Orlando Health Heart & Vascular Institute - Dr. Phillips

Wow. I am totally floored by the service and care I received at my visit today. I had a scary experience that sent me to the ER earlier this week and was told to follow up with the cardiologists. I work at Dr. Phillips hospital so knew the office was here and made an appointment. I was given an appointment within two days off my ER visit which I couldn't believe. I thought it would take at least two weeks to be seen. When I arrived I was seen promptly and barely waited to be seen by Dr. Akram. He was very professional, understanding, and made me feel comfortable.  He wanted me to get some tests done and the schedulers were able to fit me in quickly and easily around my hectic work schedule. I cannot recommended this place enough and actually look forward to my next visit in two weeks!

Great service

Recently, I developed cardiac issues and chose Dr. Swathy Kolli, MD as my cardiologist.  I am so glad I did.  She took the time to answer all my questions.  She treated me like I was her only patient.  I ended up inpatient, and Dr. Kolli even called me on the phone when I had concerns about my procedure the next day.  I must say in a world where everything is quick paced, I am grateful that God put her in my life to take care of me.

Consistently the nicest employees I have ever encountered at a doctors office.  One day I went in with my friend and she was in so much pain.  She had been going through radiation and chemotherapy and had had major neck surgery AND was extremely nausea.  I explained all of this to the reception and they did everything they could to get her in and out as fast as possible. You treated us with professionalism and kindness. Thank you!

Back in the late 90's,  I needed a cardiologist for my mom and a good friend of mine recommend Dr. Israel Mantecon and the Orlando Heart Center at the Sand Lake office.  My mom liked Sand Lake Hospital (now Dr. P. Phillips Hospital) and Dr. Mantecon was associated with them.  I soon found out that he is Chief of Cardiology at the hospital as well at the medical director of Cardiovascular services too. Dr. Mantecon gave the best service he could to my mom at the time and now treats me.  I totally love his bed side manner and the reassuring feeling he gives me.  I feel he is one of the best doctors in the Orlando area.  His staff is friendly and always willing to help. My mom passed away in 2006 from her heart condition but Dr. Mantecon and the staff at Orlando Heart Center did everything they could to control and extend her life in the best way they could.  I now see them for my own personal heart needs and could not ask for a better group of people to help me. I have also seen Dr. Jose Lefran when Dr. Mantecon is not available and found his services also great.  I highly recommend the Orlando Heart Center's Sand Lake office.

Like The doctor. But had two test scheduled, when I arrived they told me that there would be 3 hours between test. Spent over six hours not able to eat or drink since the night before and expected to wait in their lobby the whole time.Had same procedure at different faculty prior and it was completed within three hours. Will not schedule any further appointments at this office.Several staff members were pleasant a few did not like their jobs and were unpleasant.

Worst experience ever. Never can reach anyone by phone. They just don't answer. Very discouraging. Disgusted with this practice. No excuse for ignoring their patients.

Take a day off work for appointment. Show up. Wait 30 min. Told they are behind schedule and need to have appointment rescheduled.
