I appreciated how he listened to a long history and complicated symptoms and really talked through them with me when he could have just said this isn't cardiac so not my problem. He gave great explanations about some MRI and EKG findings. I absolutely would recommend him highly.

It is difficult for me to find a provider that I trust and feel comfortable with Dr. Subbaroa is someone that I can go to and feel he understands me. I am also ADHD so I have a tendency to be a little high-strung. It doesn't bother him, he is a great Dr.
