Dr. Rana and staff were tremendously helpful. I had booked an appointment the same day due to experiencing chest pain for which I did not know the cause. Dr. Rana very patiently went through all of my medical history and conducted tests to determine the root cause of the issue. I would highly recommend Bronx Heart Medical!

July 2, 2020Edgard S.Verified patient
Very good, highly recommended. He explained everything about what he was going to do and even after the testings, he explained and described what was happening on the monitor. Also what I needed to do to take better care of my self. The staffs were very nice, and friendly including the technicians.
October 18, 2019Shirna N.Verified patient
The Dr was very thorough and listened to my concerns. The entire staff was professional. My only issue is I think they overbook a bit and that leads to delays on being seen. My daughter booked an appointment after hearing about my experience.
August 20, 2019Patricia P.Verified patient
I found the office to be rather dirty (for example the restroom has a specimen collection cabinet in it that hasn't seen any cleaning in 10 years), but all the doctors were professional, kind, and thorough. The nurses were also nice. The wait was very bad though.

This doctor is very knowledgeable and I can tell he has been practicing for years. I met with him in his office and he asked me several questions about my symptoms. He was very thorough and listened to all my concerns. His staff was very friendly and I was hearing great things about him in the office from an intern that he treats his patients and employees well. Ekg, echocardiogram, stress test,, PAD test all done in the office! What a convenience that is instead of going to an outside facility. They even supply you with the holter monitor if needed and you have the option to either pick wireless holter (where you can shower with it on) or the traditional holter monitor. I had a good experience and will go back to him again.
August 22, 2018Sumaira I.Verified patient
Dr. Rana and team were the most diligent medical team I have ever come across. The health education provided and the thorough review of my examination was extremely detailed. I will make the time to visit Dr. Rana in the future regardless of living in Manhattan. Thank you!
August 13, 2018Darius T.Verified patient
Dr Rana is AMAZING! Seeing as though he is so sought after, his office was packed to the brim with patients awaiting to be seen. Dr. Rana is thorough, caring, and absolutely the best cardiologist around!!!!

They are rude! Staff didn’t even look you in the face. They had outside conversations and completely disregarded my presence!

Dr. Rana provided such thorough, diligent service. He left no stone unturned with regards to my care, and you can tell he is genuinely passionate about his practice and patients. I highly recommend him to any new client.

I did not see dr. Rana. I was seen by Dr. Chandra Attotis and she was great! I have been to the office 3 times and never met dr. Rana. The wait was reasonable.
March 28, 2017Giseel M.Verified patient
Very good
March 8, 2017Marlon M.Verified patient
He does not practice as an internist nor a geriatric doctor, only does cardiology. Appointment was not listed at his office, even though I got confirmation from ZocDoc. He did not have the electronic forms that I spent 25 minutes filling out on ZocDoc and confirmed as transmitted successfully. Database needs to be updated for this doctor.
February 13, 2015Mary V.Verified patient
