“As usual, Dr. Weerakoon is amazing...above and beyond the call of duty!
I wish there was a 5+ rating I could give (as online "star" inflation seems to be taking hold for many doctors). In that atmosphere, he deserves truly more than 5 stars.”

The overall first impression was fantastic. Everyone from the front desk to the Dr. were exceptionally friendly, polite, promt, and most importantly extremely competent! It was the most efficient, effective and (dare I say) enjoyable medical office visit I have had in quite some time. I highly recommend Cardiocare and Dr. Weerakoon.
February 17, 2023Richard E.Verified patient
I was afraid to have to be seen by a cardiologist in the first place, but after visiting this doctor and his staff, I will never go to another cardiologist ever. This is where I will be staying forever. The front desk check in personnel was amazing and friendly. The doctor and his nurse was extremely caring and listened to every concern that I had no matter how trivial it was. The Ultrasound Tech was the best that I had ever had.
I know this sounds like I got paid to say these things, but I believe in uplifting and giving credit where it is due. I which my father was still living for me to bring him to this doctor.
February 13, 2023Stephanie L.Verified patient
I've seen this doctor several times now, and every single time, he has been phenomenal--in terms of helping, listening, knowledge, bedside manner, approachability,..., you name it! It's great to have someone I trust completely. If there was a contest, I would definitely nominate him as "doctor of the year"
November 2, 2022Zehra P.Verified patient
This was the first time I had seen a cardiologist. Dr. Weerakon was very kind, listened closely and explained the next steps. A very positive first consultation.
June 15, 2022Deanna B.Verified patient
Great Experience at Cardiocare, from scheduling, to check-in and receiving medical care, it all went smoothly. The staff is professional and very friendly. Wait time (if you have an appointment) is virtually none. Making an appointment is quite easy too.
Doctor Weerakoon is attentive and patient. He took time to listen to my heart related complaints, to examine me, to review prior exam results from another cardiologist and make recommendations (including further testing).
I truly recommend him to everyone as he is friendly and knowledgeable, and has excellent bedside manners.
May 17, 2022Cristina G.Verified patient

April 3, 2022Rachel F.Verified patient
Dr Weerakooon has the best bedside manner. He greeted us and listened intently regarding our visit. He was understanding and compassionate and examined my father right away and took copies of my dads previous hospital visit. we have another appt next week. I think my dad is going to be fine now that he is under the care of Dr. Weerakoon..
November 11, 2021Will G.Verified patient
As someone that habitually promulgates his distaste for horrible service, I was pleasantly surprised at the professionalism, care, and efficiency of the staff. The wait was not long, the staff was knowledgeable and nice, and the doctor was fantastic. While I hope to never return, will definitely make this my preferred.
