I recently started seeing Dr. Aloka. Felt like I needed to post because I had the exact opposite experience as the other review. I have visited both the Bloomfield Hills office and the Clarkston office. The staff was very kind and friendly at both locations. New patient check in at the Bloomfield Hills office was fast and efficient. There was a short wait checking out at BH, but that is totally reasonable in a busy office. Also have to add that Dr. Aloka took his time with me, he sat down, was not in any rush. He provided me with a lot of information, in terms that I understood, not typical doctor talk. Also, I don't know him personally, but his demeanor was very warm & kind. Genuinely felt like he cared about my well being and the best path for me to take.
I was referred to this clinic by my PCP to rule out a cardiac issue. I was seen by Dr. Nair and he was absolutely wonderful. He handled my heart and accompanying anxiety with expertise and compassion. I left the office feeling a whole lot better than when I walked in!
(Dr. Gjeka) Very caring, professional and very easy to talk to and answering questions. I feel very comfortable and at ease .I would highly recommend him to anyone. I was very lucky to have him as my cardiologist.
Doctor D, has been taking care of all my cardio and vascular needs for 20 years. I had a stent placed in my heart as well as all of the aftercare and testing needed to keep me heart healthy. I trust him with my life. Dr. D is highly a highly skilled surgeon as well as a calm, sure, friendly presence, in what can be some of the most frightening times of your life. He is the best. There is no since in looking any further.
Dr DEGREGORIO Is by far the BEST cardiologist He has been my doctor for over 20 years He is the kind of doctor that Cares. He does testing that is only necessary. He listens to you and explains his procedures and test results. His staff is very kind.
Fantastic doctor! He (Dr. Aaref Badshah) very clearly cares about his patients! Additionally, he was spot on in my initial appointment and very knowledgeable. Office is easy to find. When hospitalized, he came in on rounds and highly attentive. Excellent job referring me out to other docs for possible procedures that are a tad complicated. If you are having electrical issues with your heart, he is a great fit for your needs.
Dr Halabi saved my life and since then have provided me with the kind of care that I know I deserve. I appreciate him so much.
I wanted to share how wonderful my experience has been with Dr. Loree, Jenni Tinsley and Jan at CAVA. I was diagnosed with an unexpected serious heart condition and have had all of my follow-up care with Dr. Loree and her associates. Not only has Dr. Loree been an amazing medical professional, but has been an amazing advocate for my medical situation. She is caring, understanding, a phenomenal listener and a genuinely caring individual. I have had a very difficult time with my new diagnosis and she has shown compassion at every step. Her assistant Jenni has been the most amazing administrative advocate helping me navigate my way through the disability process and always responding immediately to not only my needs and inquiries, but has also shined in her efficient and prompt response to the disability and leave companies that I have been dealing with. Jan has also intervened at some key points where I had questions and was more than happy to spend the time updating me and explaining things to me. Dr. Loree’s office staff has been top notch also, providing me with medical update letters every time I am there. Her nurse assistants and teaching assistant have been wonderful and caring also. If you need assistance now or in the future with a cardiac issue or diagnosis, this is the Dr. and the team to seek out. It seems so many people just don’t really care about individuals anymore, but this team goes above and beyond and makes you feel like you are cared for, cared about and that you are a human being with real issues that they definitely advocate for in the highest and most professional regard. Keep doing what you do Dr. Loree and your fantastic team as it makes a difference in people’s lives, and it has certainly made a difference in mine! Thank you again for your excellence in care!
