An internationally-recognized name in the field of hypertension, he has authored or co-authored more than 50 journal publications, book chapters and abstract publications in top medical journals like Journal of American College of Cardiology, British Medical Journal and European Heart Journal.

For example, he performs transradial angioplasty, which uses a patient’s wrist instead of the groin as the incision point and has a much lower rate of bleeding and faster recovery time. Dr. Makani is board certified in Internal Medicine, Cardiovascular Diseases, Nuclear Cardiology and Echocardiography and is a Registered Physician in Vascular Interpretation.

Wonderful visit
Providence Patient
Dr. Makani remembered me, which was nice, since I had not seen him in almost a year. To my surprise, he knew all about my hospital visits and my visit to the Rehab center. He knew what medications that were prescribed and what procedures that I had. I was very happy that he was well informed and is keeping track of my progress. Dr. Makani gave me different instructions on one of my meds because I have been getting different instructions from different providers. He advised on the medication Lasik and told me to lower it to one pill instead of one and a half. He also told me not to drink so much water and instead drink juice and other drinks. He said my swelling should go down to normal. He is going to check my heart and also do the pre-op checks for a survey I am planning to have for my right knee replacement in November. I am grateful for such a great and caring provider.
