Balchandani Ravina MD

My cardiologist for 8 years. I cannot say enough good things about her. Excellent diagnostician. She devotes a great deal of time to her patients. She calls her patients personally to report test results, to understanding your lifestyle, and explaining tests and treatment. Friendly professional staff. I trust her completely with my care.

THE worst!!!! Don't even think about going to her. She's unethical, dishonest, rude...I could go on & on. My Mayo Clinic doctors didn't even want her reports because they were so inaccurate.

As most patients do I too read all the reviews before going to my appointment. In the reviews the good surpassed the negative , so I decided to give Dr B a fair try . I am so glad I gave this physician a chance ! Her staff were professional, caring and pleasant, but the doctor was PERFECT! She listened and she cared about why I was there . She only scheduled test that should be scheduled. I am very picky about my Physchians . Dr B checked all my boxes ! I will do the stress test , echo test and record blood pressure exactly how and when she wants it done . After I am finished I will feel completely confident in her diagnosis. Consider yourself lucky if Dr B is your cardiologist! Can't recommend her enough !

This is undoubtedly the most unprofessional Doctors office I have ever been to . The staff is hostile and very rude. I have never been treated so badly by a doctors office in my life! They make you feel like a criminal because of their inability to answer phones and cancel appointments . The billing dept is horrible and I cannot say that enough! Unfortunately the doctor does not care. The buck stops there! I had to reschedule an appointment which I did 4 days prior to the appointment. I had to leave a message on their message machine as no one ever answers the calls that come in to the office. When my appointment day came up they called me. I explained that I left a message canceling the appointment 4 days prior and that I could never reach a live person. She told me I did not have the pay the "$35.00" fee that they charge for no shows because she found my message. That was the first time she had checked the voice mail which I left four days prior. I have 3 letters from them with the final letter stating they would send me to a credit company. I pay all of my bills on time! My credit score is near perfect. They are trying to make me pay a bill that I do not owe. I have done everything I could do with the Dr. Office . I called each time they sent me a letter telling them that I rescheduled and had left them messages to cancel and also had been told that I did not owe their " no show fee"! I have called and left multiple messages each time. At two points I had receptionist call me back and typed an email to their billing department while I was on the phone to this girl in the billing dept. She never returned any calls or emails. Today my husband was in the office and the billing girl finally called. It's been months now. I explained the problem and told her I had tried to reach her at least 7 times. I told her I would not be back. She then hung up on me and never said she would remove the charge. Please be very aware if you go see this Dr. that they you will wait over an hour to see the Dr and if you have any problem whatsoever with billing they will treat you unprofessionally and belittle you. On top they will continue to bill you for bills that you do not owe. If I could rate this office any lower on the chart I would give it a minus 10. They try to keep you coming back scaring you about your heart and doing test after test. Then they screw up your billing and never answer the phones. This Dr. Is in Hilton Head SC

Office overcharged. Then stops appointment today for my husband because there is a bill in dispute when his hand swelled to 3 times the size and he went to another doctor for the swelling and had to cancel the stress test. They wanted 2 days notice. When your body swells and is damaged, you cannot tell your body to give you another day notice. Today they charged the copay but stopped my husband from his appointment. Horrible office.
