I realize that the wait time (in the exam room) until I saw Dr. Tadwalkar was lengthy, but I also know that when my visit with him begins, I do not feel rushed. I usually have lots of questions to ask, he always takes time and makes sure that I understand whatever information he has to share with me. This is very important to me.

Dr. Tadwalkar is an incredible partner in my heart health journey. He is knowledgeable, provides recommendations and information that are specific to my personal, family, and genetic history, and he is a superior listener. He is patient, caring, and gives me a suite of options that allow me to make thoughtful decisions. He is quite literally the best doctor I've ever worked with.

I trust this doctor completely. He worked on my heart at the hospital and he worked very hard to stabilize my heart. That's when I knew I wanted him as my cardiologist. I have recommended him to someone who wasn't satisfied with her doctor.
