Patient Reviews
Oct 28, 2024
I cannot recommend Dr. Murali Dharan highly enough because he performed surgery on the most precious being in my life -my mother. As one of the top cardiology surgeons referred by my moms cardiologist, Dr. Dharan exemplifies the pinnacle of both skill and humanity. His years of experience and deep expertise are evident from the very first interaction, but it’s his kindness, patience, and dedication that make him extraordinary. Many hospital staff and patients have shared their unwavering confidence in him, saying they wouldn’t trust anyone else to care for their heart.Dr. Dharan has a rare gift for truly listening to his patients, understanding their fears and needs, and ensuring they feel informed and reassured through every step of the process. He takes the time to explain each part of the treatment plan, making complex medical procedures feel approachable and manageable. His attention to detail and genuine concern for each individual’s well-being set him apart . We are so grateful
