Cardiologist (Televisit available) - Siva Sontineni, MD |Radiant Heart & Vascular Care

Dr. Sontenini was called in to address my husband's cardiac event while he was an inpatient at TX Health Presby Hospital Denton 12/04-12/07 recovering from an unrelated endoscopic procedure. Dr. Sontenini performed a cardiac cath which showed a major blockage in the LAD, and he put in 2 stents successfully. He is a very caring physician and I feel he most likely saved my husbands life. ***HOWEVER.* his office staff and woman at front desk are very unprofessional, uncaring, frustrating to say the least. It has been the most stressful time just trying to get them to do anything, said they didn't even have him as patient more than once even though we were in the office a week after the surgery !! The physician has requested my husband have an echocardiogram but they continue to ignore & refuse our request to have the order sent to the hospitals outpatient radiology. As of today , 12/31, The echo still needs to be done and we will not have it done at the office, despite their persistence. Our insurance will cover any diagnostic provider of our choice. We have left multiple messages for the physician but I do not think they are relaying to him. Not sure at this point who we need to contact but this issue needs resolution asap.

Have been seeing Dr. Sontineni since 2017. Very caring and thorough Dr. One of the best around DFW

I absolutely love Dr. Sontineni. From the first time I saw him a few years ago, to my last visit one week ago. He is extremely thorough and very professional. The thing I love most is that he listens to my needs and he cares about his patients. He has always made me feel like I am his most important patient he has. At least for the time I have with him. I would recommend Dr Sontineni to anyone. His staff that has taken care of me has always treated me just as the the doctor has. Brenda is so kind to me. If the doctor is running late, they will give me a call and let me know, giving me the option of coming a bit later, rebook my appointment or to wait.

We have been patients of Dr Sonteneni for about 4 years. He was the cardiologist assigned to my husband by the hospital when he was admitted for A-Fib. He worked with us to get Gary healthy by resetting his heart rhythm through cardio inversion. Dr Sonteneni has a calm presence and a gentle sense of humor. The humor is very important when dealing with us. My husband is now 78 and we noticed that he was experiencing episodes of extreme weakness and even occasionally loosing consciousness briefly cause by the fluctuations in his heart rate. The doctor recommended installing a pace maker to help stabilize his heart rate and improving his quality of life. Surgery took less than 1 1/2 hours and we were able to go home same day. We are about 10 day post surgery and he has minimal discomfort and is already showing improvement in his energy. I know there are doctors closer, but to me it is worth the drive to Denton to receive the quality of care that we have experienced.

Dr Sontineni is great! I met him on 2016 in the hospital and 2018. I seem him again today. The staff is great as well. He makes sure he finds out what ever the problem is before you leave. He is very patient and understanding.
