Dr. Dhruva is by far the best cardiologist AND physician I have ever had care for me. He treats me as a human being and NOT just another number/patient. He takes the time to listen, with compassion, and always finds something uplifting and positive to focus on. I have had some bad experiences with physicians in your network and Dr. Dhruva is one of the few that keep me with University of MD. System of hospitals

Dr. Dhruva is a very compassionate person. He makes you feel that he cares about you as a person and not just like "the 3rd patient of the day". He is very professional, yet friendly and speaks to you in a way that you can understand. He uses the tools (wall chart, computer) etc., to better explain your condition and when he asks you, "how are you feeling", he really wants an honest answer. I would definitely recommend him to friends and family.

My doctor listened and heard me which brought me to tears. I've been on a 2yr medical journey where not every doctor has truly listened so this was definitely a touching change that gave me the hope I haven't had in a long time and the relief that I was heard. The provider was professional but kind.
