I just want to express how grateful I am for the care my son received from Dr. Mehta and her staff. She took her time explaining everything in a way that was easy to understand, and we never felt rushed or overlooked. Her patience, kindness, and thoroughness made all the difference, and was above and beyond what we have experienced from other health care professionals. Thank you, Dr. Mehta for being so helpful, attentive, and genuinely invested in my son’s health. It’s very rare these days to find a doctor who cares the way you do. We truly appreciate you!!

Dr. Mehta is wonderful. she takes the time to listen to her patients and she also helps educate them. You can tell that she really loves her job and her patients. My daughter has seen a lot of medical providers at Dayton Children’s and Dr. Mehta is the best provider. Dr. Mehta is very knowledgeable in cardiology, and she treats her patients with respect and dignity. She also does her best to seek out additional resources to help her patient’s who could use some assistance. Lily the nurse was also very kind. both of them provided excellent care for my daughter at her visit. I highly recommend Dr Mehta.

Dr Mehta was amazing! She treated my daughter with such care, as well as myself?her mother. She explained things very thoroughly so we could understand exactly what was going on with my daughter. We left feeling very good about the appointment and the feedback that she gave us in treating my daughter?s symptoms. Dr Mehta, and the entire team, the Nurse, Noel and the ultrasound tech were outstanding! We left feeling educated in the issue and very well taken care of as a patient.

She not only gave us the results, she talked to us about what they mean, what to look for, as well as other things that other numbers meant for his overall health. We also talked about ADHD and she gave me some podcasts and other studies that she had listened to and read up on. to allow me to do further research for my kids.

This provider was very knowledgeable and explained things very well at our initial appt in which an echo was completed. This was more of a follow up call regarding the heart monitor results. We are very pleased with her care and attention that she took with our family.

Dr. Mehta is an outstanding physician. She listened to us, answered all of our questions, and explained the diagnosis thoroughly, in language we could easily understand. We were not rushed through the visit or dismissed when it came to our concerns and questions. She gave us answers, solutions, and referrals for the next steps. The nursing staff was also amazing. They were kind and punctual.

Dr Mehta was wonderful!! My daughter was found to have a rare genetic disorder and she took the time to explain everything, did her own research on it and helped with pointing us in the direction to go next with her treatment. I was very pleased with her care!!
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/15/2025
This doctor was so well-educated and not just school-educated, but she takes the time to educate herself so that she stays up to date with the information she needs to assist her patients. I was thoroughly impressed and interested in what she had to say. She's also very honest and explains things in a way that makes sense. And I just truly appreciate the conversation that she had with both myself and my son as we both left with more knowledge than we came with and feeling like things could change for the better and we had a good idea of what would happen next and how to improve going forward. I would love to see this doctor again and would recommend her for anyone that needs to see a cardiology specialist. Thank you very much, doctor.
