Testimonial.

  • “As a volunteer firefighter I am required to have physical every year. I went to a walk-in clinic and the physician noticed I had a heart murmur. I was referred to Dr. Rao. [...] Most excellent service and I now have my father in law seeing him, he also speaks very highly of him. Dr. Rao is approachable, friendly and tells you things in a way you can understand. He is just wonderful”

    - Michael E.

  • “I literally credit Dr. Kang with saving my life! I have a rare autoimmune disease that was damaging my heart. He swiftly and aggressively diagnosed it and has overseen its complicated treatment. He genuinely cares about all aspects of your well being and actually listens to you. I and my family are so grateful and can’t say enough about him and Georgian Cardiology”

  • “I was surprised to find out from my family doctor that I had heart issues but when I was going to be referred to a cardiologist I knew I wanted to be referred to Dr. Shen as he is my husband’s cardiologist and he is very good. My husband uses a wheelchair and I was very happy that it was so easy to get a wheelchair parking spot right at the front door.”
