I won't recommend this doctor to check out my dog's heart
Hey, Dr Mekala... My time with you always goes way too fast, and I didn't bring a list of 20 questions to ask. Next time! I have no clue how many patients you have, but I appreciate you each visit, and knowing you're there in-between, if needed. :)
Talked about my future health plans, which is good.
Best there is.
Make sure any changes to meds or new orders are understood by the client and the staff
Provider care about his patients.Explain answers to all my questions.
Thank You ALL!

Keep up the good job. How y'all do things now. You don't have to wait for hours and hours to be seen now. I like it. Nice staff also.

As far as I am concerned Dr. Mekala hung the moon. He has pulled me out of some tight spots more than once.

DR.MEKELA ...is one of the best Cardiologist...HE'S very good...MAKE SURE HIS PATIENTS IS UNDERSTANDING THE BEST DIET FOR HEALTH.....WE AS A PATIENTS MUCH REACT TO EVERTHING HE TELL US TO DO IN ORDER TO HAVE HEALTHY HEART....
I thank him for what he does for me.
if i continue with good shepherd cardiology i would like a new doctor that cares
Thank you for being down-to-earth.
Read through file and spent time with me asking questions about health.
The new office building is easier to find and very clean and easy to navigate in. Also much easier to find. Parking is so close too.
I was pleased with the concern and the fact I was seen more than a minute like I just went though with another Dr. I was felt like he is gonna be more interested in my health.
Thanks for being there
A+
I ask Dr. Mekala to explain my problem in everyday language and to speak louder for my husband could hear him. I was very pleased with his agreement to do as asked.
The staff are wonderful.
Thank you for your care. It is obvious that you truly care for your patients.
Great doctor
More doctors need to take lessons form him

I would Recommend them to anyone.
Great experience.
Stress test was rescheduled twice at the last minute.
He listened to me.
He was very knowledgeable and like I said listened to my concerns!! I am a nurse and many Dr.s say it is anything but what you believe it is!!
Thank you for making me feel like I wasn’t just another number but you explained everything to me and I left your office totally satisfied.

I had to wait one hour and fifteen minutes before the doctor came in my room. When I first got in the room he stuck his head in and just waved. So 1hr 15 minutes he came in. Also in the room next to mine there was a lot of talking and laughing. Sounded like they were having a party.
He referred to caring for me the same as he would a family member
Thank you.
I appreciate very much the care that I received from the doctor.
I want to thank you for providing me with the best care health wise and ensuring that all medications are taken accordingly..
Excellent staff and physician!! Happy patient!!
Keep up the good work!
Very good doctor. Easy to communicate and cares.
One of my favorite Doctors
Very professional
