Cardiovascular Wellness: Ameeta Walia, DO, FACC, FASE

While the doctors at this office are knowledgeable and I believe are looking out for your best interests in terms of your cardiovascular health, it’s how they go about it that I have an issue with. It seems like they like to push procedures and tests over several visits so as to bill your insurance more and collect more copays from you. In fact, you’ll have to pay a copay just to get your results (after all of the procedures and/or tests provided which had their own separate copays) which I think is ridiculous! Also, while everyone has their own unique insurance plans that may or may not cover certain procedures and tests, good luck having them tell you that BEFORE you do those procedures and tests which leads to a large surprise bill after everything is said and done. But look on the brig

Well the doctor and her office staff are very good and show patient care, the office wait is terrible and is actually detrimental to the patients. I can’t tell you how many times I have heard people complaining that they have to wait. I’ve been waiting an hour and 40 minutes and I have yet to see the nurse or doctor. Edit on 10/09/2005: So I just went back for a follow up visit from the time I sat at the office to the time I left was less than an hour. 👍😀 So the nursing assistant had EKG and blood pressure taken and had a lovely discussion with Dr. Walia. This office takes care of their patients and has their best well-being in mind. Seems like any issues they had as far as scheduling and lateness cleared up. Glad to be patient with Dr. Walia- you will be too.

Dr Walia was amazing, had wonderful bedside manner and kept me calm and comfortable during my visit. I will recommend her to anyone in search for a cardiologist on Long Island.

This has been one of the most unprofessional and frustrating experiences I’ve ever had with a medical office. Every time I schedule an appointment, they promise I will be seeing the cardiologist—but after waiting up to 5 hours, only a nurse practitioner shows up. This has happened multiple times. It feels deceptive, like they’re intentionally misleading patients. When I finally spoke up and asked why I never get to see the actual cardiologist, instead of showing any understanding or concern, the doctor herself responded with unbelievable rudeness. She said, “I can discharge you, but this is how I run my business,” and then told me she “won’t be comfortable giving me care anymore” and gave me a 30-day notice to discharge me from the practice—just for standing up for myself. That is not onl

While I really like Dr. Amita Walia and trust her as a cardiologist, the overall experience with this office has been extremely disappointing. After being hospitalized, I was told to follow up with the cardiologist — not a nurse practitioner. I made that clear when scheduling, yet every time, I’m seen by a nurse practitioner with no explanation or respect for what was actually needed. The front desk staff only makes things worse. They’re rude, dismissive, and barely communicate. They often say nothing but “have a seat” and walk away, leaving you completely in the dark, wondering what’s going on or how long you’ll be waiting. There’s zero professionalism or patient care in how they handle people. It feels like patients are treated as an inconvenience rather than as human beings needing ca
