Shashank Jolly, M.D.

I don’t know why u would come to Unilocal to look up doctor ratings, can’t say I meet many heart surgeon to do a comparison like comparing a bow of phở either, but got to say if my dad’s still alive after a 11 hr long transplant surgery, and is walking now… I am grateful.
Our surgery got bumped a few times at last minutes, but that is to be expected when other patient got more critical condition needs the attention at the hospital. When my mom had her emergency a few years ago with something else, we have to bump off a few other patients on the waiting list too. Dealing with 2 aged parents, am pretty happy with most of Washington Hospitals doctors in general

I cannot recommend this doctor, no matter how good other reviewers say he is. He did not show up for my appointment.
He sees patients only one day a week. Even then, he couldn’t see me.
I arrived 30 minutes before my scheduled appointment. After an hour and a half, I was finally led back to an exam room. I was in that room for another hour, and Doctor Jolly never showed up.

My BF went to the emergency room for what we thought was a low blood pressure issue. After a few tests, it turned out that he had a much bigger issue. Dr. Jolly came to his room and advised that he had an Aortic dissection, which is a serious condition in which there is a tear in the wall of the major artery carrying blood out of the heart.
Dr. Jolly spent quite a while explaining to us what it was, what would need to be done and answering all our questions. Even though it was early afternoon and he already had been in one surgery, he spent the next 12 hours operating on my BF. He saved his life!!! He was so calm & kind to me after it was over and sat with me to make sure I knew what was happening. In the weeks after he was never too busy to talk or do other tests to make sure everything was ok.
Also important to me is his office staff. Melissa is one-​of-​a-​kind and a real treasure. She goes above & beyond to help with all insurance matters, tests, questions, etc. She’s really sweet & funny.
He truly is a wonderful doctor and person and I would recommend him to anyone if you want to live a long, healthy life. THANK YOU Dr. Jolly for everything!!!
