Dr. Aguirre is a very capable doctor. I am totally comfortable with his knowledge and skill. I recommend him whenever I get a chance. 5 stars.

Dr. Kamlot performed cardiac bypass surgery within 1 week of unsuccessful angioplasty in June 2012. Almost 10 years ago and all has been good! Thank you, Dr. Kamlot.

I found Dr. Veeragandham to be an excellent surgeon and physician. He is very sincere and focused on the well-being of his patients. Informative and positive in his manner – he was a great doctor. In my case – he ended up performing an 8 hour surgery – 3 hours longer than expected – in order to...

I reviewed Dr. Khan previously, and I feel my emotional state was too fragile to be objective. Dr. Khan performed surgery on my husband in 2017. Although a difficult road, he was able to save my husband's life. The after-effects were devastating to our family. I would have appreciated more...

Dr Veeragandham, is very informative and knowledgeable about the Cardiac event my body was experiencing. Although, we originally wanted to perform a TAVR procedure to replace my Aortic Valve, we ended up with open heart surgery. This is because the aorta turned out to be damaged and needed...

Dr. Veeragandham gives top notch care. I had 5 bypasses, and a couple weeks later I was walking an hour per day. So far, I have had no complications and progress has been steady. His entire team and John Muir Cardiac is exceptional. All nurses, technicians, and medical professionals were...

I was diagnosed with severe heart disease, and Dr. Khan made me feel relieved when he explained how he would perform bypass surgery and valve replacement to treat me. He took time to describe how the procedure would help me, which put me at ease. The surgery went extremely well, and I have felt...

I was severely ill with cardiac disease. He took a great amount of time explaining my condition and the procedure to me and my family so that we could make a treatment decision that was right for me. He communicated well with my Primary Care Doctor, Pulmonologist, and Cardiologist. After going...

Dr. Veeragandham replaced my leaky aortic valve and my thin and enlarged ascending aorta on a Monday. The procedure went smoothly with no complications. I was walking on Tuesday and went home on Friday of that week. My recovery was quick and I began some gentle swimming at 5 weeks post surgery. I...

Had aortic valve replacement surgery by Dr. Ramesh Veeragandham. He is a skilled surgeon, as well as person. I am glad he was my surgeon, as every doctor I talked to about Dr. V all said he is the one of the best surgeons around. He has a great, gentle personality and was absolutely wonderful to...

Dr. Veeragandham replaced my aortic valve and part of my ascending aorta. I am incredibly grateful for my new lease on life. Even from my first day after surgery, I could feel the difference in the unstrained beating of my heart. I am now 17 days post surgery and well on my way to recovery. The...

In my opinion this the best Surgeon I have ever met. Dr V saved my life. I had 5 bypass CABG. My recovery was exactly as Dr V described it. He was very personable, concerned and on top of the situation even on his days off. Thank you Dr. Veeragandham.

This doctor is fabulous! I was admitted to emergency at 6:00pm, took all sorts of tests and consulted with Dr. Kamelot and into the operation room by 9:00pm. Out in a few hours and admitted to a hospital room soon afterwards. He’s efficient, pleasant, highly Competent and the best in my opinion....

As far as I am concerned Dr. Veeragandham is the best. From my first appointment through surgery (repair mitral valve) to post op appointment he was with me all the way. He prepared me for my surgery by explaining in detail what I should expect through the entire process. In addition to being an...
