S. Poludasu, M.D.

Dr. Poludasu and his staff were very friendly and professional. They answered all my questions, and even tolerated my poor attitude for additional tests. My argumentative attitude was all on me. The staff didn't do anything wrong. I could have been nicer. I would recommend Dr. Poludasu. The 4 star rating instead of 5 was given to the time it took to get me out the door. 1 hour, 20 minutes from my appointment time. Maybe it took longer since it was my first visit. I still recommend this staff, Clinic, and hospital.

With all the great reviews I was confident going into my first appointment. It took a while which is fine, first with an EKG and nurse, then with the practioner that asked every question in the book (which is good!) and then the doc came in spoke to me for maybe 10 minutes. Decided it's not my heart, told me even though he doesn't think it's my heart he'll order the stress test and echo, and on the way out the door he tried blaming it on PMS. One appointment ended up costing me $292 AFTER insurance and financial assistance were applied. $150 and $350 charged simply for the appointment alone, not EKG included. Those charges will definitely keep me from being able to go back for any reason.

Everyone I saw that day was very helpful and professional. The lady I first saw had me verify my prescriptions and asked if I had any changes. She also did an EKG that was very quick. I then saw Dr Ps PA who went over some of my history with Dr Lim. I told her about any procedures that might not show up on Dr Lims notes. This included a Colonoscopy I had in April 2025. Then I saw Dr P. We discussed my history some and then asked if I wanted to still see a Cardiologist on a yearly basis and I said yes. I asked him if my cholesterol numbers were such that I could stop taking Simvastatin. We agreed that I will stop for 3 months and then in February 2026 take the Heart Calcium test to see if I can continue off the statin!

I am new to Dr. Poludasu. I have only heard good things about him and he didn't disappoint. He explained everything in a way I understood. Talked about my options, answered all my questions. Due to obligations at the hospital i was in form he would be late. NEVER once did I feel cut off or rushed for time. He is a very nice man and has a great bedside manor!

I can tell you that Dr. Poludasu and his PA were professional and a pleasure to visit with in every way. However, as a former professional tech of 35 years. I can't possibly give a fair review after only one meeting. I will have a much better opportunity after the follow-up in four months. Thank You.
