    Dr Ghosh is very thorough and caring. He made sure that I understood what was going on, that I had access to specialists when needed, and even prompted me to get a spot on my lung checked out (which turned out to be early stage cancer) when it had nothing to do with my cardiovascular care. I can confidently say I am in better shape and will have longer to live thanks to Dr Ghosh.
