Cardiologist in 1 appt than we did in 14 yrs. Just one sit-down 20 min. conversation was so educational, but that conversation should have happened 14 yrs ago. I hope his staff has improved. I was lucky to get a call back that wasn't rude. Now, I can call the Cardiologist at any time. We've been gone from the practice a year now. It was the hardest, but best decision we ever made. I do know they don't miss us. Heart disease is serious. It deserves more than 5 minutes, & most of that is listening to his rapid, unintelligible dictation. But there's hundreds waiting, every day.

Compassionate
He is patient when you explain your concerns. He is very thorough. The nurses are terrific. The office staff moves fast with paperwork. Considering I was with a previous cardiologist I loved.I was hesitant to start with someone new. Dr. Chalasani was highly recommended.From day 1 I felt at ease, and safe.

Very likely!!!
The best; he put in two stents (in May 2023) that were 100 per cent blocked and was cautious to do them 1 day apart since I had just had hip replacement. He is brilliant. My recent appointment was his last of the day and I’m sure he was ready to end his day; it’s amazing how many people he see’s in one day. it was brief and rushed, but I did get my questions/worries answered.

SIMPLY THE BEST
Dr. Chalasani is THE BEST and believe me, I know 1st hand what is the Best. Ive had cardiac concerns for over 23 years. When i lived in Ft. Lauderdale I was followed by the head of Cardiology at Broward Hospital. By the time I got to Port St. Lucie i was very well versed in all aspects of heart related problems. Dr. Chalasani relates to each and every patient on an individual basis. He will explain in detail, if that is the patient's need or he will give patients with more knowkedge a little more in depth explaination. He never makes u feel rushed or hurried. Is willing to answer any and all questions. Part of what makes him even better is his office staff. They show genuine concern and are ALWAYS extremely helpful. Again, u are never felt rushed. There is sometimes a little bit of a wait because of some patients needing more time than others, but everyone is given their time with him to have all their questions answered. There is no one else in this area, i would even think to see

A TERRIFIC TEAM SAVE MY LIFE THANK YOU ALL
DR CHALASANI SAVED MY LIFE BY HIS MEDICIAL CALCULATIONS, STRESS TEST, AND QUICK RESPONSE TO A 93 PERCENT BLOCKAGE THAT WAS THREATING MY LIFE. OF COURSE THE HEART SURGEON AT THE FORT PERCE FL HOSPITAL DID FANTASTIC WORK VIA TRIPLE BY PASS PROCEDURES. THIS SPECIALIST HAS SINCE RETIRED AND WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED AS AN EXPERT IN HIS FIELD.

Extremely rushed. He listens to respond…..rather than listen to hear what his patients have to say Been waiting for a return call regarding a bill….never get a real person. Always a recording. For two months I have left messages…no return calls. Done with them

Five stars normally but not today!!Apparently when on vacation no other Dr. Covers for him. This resulted in my wife's surgery being postponed from July 9th to September 10th because theirs no Doctor to read the EKG which is required by the surgeon......That's two more months of bad knee pain. I can't say what I'm thinking......Joe FAGGIONE,,,

Waiting room is always booked for the doctor's convenience. Doctor will not listen and only wants to run tests for $$$$. When I needed him he failed me. This place is run to maximize profits without concern for all its stakeholders, especially patients. Avoid this practice.
