Dr. Sharad Bajaj, MD (CVI West Office)

I drove 40 minutes for my appointment. OK, I knew how far it was. I arrived early, checked in and paid my $50 copay. Sat for 30 minutes. I went to the counter. The woman says "oh, I have to drive 40 minutes to get here". I replied " you are paid to be here, I paid to be here", duh. They double and triple book these doctors. Another "patient mill". She then says "let me see if there's a room for you ". Why, so I can sit there and wait another 30 minutes. Here's a tip. Find out how long and give a realistic time frame. It's a cardiologist patient clinic. Exacerbating a patients condition by making them wait is ridiculous. BTW, this was my first appointment. I'm an Iraq/Afghanistan war veteran. If they called to apologize and assured me an on time visit I'd accept. They won't and could care less about my health issues. I Paid $50 to wait until I'd had enough. It'll be my last. They care about money, that's it.

I appreciate Dr. Baja's thorough approach and willingness to listen to me, his patient, considering my remarks and questions to be important.

Every one is super nice and very professional. Seem to really care about the patients.

We can't say enough about the dr and his staff . They are great .

CVI and Dr. Bajaj made my visit a pleasant experience. The check-in and check-out processes were easy, and the nurse and clerk were very professional. I underwent a couple of procedures at this location, and my fear of operating rooms was alleviated because of the professional staff.
