Going to Peak Heart & Vascular and seeing Dr. Nirav J. Mehta & his staff was a total pleasure. Everyone there was kind, professional, efficient but yet the Dr. took his time to review my tests results as well as allow for any questions I may have had. That made me feel valued as a patient. I would highly recommend them & their convenient location here in the West Valley.

This office is amazing. Dr. Mehta is the best.. I also see Dr Tran for my ICD and he is great also. I would recommend them to everyone.. I do wish the girls in the front office and check out side were a little friendlier.. people usually don't feel well when they go to the Dr, so smile and nice disposition would go a long way.. I mean no disrespect to anyone, just a heart patient that would like a people person to help me and those girls are not that. They are also very fast on prescription refills..
