Heart Institute of East Texas: Mani C K MD

I have been going to Dr Mani for better than 10 years . I have AFib. He is very good and his staff is to. My Wife goes there to. They see us at the same time. Great care and testing. J&K. .

Went in to take my Dad to see Dr Mani today! Very impressed that this little town has such a kind, practical and knowledgable cardioligist. His staff is so sweet and helpful... both his staff and especially Dr Mani, was wanting to listen and understand the symptoms and the situation to help my Papa... We highly recommend seeing Dr Mani of you're in this area... if not, it may be worth the drive. :-) Oh! They are located at the Memorial Hospital in Livingston... entrance is the attached building to the left of the main admissions entrance.

So I was scheduled as a new patient with this doctor because I need to have a cardiologist in charge of my care because I have a history of a heart attack and heart disease. So my doctor Dr. Woodrum's office referred me to this man. This and II'm going to use the term Dr. loosely because by definition a doctor Takes vows to care for their patience take care of them under all circumstances. So this doctors office calls me and tells me that as a first-time patient they are going to see me on video. I have never seen this doctor I have never met him he has never done a physical assessment on me or any testing and he wants to do a video chat with me. So I proceeded to ask the office personnel then how is he going to do at the physical assessment on me when you go to see a cardiologist or a specialist of any kind is because you were having An issue that your doctor feels you need to see a specialist for. You cannot do a physical assessment on a person by video and you cannot see a first-time patient that you have never seen without doing a physical assessment. So I canceled that appointment and I will not be seeing a cardiologist or any Doctor Who is so afraid of COVID-19 that they don't want people to come into the office we have had worse diseases than this this is a political ploy and although Covid 19 is very real it is being used on a political agenda. And if you are a healthcare professional especially a doctor that specializes in a discipline in the healthcare field you need to get over your fear or you need to get out of the profession because you cannot doctor and be afraid at the same time. And my first question to any other doctor that I go to is going to be are you afraid of COVID-19 and if you are then you don't need to be my Dr.

Dr. Mani and staff cared for several members of my family for many years. We could not be more pleased with every aspect of care from him and all of his assistants.
