Dr. Sami Baddoura, MD

I had a heart attack 5 years ago and recently moved to central Florida. I was referred to Dr. Baddoura and I could not be happier with the choice. I have been under the care of 2 other cardiologist, and I was very impressed with his care and desire to know what I had experienced, where I was in the care process, and what we can do to make it even better. Most impressed.

I came into the hospital presenting with AFib with RVR. HR 174-223. I laid in the hospital for 4 days maxed out on cardizem. Not one cardiologist would “touch me”. Scared that if they did a cardioversion, I’d “throw” a clot. Even though an echo showed no clots and my heart was otherwise perfectly healthy AND I was on blood thinners. Dr. Baddoura came in on the 4th day of me suffering through this AFib and not being able to breath and suggested a TEE and Cardioversion. The TEE confirmed there were no blood clots. He completed the cardioversion and BAM I was back to normal. now I’m fine. He explained my condition and exactly what he was going to do step by step. He made sure I was comfortable and aware of everything he was doing. Best cardiologist I’ve ever seen. He didn’t rush me out the door or make me feel like he didn’t have time for me as so many tend to do.

Dr Baddoura is very good at treating congestive heart failure, He was able to treat my husband successfully when when the hospital couldn't.
