Sanjay Yadlapalli, MD, F.A.C.C.

Dr. Yadlapalli is an extremely well trained and thoroughly methodical cardiologist who has been caring for me over many years. He is a very personable, kind and concerned physician. I am a retired physician and fully recognize the quality medical care he provides me. I would trust him with any of my family members, and in fact he provides care for my wife, also. I highly recommend him.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Yadlapalli and his staff. His staff was extremely professional and cordial. They made me feel comfortable during a stressful visit. Dr. Yadlapalli was very prompt in seeing me and thoroughly discussed my test results using easy to understand terms. He listened carefully whenever I spoke and showed true empathy about my concerns. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a cardiologist.

My experience with Dr. Yadlapalli was truly awful. In the two appointments I had with him, his rudeness led me to tears both times. When diagnosed with three leaking valves. One "trivial", one mild, and one mild to moderate, he told me it was no big deal and there's nothing to be concerned about. When I asked if it was concerning that I have so many symptoms accompanying my leaking valves and asked if that added any concern, he wouldn't listen to me, dismissed me, and when I expressed my concern that he wasn't taking me very seriously - emphasizing the caveat that I have a brother who had a heart attack at 31 and died of heart failure at 38 - he didn't even acknowledge the validity of my concern, completely ignored my family history and told me I could leave his office if I was going to be so rude and aggressive. I was speaking completely calmly and asking a sincere question. It was nuts. He also expressed irritation with me because I was struggling with side effects from the blood pressure meds I've tried. I am in a wheelchair and the weakness caused by meds have taken away the little bit of independence I have left. I have valid reasons to be cautious about the meds I put in my body. He seemed clearly irritated that I feel the need to research meds before blindly taking prescriptions. He also accused me of not taking the beta blockers he prescribed for my irregular heartbeat which he had never even mentioned. I said he had never even prescribed beta blockers for me. When he looked in my chart, he realized his error, but offered NO apology. When I tried to describe the symptoms I have been experiencing, he cut me off and wouldn't listen, even argued with me about what I described. I am dumbfounded by how I was treated by this doctor who otherwise has such glowing reviews. Needless to say I am in the process of getting a new cardiologist.

Dr Sanjay V Yadlapalli is caring and has concern for overall wellness. The staff at Twelve Bridges Roseville Cardiology reinforces this personal attention. Waleed Effendi, ENP, was checking my routine blood lab report the week before my 6-month checkup appointment. He noticed the low hemoglobin and consulted with Dr. Yadlapalli who agreed that my low hemoglobin was life threatening. Immediately Waleed phoned and advised me to go to the emergency room for blood transfusions. After ER scans, checks, and a two-unit blood transfusion, I was scheduled for a colonoscopy which showed an asymptomatic Stage Three cancer tumor. Without Waleed's detailed check and alert notice, this would have continued undetected. The office staff is friendly and extra helpful. Just before my scheduled colorectal surgery, the anesthesiologist wanted a cardiology clearance. I phoned Marina Sokolik, M.A. late on a Friday afternoon and she worked with P.A. Julie to send the necessary records to clear my Tuesday surgery. I am very appreciative for the extra personal care and support from Twelve Bridges Cardiology.
