Good Doctor, Awful Administration
I was very impressed with Dr. Godara and his knowledge. I came away well informed and optimistic that he would be able to help.The next step was for his staff to follow up with me to schedule a study. It has been a month and his office has not even reached out to me to schedule the date. Nor have they EVER returned any of my phone calls as to the status of this treatment. (This is a pattern of theirs - it took me over 4 months to schedule my first visit with him b/c the office lost/misplaced the referral and never once returned calls regarding scheduling.)

finally, a doctor who cares
I have had several doctors tell me that I have a heart murmur and done absolutely nothing about it. Dr. Godera also told me about it and asked if I had any symptoms. I told him that I get very short of breath lately, so he suggested that I call my cardiologist , I did and he told me to walk for about 15 minutes everyday. I did, but it didn't help. Went back to Dr. Godera and told him about it. He was very concerned and ordered an echocardiogram , to be read by my cardiologist. I had it done and the very next morning, he called me with the results. The test showed that I had moderate to severe aortic stenosis ! He suggested that I immediately call the cardiologist and get an appointment with him. He was going to see me in "about a month" until I said that Dr. Godera was concerned and wanted me to get an appointment much sooner. Got an appointment next Tuesday. If it hadn't been for Dr. Godera's concern and caring, this condition would have gone unnoticed and ignored. Thank you !

Given a recent weight loss, I met with Dr. Godara to review the current settings on my BI-PAP machine and to determine if a new sleep study was warranted. I was comfortable with his recommendations. His team's follow-up was quick and professional.
