Viral Mehta's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Mehta is very caring, thoughtful, easy to talk to and thorough. He is very experienced and well trained with a great bedside manor. I work in the medical field and trust him and his reputation, as well as a family member's experience

Patient for several years. OK for routine stuff, but office has issues. Lots of delays in diagnosis and treatment, and is behind the times in technology. As an example, they do not offer home monitoring on pacemakers, but others do here in Bakersfield. No sense of urgency - it's as though the staff has been instructed not to bother the doctors, to the detriment of the patient. I have moved to another cardiologist, and got as much done in one visit as I could in a month at CCVMC.

Dr. Mehta performed several cardiac tests in order to conclude a diagnosis and a plan of action. I explained in great detail my past history with cardiac ablation and EP studies and that my previous studies and wanted to know what my heart was doing. He never followed up with devastating news on my hear monitor. He never read my results and after four months I went back for an angiogram due to chest pain. He knows that should have been treating me for serious heart arrhythmia's! I will sue now.

Dr. Mehta has always taken good care of me and been very plesent.

Doctor was in a hurry to either get to lunch or start his weekend and maybe spent a total of five minutes with me. He appeared to not be familiar with my previous visit and diagnosis and wasn't interested in listening as I tried to quickly fill him in on what I felt were key issues. I have had major issues with an arrhythmia that has resulted in several visits to the emergency room and was given a diagnosis by the physicians assistant along with a prescription for a beta blocker for PSVT which was not addressed by him nor was the 30 day monitor results (the monitor alarm went off three times while I wore the devise and there was significant activity that should have been reviewed), but he was in too much of a hurry to be bothered by having to answer questions. And said that my heart was healthy and I should stop worrying. I guess I will keep that in mind the next time my arrhythmia sends me to the hospital. So very upsetting and beyond disappointing to have spent this time and money to end up with this kind of arrogant ignorance toward my very serious health concerns.

Worst experience with a doctor ever. Left during the middle of my appointment to answer a phone call, didn't pay attention to what I was saying, and held derogatory attitudes towards homosexuals.

In a hurry. I had to point things out to him. Felt like he didn't know about me or my health problems. Gave me no options. I walked out of his office not knowing what was wrong.
