Best Doctors care i have ever received in my 80 years of life. Not enough superlative words to cover DR MAKKAR and staff.
Very friendly and punctual.
He listened to all my concerns, explained everything that the test that will be upcoming can’t say enough good things about him
Dr Makkar spent good time with us explaining Michael's condition and suggested treatment. He was thorough and answered all of our questions. We were very comfortable with the visit.
Extremely happy with the care I receive from AZ Heart Arrhythmia. They have done an outstanding job correcting my ejection fraction. I thought I was a at a point where nothing could be done. I am feeling better with more energy and my Ejection Fraction has improved substantially. Thank you for your World Class Service.
Dr. Makkar is Outstanding and I Truly appreciate His expertise
Dr Makkar and his staff are very compassionate and kind. They take the time to listen to concerns and thoughts while answering any questions that may come up.
Top shelf!
This doctor is very knowledgeable and explains things that I had for a while and no body pointed out. I thank him from my heart and wish him a happy Father's day
Always great care.
As always, Dr Makkar is a genuine, caring, and absolutely the most proficient in his field. We started out when I contracted A-fib and then an Amulet cardio version, ablation, several other procedures, resulting in a leadless pacemaker, and as always adr Makkar has treated me with genuine concern for my well-being and listens to any concerns I may have. He is the very best doctor I have ever had and I appreciate his support and care of me. He is the best!
He’s a very good Doctor
The staff was very professional and courteous. I was seen at my appointment time and did not have to wait. The doctor was very willing to spend a few minutes answering my questions and overall it was a very positive experience.
He was very thorough. He listened and answered my questions. He put my fears at ease. I would absolutely refer him.
My appt with Dr. Makkar was double booked for my time slot. Not only that, there were close to 15 people in the waiting room still waiting to see Dr. Makkar, if he had even arrived I don't know. I did the math and if 15 people got 15 minutes to see the dr I would be waiting almost 4 hours in a very small cramped waiting room. I left Dr. Swarup's practice because I had the same problem after my ablation, which was successful, I'm thankful & grateful for that. I feel they have no consideration for patients after the completed procedure, and those who are not able to wait 4 hours to see them. God forbid you are in distress. I felt like I was only a $ to them. Get a second opinion. I left the office without seeing the doctor. Thankfully I was only there for a medicine check that I will request from my primary care.
Dr Makkar is caring and a skilled doctor. I trust him completely with my care.
didn't see Dr. Makkar but Zack his PA seems very confident and knowledgeable
Dr. Makkar saw me in a reasonable time and answered all my questions.
I am totally happy with Dr Makkar Charles
From the start of my journey the get a pacemaker implanted to now has been the best. Kind, considerate of my and my wife’s questions, professional all the way. You guys are life savers! Everyone has been top notch. Thank you!
No nonsense, simply the best!
DR makkar provides excellent care. I highly recommend him if you have heart concerns.
