November 28, 2023Elizabeth J.Verified patient
Excellent doctor and the staff as well.
September 11, 2023Victor R.Verified patient
Dr. Sankholkar is a straight shooter, interested, kind and no-nonsense. He's very pleasant and personable, interested in the patient as a person-- but also tells it like it is. He runs a lot of tests, but that feels like he is genuinely searching. He isn't over eager to medicate, which I appreciate. But of course, he's going to use every tool at his disposal. Highly recommend, but be prepared to come up against life choices that are real.

Did like the experience. The girls were unexperienced, equipment is from the 90s, spent over an hour there, as all of them asked same questionary a few times, felt awkward at the appointment and not satisfied with the results( I had an unexplained pain and was offered a stress test as a resolution)

What a nice experience (as nice as going to a cardiologist can be). The staff was LOVELY, everyone there was reassuring and detailed. The doctor was refreshingly straight forward and kind. Very happy my primary care physician recommended him.

Dr. Sankholkar and his stall were extremely helpful and friendly. I was there for pre-surgery clearance, the whole process was on time and smooth.
April 13, 2022Hongjia C.Verified patient
An outstanding doctor with a great office staff. He identified a cardiac medication that is dangerous for me to be taking. But there was a major problem. Zocdoc shows Dr. Sankholkar as in -network for my AARP Advantage United Healthcare PPO Plan. This is incorrect and created a huge problem for me today at my appointment. Dr. Sankholkar went to great lengths to make the appointment work and is ordering tests at a hospital in my network, but the day was extremely stressful due to Zocdoc’s incorrect information! Please check everything with any doctor that you want to see. I thought Zocdoc an amazing app, because they provide info about the docs that can be very difficult to obtain. However, you should not blindly trust their information. Dr. Sankholkar HAS been waiting for United Healthcare to finalize their agreement, but they are very slow. I had to pay out of pocket. I hope they will come through because I want him to be my cardiologist!

December 11, 2019Ron S.Verified patient
Asked plenty of questions about my medical history and reason for the visit. He double checked my meds and then offered advice and explanations of how meds were interacting with my body. His advice was practical and should be easy to follow. I look forward to following up in a month.
October 18, 2019Scott H.Verified patient
Awful appointment. Go here if you want to be mansplained to and ignored. He told me previous specialists (of other domains) I met with were incorrect, insulted my profession and did not listen to my symptoms.
