    I know Dr. Karagadda has in the past gave great explanation in my care. My follow up was not going to be delayed again; so I sat in the waiting room for two and a half hours applying phone tag to be sure I was able to get the follow up with Dr. Mahajah scheduled because it should have been done back in July so Dr. Katragadda would be further in my care. Team work and communication is so important to quickly get cardiac care.

He is a very caring and thorough doctor with an excellent bedside manner. I will continue to see him as long as he is in practice, even if he leaves Emory.

    After having open heart surgery, I felt rushed through my appointment. Eye contact was null. Discussion or education of what steps and what life is come in future was none. Dr. K did not discuss the surgery that I had, he did not mention the fact that a descending aortic aneurysm was found and repaired during my Mitral Valve replacement. No discussion of complications of Seizures that occurred. I was asked If I need Rehabilitation vs. Provider recommending.This was a major surgery, a lot happened. I was in and out with adjustment to Metoprolol. New imaging ordered not sure why?$$$ I did not feel valued or cared about. I have had other surgery with Emory and providers were exceptional. I am disappointed with Dr K. Lastly, Pandemic is over. If a patient is unable to hear or understand what is being said maybe a different mask needs to be used.

    He was nice, but I don't think he was listening. When I showed up to my strees test the nurse who administered my test had a better understanding of what I felt I needed. With my concerns I don't believe I needed a stress test. ALSO with the medication I was prescribed. When I went to pick it up the pharmacy technician asked me what was my concerns and suggested I should take something else. What he prescribed to me, I'm not even sure my blood pressure was high during my visit.
