Kavisha B Patel, M.D. FACC FHRS

Dr. Patel's advice to stop my medication resulted in an ER visit. I have a history of SVT and had a previous ablation for it. However, I told her I was still experiencing SVT and showed her evidence of this from my Apple Watch. She dismissed me, saying this is not a medical device, which I understood. However, she condescendingly told me I did not need ANY treatment and could stop my medication immediately. She told me "I would suggest following up with your PCP about anxiety." I took all of her advice and had, not one, but TWO SVT episodes in one morning and had to be converted back to normal rhythm by paramedics TWICE. If you've never had to be converted with adenosine, trust me, you don't want to! I will be restarting my meditation and may get another ablation from another EP. This experience was very disheartening for me - a patient with previous history of SVT - as I was dismissed and gaslighted by Dr. Patel. She would not listen when I told her I was NOT anxious at all during these episodes, and now I have proof that I still have SVT from the paramedic's EKGs. If you are considering seeing Dr. Patel for your heart problems, don't. Find a better Dr.

Dr. Kavisha Patel provided me with a scrupulous, detailed diagnosis of the issues affecting and afflicting my heart and specifically its arrhythmias. She was thorough, kind, and professional and did not minimize discussing possible risks in procedures that potentially could benefit my heart. It was good to be in her company and hear her advice.

I'm doing well after my procedure performed by Dr. Patel. I just had my 3 month follow up with her and we discussed what the possibilities are for the future, as far as blood thinners or another type of procedure if I decide to move on from blood thinners. I am very grateful for her work.

Dr. Kavisha B. Patel, M.D., FACC, FHRS, is a specialist in Electrophysiology and Cardiovascular Disease with Sutter Health whose expertise and skill are truly exceptional. Just as noteworthy is the kindness, patience, and genuine compassion she brings to every interaction. Her staff upholds the same high standards- professional, attentive, and consistently caring. I highly recommend Dr. Patel and her team.

Dr. Patel is a very good cardiologist who I have been seeing for over a year. She's got my afib in check, for which I am truly grateful. I would have given her 5 stars, but her schedulers and/or her PAs seem to manage to leave me waiting in a room forever it seems, waiting for some follow up w/a PA; they seem somewhat disorganized. But if you need treatment for afib, as I did with ablation, then Dr. Patel's your go to doc.
