Dr. Sandhya Dhruvakumar, MD

Dr Dhruvakumar called several times to address all this and to help me. I would like to change my review, but this site is not working properly (won't send a code to let me complete an account set up which they require to revise a review). She's an excellent Dr and has plenty of time for questions when her schedule allows. Please ignore my previous review. Five stars

Dr. Dhruvakumar took care of me when I was in the hospital for sudden A Fib. She took great care of me for 1 week while I was hospitalized. I was told by her and in my Stamford Hospital discharge instructions to follow up with her “within 1 week”…she verbally told me it was imperative I see her in one week tops and it was written in my discharge papers however I cannot get into see her for 5 weeks…after explaining, complaining, speaking to a very rude fresh office manager all I received was an attitude and no help…after 2 days of phone calls and a call to Stamford hospitals patient relations nothing not even a call back. If you cannot trust a doctors staff to care for the patients needs then you cannot trust the dr either. Terrible way to treat a sick patient and his scared family. Shame on them for not being compassionate and attentive to a sick man. I give zero stars!

I found the doctor to be good however her staff is chronically incompetent and rude, therefore due to the undue stress brought on by her staff, and the doctors’ unwillingness to acknowledge or even consider her staffs’ unprofessional demeanor, I have sourced another cardiologist/ Electrophysiologist. My heart needs much better care than to be subject to the overall deplorable and stressful treatment I received.

Dr. Dhruvakumar intervened during a life-threatening crisis at Stamford Hospital one year ago, when she performed emergency heart surgery, with implantation of a cardiac defibrillator. I survived all this, under her superb care, and I have been able to resume my regular life. Since that day in August, she has carefully monitored my recovery and progress. She is a most caring and expert cardiac electrophysiologists, for which I am eternally grateful.

Dr. Dhruvakumar performed an ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation on me in March of 2014. The procedure was a success, and overall, she was a pleasure to interact with. Other reviews I have seen of her praise her for her communication skills, as well as the fact that she spends enough time with her patients to explain things well, and I wholeheartedly agree with both points.