Dr. Halabi and Dr Nair are top notch doctors in their perspective fields! I went on a heart journey last year that I never thought I would face. With their knowledge, wisdom and expertise I found out very quickly how much they truly care about you as a person, your health and making sure you are healed and living your best life ever!! You may have to wait a little for your appointment time but this only because they care so much about each patient, you are treated with the upmost respect, they explain everything to you, every step of the way. The kind of care they gives requires time and they make sure you are given the chance to ask questions, or if you have any concerns to be able to talk about it. When you leave your appointment you are beyond equipped to take the next step in your heart health. I am beyond grateful for their excellent excellent care and the time they give of themselves as caring doctors to better your life. I am forever thankful that they are my doctors moving forward in my continued heart health journey. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I am in the very best care ever and that I truly trust them with my life!!!! That is priceless and I’m blessed beyond measure!! The staff there is amazing!!! They are very well organized and work so well together for you as a patient. They are all kind. They provide a friendly warm atmosphere!! I love love love the Bloomfield Hills office!! Thank you to everyone there!!
I cannot recommend Dr. Gjeka highly enough. As a cardiologist, he is exceptionally knowledgeable and skilled, and his dedication to his patients is truly impressive. He took the time to listen carefully to all of my concerns. Highly recommend!
As someone who suffers from chronic heart failure and has undergone multiple open-heart surgeries I can tell you that these guys are the best among the best. Not only are they extremely thorough, I believe they have your best interest at heart. If you ever need anything from their office contact Chris T. He takes care of your needs same day and is a pleasure to speak with. Actually, the entire staff is amazing. The physicians and their P.A's are highly qualified and really do care about you. If you are in need of a new cardiologist I recommend that you schedule an appointment with this office. Good luck and take care.
I have been treated by Dr. D since 2002 when I was admitted to St. Josephs hospital with a heart attack. Since then, I have experienced vascular problems that have required stents for pain free walking. He is an outstanding cardiologist, who I have recommended to everybody expressing concerns about their heart health. I can not even imagine a more thorough, competent and intelligent cardiologist then Dr. D. Since saving my life in 2002, I have been here to witness 1 daughter graduate college, 2 daughters marry and the birth of 6 grandchildren; events and emotions that I would have missed had it not been for Dr. D. HE IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!!!!
Caring cardiologist.
Dr Aloka is great! He is caring and knowledgeable. I actually switched from another cardiologist to him a couple of years ago, and I am glad I did that. Great bedside manner and skills (he is interventional; so skills really matter!).
I've been a patient of Dr. Nair for over a year and have absolute faith in his skills and knowledge. He takes time to listen to you as a patient, in fact my first appointment with him lasted over a 1\2 hour. He wants to know you as an individual, not just a face, and that gets high marks in my book. My son-in-law has worked with the physicians of CAVA for years on a professional level and in his opinion, CAVA is one of the best if not the best cardiology practice in the Detroit Metro area.
Outstanding service in all parts of procedures and client experience. Had to complement all employees I was in contact with. My wife and I had a lengthy discussion on how outstanding the office staff and technicians were. Truly pleased with all parts of experience. New patient and this was first contact with your employees.
Dr. Halabi is very good with patients, I am a very nervous person, and he makes me feel relaxed. He explains everything so it is easy to understand. I would recommend him to my family and friends 100%
I had a pacemaker installed and ablation done with Dr.B (Badshah) on March 22nd and 23rd. Dr B. is very caring and considerate. His surgical group was super and all seemed to work very well together to provide the greatest care. He is an amazing and compassionate dr. He’s a very good listener and explained any questions I had before and after the above procedures. Thank You All !!!!!
(Dr. Hasan) Very calming and thorough...very easy to talk to
The best cardiologist in the United States work at CAVA. Dr. Kirit Patel sets the standard. If you've tried the rest, you know Kirit Patel is the best!
Dr.. Kate is my hero. I've been going to her for over seventeen years. She got me through a VERY difficult time. It was her patience and dedication that saved my life, that I'm sure of. She is never too busy to listen and talk things over with you.. I love going to see her. Her staff is always friendly and helpful. I would give her ten stars but only five are available. Love Her!!!!
(Dr. DeGregorio) Very competent with a great professional and caring attitude with his patients. He explains condition and makes every visit a positive experience.
