If you are a healthy heart patient, any cardiologist in The Villages will do. But if you have a condition greater than high blood pressure, go to Shands in Gainesville. Could save your life.

Agree with selection of Dr. Saluck. He never rushes you out and probably will talk to you all day if you let him. He's from Pennsylvania.

Can anyone out there suggest a Cardiologist? Thank You for your feed back...........

You can E-Mail me at floridaguy2626@aol.com Thank You......

FloridaGuy, I see this post is almost a month old, so this may be old information. With some of the recent changes to the Villages Health system, you may need to check which Doctor will accept your health insurance.

Dr. Kaufman 352-265-0820

Shands is 70 miles north. University of Florida

i had my heart transplant at the U of Penn hospital and they recommended Shands for my continuing care. the transplant was 11 years ago, I have been going to Shands for almost 8. TVRH turned me away twice for small procedures because of my heart history...don't think I want to go there for a heart issue except in case of emergency. that is not saying that there aren't some excellent doctors here as others have noted.

Dr Yalamanchi cardiologist is my doctor, all I can say is excellent Dr. and located in Sumter landing, across street fro Barns and Nobles.

I agree. He caught that I had afib when I was in the hospital for a minor stroke. It had gone undetected for well over 20 years, including testing and recovery from a prior stroke. Minor correction though, you have his name reversed - it is Vinod Miryala.

Does anyone use Dr. Couturier. He was recommended by primary care Dr. Camogliano as cardiologist.

[dblwyr]

Is excellent, Heart if the Villages in SS. Know others who also use him, and they agree that he is excellent.

[curly top]

Dr Courtier at Hearts of The Villages has been treating my husband for about 5 years. He is the best cardiologist and his entire staff of professionals. Highly recommend them.

Dr. Hector Garcia, maybe hard to get an appointment. but worth it.
