I have been seen by Dr. Zalawadiya for over 2 years prior to my transplant and for the entire year post transplant. Dr. Zalawadiya is an excellent cardiac surgeon with incredible medical knowledge, bedside manner, positive suggestions and one of the nicest human beings I have ever met in my 69 years. I will be forever grateful to him as he is one of the main reasons I completed my pre transplant journey and am still alive today. Words alone cannot express my gratitude to him as a cardiologist and human.
