      I first met Dr. Narula in May. Dr Narula is awesome! He explained everything to me completely. I have been a heart patient for 56 years and Dr. Narula is the best I have ever seen. He tells you how it is not what you want to hear. He is positive and upbeat as well as easy to understand. If you need an EP he is the best.

      Dr Narula is kind and patient. I feel like he listens to me and takes my concerns seriously. I appreciate how thoroughly he searches for an answer. His office is always booked and it takes a long time to get an appointment but it is worth it because he is great to work with. He also works well with my primary care doctor which is a plus!

      Dr. Dhiraj Narula

      Dr. Narula is wonderful, he takes his time to talk to me and explain everything thoroughly. I never feel rushed. I feel he takes my concerns seriously and checks everything meticulously. The only difficult part is that he has an incredibly packed schedule so it can be a wait to get to be seen at times. But considering the care versus the wait time, I think it's worth it.

      Dr. Narula takes the time to explain what is going on in your heart. Spent a great deal of time educating me on the effects of long term a-fib on the heart and some temporary remedies through cryo-ablation. He and Dr. Ahmed took care of it at Mt. View hospital.

      Dr. Dhiraj Narula

      Yesterday, Dr. Narula performed a heart ablation on my mom, who is 80 years old. I asked to speak to him with several questions before the surgery and he answered all of them for me. The ablation was successful. I can't thank Dr. Narula enough for taking care of my mom, Kaz. Excellent doctor! Thank you!!!  

      Patient

      Dr. Dhiraj Narula

      Dr. Narula is an amazing physician. He is kind, professional, knowledgeable and can calm your fears while he lays out a step by step plan of treatment. His staff is equally professional and efficient. It is obvious how well respected he is in the medical community of Las Vegas as you only have to mention his name to another doctor and their attitude changes immediately. We are so grateful that he is my husband's cardiologist.
