I had a really great experience at this office. The entire staff was friendly, welcoming and professional, which made the visit comfortable from start to finish.
Dr. Mehta truly stood out to me. He's the first doctor l've seen in years-maybe even a decade who didn't spend the entire appointment staring at a laptop and typing while I talked. Instead, he was fully present, listening carefully and making me feel heard and understood. It was such a refreshing change of pace.
For once, I didn't feel like I was just another patient being processed or having my information entered into a computer. I felt like l was having a real conversation with someone who genuinely cared. I highly recommend this office.

After an unfortunate experience with another cardiology group we found Dr. Mehta, Dr. Patel and Peak for my mom who needed heart valve replacement surgery. From the first minute of her first appointment until surgery and then post-op, Dr. Mehta and Dr. Patel were exceptional. They reviewed her conditions, provided options, stayed informed about her test results, hospital stays and labs. We felt like my mom was their only patient and they would do everything necessary to restore her health. Words cannot adequately express our appreciation for the doctors and the entire staff at Peak Heart and Vascular. You are all amazing, talented medical professionals who really care about their patients and their heart health. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for what you did for my mom. She now has a new heart valve and a new lease on life.