To begin with Dr. Nair is very knowledgeable and super intelligent in many matters but most importantly, his field of expertise. Something he does that most in his field don't is explain in detail everything pertinent to your situation. He also is super friendly. Been to many Doctors and wish they were all like him
Dr Loree has performed multiple procedures on me over the last few years. She always takes the time to explain why she needs to do a procedure. She never rushes you during your appointment. She is exceptionally kind and considerate. I came to her after difficulties with my prior cardiologist. She reviewed all the tests and came to a different conclusion. I would recommend her to anyone especially if you are a diabetic like me
Dr. Badshah is personable, very easy to work with and explains your conditions very well. He explains treatment options, and is truly very kind. I left his office knowing I was in the best of care. I highly recommend him, and I would not go anywhere else. I feel he is truly an expert in his field.
In 2015 Dr. DeGregorio placed a stint in my sister's heart after she had congestive heart failure earlier in the year. My sister was in and out of surgery within an hour. Now six years later my sister is still doing well and I believe that part of that is due to the excellent care she received while a patient in St. Joseph Hospital and being fortunate enough to have a top heart surgeon like Dr. DeGregorio. I know that if I ever needed any type of heart surgery I would want Dr. DeGregorio to perform it. He's the best
Dr. Nair and his staff were outstanding. They made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in the door. Dr. Nair listened to my concerns and wanted to look at both the long and short term treatment options for me. Maria helped me schedule an MRI with Beaumont before I ever walked out the door. I would highly recommend the office to anyone.
Being in our later years in life..... We have never experienced the Personal Service coming from a Doctor. Dr Halabi, is all of that and more! He is knowledgeable, compassionate and caring. We feel very comfortable, being in his care. We just can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr Halabi and Dr Badshah! They are a credit to their Profession and CAVA as well! I highly recommend them to anyone with heart issues!
From the first time I phone to make an appointment I was impressed. The front office staff is friendly and efficient. Dr. Nair took the time to listen to my concerns and made me feel that I was truly being heard. I am confident that he will the reason (s) for my issue and then treat me appropriately. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a physician. Thanks to all!
Dr K Patel is an outstanding cardiologist. Saved my fathers life 24 years ago and kept him heart healthy since. I have since become his patient as well. He is extremely knowledgeable, talented and passionate. He is a busy doctor with good reason. I would and do refer him to those dearest to me.
Dr Halabi seems like family. Very friendly polite knowledgeable. He also has a nice beard. Dr Halabi did a heart catheter surgery on me. Saved my life. I go now for 6 month check ups. It’s more like visiting family. He tells it like it is and doesn’t let on that he’s an expert at what he does. Seems very humble. There really are not enough space for all the great things that are true of him. Excellent doctor fantastic staff. Never had a problem with anything at the office or hospital concerning Dr Halabi or his staff.
Dr. Halabi is an excellent cardiologist! He takes the time to explain your condition and answer questions. He actually looks at you when speaking, not at a computer. He's kind and compassionate and thorough! I plan to be a patient for life! Thank you to Dr. Halabi and his team!
I have been going to him (Dr. DeGregorio) for quite some time and have trusted him with my care. I would recommend him highly.
You’re the “best of the best!” I’m blessed, fortunate and proud to have you for my doctor. You’re an excellent cardiologist who is kind, caring, warm and friendly. You will always be one of my favorite people.
Dr. DeGregorio takes time to explain procedures and tests and what they mean. He takes time to answer questions and is very patient. I always feel like I am going to be alright when I leave his office, and to me, that is priceless. I suffer with anxiety and panic disorder as well, so I find him reassuring and helpful and that means a lot to me. I needed to re-post this as I forgot to leave my name, the first time. I trust this Dr. and look forward to my appointments with him and the staff, who are really great people and very caring. Thank you, Dr. DeGregorio.
Dr. Halabi was extremely personable and thorough. I felt he truly cared about my health and understood my medical condition. The staff were very thorough and helpful. I highly recommend!
