5.0 star star star star starI live in Orland Park Illinois, and its much more convenient to see Dr Mutharasan. From now on I will be seeing one of these two doctors every three months. This doctor listens, has very good ideas, and communicates well with Dr Shah.

5.0 star star star star starHe is a great doctor and cares about his patients. He came highly recommended by another doctor I trust and I have not been disappointed. I recommended him to three other family members who are also now his patients and equally impressed.

5.0 star star star star starI wasn't concerned about seeing a new dr. since Dr. Quinn and his assoc. have taken excellent care of my husband for several years. Dr. Mutharasan was as knowledgeable and caring as everyone we've met in this practice!

5.0 star star star star starHe had to read the report from the last doctor I had seen in Florida. He was not in a hurry and made sure I knew what he was telling me and was reading. He did suggest I get a monitor and gave me the number to call for an appointment. I spend the better part of a day trying to make that and was put on hold for lots of minutes. I finally called Dr. Gallo and his nurse was able to get through for an appointment. Dr. Gallo is my regular doctor at Northwestern.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Mutharasan is an outstanding cardiologist! He expresses genuine care for his patients, truly listens during symptom discussion, and goes above and beyond to offer options to support the patient’s medical condition and lifestyle. I am truly grateful for the care I have received and his willingness to think outside the box then addressing a challenging set of symptoms. He has answered every question I had inside the clinic as well as on My Chart, and I always leave his office with a sense of ease knowing I am in receiving exceptional care and that I have the support of a top-notch provider.

5.0 star star star star starMy expectations for all medical personnel at NM is to be at the top in medical knowledge and technical proficiency. In my experience this holds pretty true. The difference maker is, using an old term, unparalleled “bed side mannerâ€. Dr Mutharasan has that in spades. His knowledge and ability to communicate that knowledge in a calming, understandable manner, to me, means so much to a patient. The description I use when recommending him in that “he makes you feel better just walking in the roomâ€. As the younger generation would say, he is a “Rock Starâ€. A humble physician who I believe makes a difference every single day.

5.0 star star star star starDuring the pandemic, many people have limited their workouts and physical activity. This doctor took all of this into consideration and was honest about working with my general physician Dr. Veronica Johnson in creating long term life style health plans, to support an exciting quality of life…
