WakeMed Heart & Vascular – Cary Cardiology - Fuquay-Varina

I'm a patient of Dr. Sunil Desai with WakeMed Heart & Vascular in Fuquay-Varina. Dr. Desai is a very friendly doctor. I can go to him with all of my questions and concerns comfortably without feeling rushed. He's not dismissive with me at all. He's also a good listener and doesn't rush his time with me and I appreciate that. Dr. Desai is very attentive and if I tell him I'm not feeling well or a test result comes up with something, Dr. Desai is right on it! His whole staff from the front desk to the nurses are wonderful to work with. I will continue going to Dr. Desai as I feel he cares about his patient's needs.

I had an appointment at WakeMed Heart & Vascular in Fuquay-Varina with Dr. Pratik Vipin Desai, MD, FACC, and Jena Donovan, PA. I was referred here by my primary care for cardiology care, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Both Dr. Desai and Jena took the time to talk me through everything, answer my questions, and reassure me every step of the way. They were so easy to talk to and genuinely kind, not just as medical professionals but as people. I left my appointment feeling informed, cared for, and supported. I am truly thankful to have met them and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of heart care.

The only reason this is a 1 star rating is because the staff was friendly and Michelle offered me tissues while I was crying. Outside of that, this visit has further deepened my lack of faith in the health care industry. I was referred to this clinic by the ED, which I had visited 4 days prior due to chest pain, ongoing palpitations and some other scary things for someone my age (31 and healthy from what all the labs at the ED suggested). I am a self pay patient, so upon my arrival, I paid $150 just to be seen. My visit at this clinic consisted of a review of the paperwork from my ED visit and another EKG (I had 1 at Urgent Care who then told me to go to the ED who then administered 2). We also discussed the game plan which included a heart monitor and an echocardiogram. When checking out,

It was my first time in a cardiologist office. The staff was pleasant. Dr. Shah was well educated and was able to explain things for me to understand and made sure that I left with no questions or confusion. He had a great sense of humor and provided some great suggestions for me to live a healthier lifestyle! I will definitely be back!

I feel I get consistently excellent care with Dr. Netrebko. He is attentive, a good listener, and helpful in finding options to problems. I have had two cardiac ablations, and I feel my quality of life is much improved. His nurse is tremendous also. My heart is in very good hands!