Such an amazing doctor!! Really looks at the body as a whole and understands that our organ system is interconnected. Also offer a holistic approach (like diet change/meditation) to issues that don't always require medication rather then shoving meds in your face like a lot of doctors do. Took time to listen to me and understand exactly what I'm going through. I would 110% recommend this doctor. Ill add that the staff is super awesome too!
He's (Dr. DeGregorio) been my Dr.for 16 yrs. Wouldn't chang for anything. Saved my life. Careing and smart whatever the problem he'll find it and fix it!!!
My husband and i couldn't be anymore pleased then we are with our experience coming to see Dr. Nair, from the moment of making the appointment with Carla to seeing him and checking out after. I was almost in tears leaving, because i was so impressed with my experience , Dr. Nair sat in the office with us and just spoke to us in language that we could understand (non medical term), he didn't seemed rushed he spent the most time I've ever had with a Dr. Thank you Cardiovascular and Vascular Associates for the best experience we've had to date!!
Dr. Halabi has been my cardiologist for 11 years. He listens to what I have to say. He is very caring!
A wonderful experience with Dr. Badshah and the team. at CAVA. He took time without rushing to explain everything in great detail and discuss options. His expertise and patience with the patient (me) was greatly appreciated.
There always fast polite treat patients with respect and have always been honest with me. I can’t see how a Doctors Office could be better. Dr Halabi is one of the fine Physicians at this practice. Enough can’t be said about him he is the nicest person you would ever want to meet plus he’s a doctor an extremely good doctor and could be your doctor. Dr Patel is extremely well qualified and very nice also. I may be a bit biased as Dr Halabi is my cardiologist and Dr Patel is my wife’s but we couldn’t be happier with them. The office has more well qualified cardiologist’s that all treat there patients like people not numbers. I highly recommend this office if you have heart issues.
Awesome Heart Doctor, awesome pleasant staff. Pleasure to talk to staff. Knowledgeable and understanding. I highly recommend! 10 Star rating in my book!
Wonderful!! His caring and helpful ways go way beyond a doctor’s care. He definitely “looks out” for his patients in every medical sense of the word. An excellent cardiologist!
This was my first visit with Dr. Patel. The staff was warm and friendly. Dr. Patel was great. He listened intently to my history and charted out a course of action. He did a great job of explaining things and didn't hesitate to tell me what I need to be doing to take good care of myself. I am grateful I found him!
In appreciation of your talent and dedication-Dr. and his whole staff! Thank you very much!
Dr. Badshah is more than incredible. I have 3 rare diseases and he has always held my hand through every battle. He truly values your opinion, fears and suggests multiple treatment options. He is always very reassuring, doesn't sugar coat and will fight for you hard to get you where you need to me. I had an emergency after surgery and he dropped everything to be by my side for multiple hours. Dr. Badshah has been a huge part of my path in life, and allowed me to be a normal 22 year old.
Dr. Halabi talks to us and he listens to us. No matter what questions we have he answers on our level of understanding. On top of being an outstanding Doctor he is KIND and nice to be around.We thank God he is our Physician.
Absoutely love Dr. Patel and all members of his staff. Everyone is friendly, kind and patient with everyone and very efficient.
Thank you for caring for me. Thank you also for taking time during office visit and not making me feel like a number.
Dr. Halabi is a wonderful cardiologist and a wonderful person. He is a professional and yet he also touches the human side of things. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!
Coming to you as an emergency patient, I have been extremely happy with the care I have received from you. Years ago my wish was to live to see the year 2000-I made that. Now my wish is to be a millionaire…Thank you!
I am very appreciative of your time, competence & skill in all you do. It is always a positive experience as a patient to be under your care. Thanks for always being available & ready to help!
Excellent initial consultation. Dr Nair took the time to understand me and my concerns, then more time explaining my condition (in a manner I could understand). He answered all my questions and worked out an interim treatment I'm happy with. Refreshing to see a doctor that actually talks to you and involves you in your own treatment.
The staff and Dr. Patel are extremely professional, helpful and caring. They are by far at the top of their profession and I feel extremely fortunate to have them caring for my health.
