Dr. Rahul Mehrotra Reviews

Post-bypass follow-up - he remembered my fear of hospitals from months earlier and had his nurse meet me at the entrance to walk me through a quieter route. That small kindness meant more than any prescription.

My 90-year-old mother with dementia kept removing her pacemaker wound dressings. Dr. Rahul designed a special protective vest himself and taught our family distraction techniques. He cares for caregivers too.

Rare cardiac tumor in my wife - other doctors were hesitant. Dr. Mehrotra collaborated with oncology, radiation, and surgery teams to create a phased approach that preserved heart function. Two years later, she's tumor-free and running 5Ks.

My 82-year-old father's aortic stenosis was dismissed by two other cardiologists, but Dr. Mehrotra spent an hour explaining the transcatheter valve replacement in simple terms. His hands didn't shake once during the procedure, and Dad's now tending his rose garden again. That calm precision? Priceless.

Brought my 7-year-old for a fainting spell during soccer - Dr. Rahul actually knelt to her eye level, let her listen to his own heartbeat first, and diagnosed a harmless arrhythmia. He drew cartoon hearts showing how exercise makes them 'dance faster.' She now wants to be a cardiologist.

3 AM chest pain, rushed to Artemis. Dr. Mehrotra was there in 12 minutes - unshaven, in crumpled scrubs, but his focus was laser-sharp. Cleared a blocked artery without open surgery. That man works while the city sleeps, and he saved mine.

Just a routine cholesterol checkup, but he noticed my slightly uneven pulse no one else caught. Ordered a Holter monitor that revealed intermittent AFib. Started treatment before I ever had symptoms. This man sees what isn't even there yet.

My mitral valve repair was so complex three surgeons had declined it. Dr. Mehrotra used a novel minimally invasive approach - I was home in two days playing with my grandkids. The incision looks like a paper cut. Modern medicine feels like magic in his hands.

Follow-up after my heart attack - instead of just adjusting medications, he asked about my anxiety, referred me to a therapist, and even suggested gentle yoga poses. Treats the person, not just the EKG. That holistic approach healed more than my heart.

Emergency transfer from a smaller hospital with cardiogenic shock. Dr. Mehrotra's team had the cath lab ready before I arrived. He used a temporary heart pump I'd never heard of - 'Impella' - which stabilized me for surgery. His preparedness turned certain death into recovery.

Brought my teenage son complaining of 'weird heart flutters' during exams. Dr. Rahul diagnosed stress-induced PVCs, then spent 20 minutes teaching him breathing techniques. Didn't push medications first - understood it was about academic pressure, not pathology.

At 45, I was the 'healthy' one until Dr. Mehrotra spotted subtle EKG changes during a executive health check. Calcium score showed severe atherosclerosis. His early detection meant lifestyle changes instead of stents. He gave me decades I might have lost.

Athlete with mysterious fatigue - multiple doctors blamed overtraining. Dr. Mehrotra diagnosed anomalous coronary artery through advanced CT angiography. Fixed it with minimally invasive surgery. I'm back to marathon training thanks to his detective work.

International patient from Dubai - Dr. Mehrotra coordinated all consultations and tests in one day, provided detailed records in three languages, and even arranged video follow-ups across time zones. Medicine without borders.

Went in for palpitations, left with a repaired heart and cooking advice - he noticed my medication wasn't absorbing properly due to my vegan diet and adjusted both prescription and meal timing. Who expects dietary guidance from a cardiologist?
