Dr. Chalam Mulukutla
, Interventional Cardiologist

"Prior to my decision to undergo TAVR procedure, Dr. Mulukutla met with me to review my test data, discuss my past medical history and current level of physical exercise and other life style factors. Together, we decided to wait several months until my next consultation and echocardiogram.

I was 85 years old and based on the information Dr. Mulukutla and his team had compiled and consulted with me, I decided to go ahead with the TAVR, knowing the risks and/or positive outcomes from the TAVR procedure. After my procedure, I spent one evening in the hospital and returned to my home to recuperate and then start my cardiac rehabilitation program at my local hospital.

Dr. Mulukutla is an experienced cardiologist with five board certifications in interventional Cardiology. Regarding his "bedside manner", he has outstanding doctor-patient communication skills and I was very comfortable with him during all phases of the pre- and post-TAVR procedure.

Dr. Mulukutla and his team are very caring professionals. I am extremely satisfied with the results of the procedure and considering my age, am so gratified with my replacement valve procedure. I now am able to do my 1-2 mile walk without feeling out of breath as well as perform my daily activities and current exercise program .

I would strongly recommend Dr. Mulukutla and his cardiac team to future patients residing in the El Paso, Texas area."
