5.0 star star star star starThis was my first meeting with Dr Mikati, he was recommended to me. I felt at ease with Dr Mikati, he was friendly, and he took his time in speaking with me and he listened, which is extremely important. Dr Mikati made me feel like he truly cared about me and my health. We talked about the stress test and why he recommended it to me and other medical issues relating to me. Dr Mikati made a connection with and even though I know he has numerous patients, I felt like he was in the present with me in our conversation and he cared about my health.

5.0 star star star star starHe’s the best. My harshest criticism is that it is difficult to find availability to see him and he is often running behind schedule, but this is the result of the quality of care and personal attention he shows to his patients. He really is an amazing doctor and I am so thankful to have him looking out for me.

5.0 star star star star starMy man, Dr. Mikati, has been taking care of me on-and-off for the past 5 years. He recently helped me through an especially challenging time that included referring me for not-so-normal open heart surgery at Mayo Clinic. He took the time to get me in touch with the right cardiologist and surgeon at Mayo, and made sure my transition was seamless and transparent. He is an outstanding doctor on multiple levels, but most importantly he clearly cares deeply about his patients and their outcomes. I would definitely recommend him to those I care about - 100%. Thank you, Dr. Mikati!
