Been under Dr Sur’s care for a year following a 1000 CAC score and he’s been amazing helping me navigate my medication options and lifestyle / diet changes. He’s very patient and very thorough but is also no BS and very straightforward with honest science based advice which I respect. Great guy overall too.

Dr. Sur was very thorough and answered all my concerns It was a great first appointment
Very good doctor caring for sure very knowledgeable and a nice person
First time seeing Dr Sur because my previous Dr retired. He took the time to review the treatment that Dr Erickson provided and we came up with a game plan moving forward.
Dr. Sur is a terrific cardiologist - a high energy guy who is crazy smart, has amazing credentials and loves what he does. When it comes to your care he will leave nothing to chance if he can help it. He has a very scientific and organized approach and on top of it all he’s a nice human being. If you are looking for a Cardiologist you couldn’t do better.
Great Doctor
