I was in for an EKG & associated ultrasound for an upcoming appointment with Dr Mehta. My technician was very polite and professional and very efficient performing the exam. I always feel confident with the treatment I receive at Peak Heart & Cardiovascular.

I received very good service and attention from the staff and technicians at Peak Heart and Vascular in Surprise. Claudia took the time to ask me questions, answered mine and discussed protocols to address my SOB issues. Everything is scheduled including a follow up appointment. Thank you! I went back to Peak Heart and Vascular yesterday for a heart monitor. The Technician was very professional and showed me how the device works. I am pleased with this practice. My appointment yesterday, 8/4/2026 was to go over my test results with Dr. Mehta. He is personable and professional. He answered all questions I had and made recommendations based on the test results. I took them under advisement and will evaluate and get back to the office. Thank you!

I love Dr Mehta! I have been seeing since 2015, and followed him to Peak Heart and Vascular. He is caring and willing to listen. He remembers my issues and funny enough the people I bring with me to my appointments. He is honest and never sugar coats anything for me.

Dr. Mehta, front and back office staff were very attentive. Dr. Mehta was engaging and generally interested in my care. I left feeling heard. I initially was referred to a cardiology group that couldn't see me until September. Peak Heart got me in within a week. So glad I chose them!

I was served by both Claudia and Dr. Mehta. Both listened intently and fully and completely explained their recommendations. I would strongly recommend Dr. Mehta and his assistant, Claudia. On this most recent visit, I was served by assistant Breawna who did EKG and vitals and Claudia. Both were very professional and listened intently to the issues I had. It was a pleasure to see them and have them evaluate me. Thank you so much Peak.
