From vegetarian cooking to practicing mindfulness, Dr. Manish V. Bhalodia, M.D., tries lifestyle changes that he subsequently suggests to his patients. “I try it first, because if I can’t do it or it’s not effective, then it doesn’t make sense to tell my patients about it.”
It’s a hands-on approach that Dr. Bhalodia finds helpful in inspiring change. “Lifestyle goes hand in hand with cardiology,” he says. “Healthy habits can reduce the need for more invasive and/or expensive treatments.”
Dr. Bhalodia treats such issues as congestive heart failure, atrial fibrillation, valvular heart disease, heart attack, coronary artery disease and syncope (fainting). Patients enjoy the comfortable atmosphere and the nonintimidating conversations he creates. He wants patients to be able to talk frankly about their concerns. “Sometimes that includes stresses in their lives that may be impacting their health,” he says.
He joined Vanguard to be part of a groundbreaking movement in value-based care. “I feel there is a lot to be gained by the synergy between a cardiologist and primary care physicians,” he notes. “Ultimately, it benefits the patient to have well-coordinated care.”
Helping others has been a focus of Dr. Bhalodia’s since he was in middle school, when he first envisioned his future career. The idea of alleviating human suffering was quite powerful to him, even at that young age. Due to his strong conviction about access to quality health care, he chose to forgo joining his father’s thriving accounting practice in favor of becoming a physician.
“During residency, cardiology was one of the toughest branches to understand and get selected for a fellowship,” he says. “To me, it was the most satisfying and gratifying feeling to be able to make a meaningful difference in a person’s quality of life. You can help save somebody from the brink of a catastrophic situation.”
When he is not working, Dr. Bhalodia enjoys reading, practicing yoga, and playing tennis, table tennis, and cricket. He also enjoys traveling and exploring different cultures with his wife and twin sons.

I love my doctor he have so much patience and understanding
Dr Bhalodia is thorough and caring and efficient I am blessed to have him for my cardiologist.
Excellent and caring doctor
Doctor takes his time and answers all your questions wait time is excellent
Dr Bhalodia cares. He does not over-prescribe medications or testing. He does everything possible to find the cause of a patient’s symptoms in order to determine the best course of action or treatment for each patient. He thinks “outside the box” which is rare in the Medical Profession these days. He actually listens and hears what his patients are saying which I believe is why he is able to actually help them. In my opinion, the first and greatest attribute a Physician can have is the desire /ability to take the time to actually look at their patient and listen to/hear them.while they are speaking. Help and Healing begin at this critical point in a Dr.Patient interaction.
I was going to another heart doctor for years he was located in Belleville New Jersey but ever since I switched Dr Bhalodia my heart went from 40% to between 55 and 60 and I've never felt better. I can't believe what a difference he has made in my life and in my health. The staff is amazing and so helpful and actually Pleasant. Let's face it most of the time you go to a doctor the staff isn't that friendly when actually they should be because if you're going to a doctor chances are you're not feeling well.
Very good in breaking down medical terms into common words where the patient understands. He also is very patient when it comes to listening to the patient questions and most importantly makes the client feel important
Dr Bhalodia was awesome and took his time answering all my questions and concerns He has a plan and wife this was my 1st visit I left there feeling really good about the future care and advice he is going to provide I know I made the right choice seeing Dr Bhalodia and feel I know have a knowledge and caring Cardiologist going forward GA
Dr Bhalodia is a great cardiologist I recommend a friend to Vanguard Medical Group
