After 4 visits to the er in 6 months the VA assign me to Dr Sara Mankin. Upon my first appointment and reviewing my medical history she referred me to Dr Otahbachi. After reviewing my medical history Dr. O scheduled me for an angiogram. Turns out I had a widow maker... LDA 90% blocked. These two by the grace of God literally saved my life.

Dr. Otahbachi takes care of my husband. He’s really great! I’m a long-time nurse so I’m very picky with who I will allow to take care of us. He’s very thorough.

I have a low pain tolerance and a high anxiety of medical procedures due to medical trauma from years ago. Dr. Otabachi dealt with me in a very kind, gentle and compassionate way when I needed an angiogram and possible stent. He did everything in his power to comfort me and did the procedure in a way that minimized my anxiety. He is highly skilled. I am very thankful that he is my doctor and I recommend him to everyone who is looking for a cardiologist.

One of the Best cardiologist you Will find. Never rushes you during your visits, excellent bedside manors. My last visit, he suspected something wrong, scheduled me for a nuclear stress test,I had no chest pain. The test was a Friday, the Dr. Called me late night to check on me. I had two blocked arteries, told me to come in Monday AM. He scheduled me for a Angioplasty and installed two stents. He saved me from having a Heart attack. Excellent Doctor and Person.

Since my late night major heart attack in late February 2018, Dr. Otahbachi has been a sincerely caring physician. Having 100% blockage in my LAD and an emergency trip to the Cardiac Cath Lab, he has been most attentive and kind. He always came to visit me in the CICU with a welcomed smile and positive attitude. Since then, I have visited with him in his office and this same professionalism and sincerity has continued. I completely and totally would recommend him to anyone seeking cardiac care.

Dr. Otahbachi is a very good cardiology doctor. He took care of me through a bad spell which included bypass surgery. He is humble and intelligent and was very down to earth when talking me through treatment. I appreciate him as courteous professional and thank him for his help.

Dr Otahbachi is the best Cardiologist in my book. He is very easy to deal with and made my experience very easy. I know he saved my life and I trust him in everyway. He explains everything you need to know in a way that you can understand. He is very professional in the way he treats his patients and makes sure you don't leave with any unanswered questions. I would recommend him to anyone.
