Patient
Dr. Deepa Upadhyaya single-handedly saved the life of someone very dear to me. She leveraged her extraordinary intellect, talent for critical thinking and problem solving, with her analytical capacity and impressive ability to obtain a detailed history. She gently opened this loved one's eyes to see that his symptoms were truly cardiac in nature and he could not ignore it. She then facilitated a comprehensive work up and compassionately guided him on the path to surgery and ultimate recovery. She is the consummate professional and frankly someone all cardiologists should aspire to emulate. I am a forever fan.
