Dr. Mehta performed my angioplasty with remarkable precision. Within 3 days I was walking again. He explained every step clearly and made me feel genuinely cared for — not just another case file.
After two failed procedures elsewhere, Dr. Mehta's team diagnosed the root cause in a single session. The ablation was successful on the first attempt. My heart hasn't skipped a beat since.
TAVR at my age felt terrifying. Dr. Mehta walked our entire family through the procedure, risks, and recovery plan. His patience and transparency made all the difference. I'm back to yoga now.
