About Ripa Chakravorty, MD

  • When she is not working, she enjoys spending time with her family, working out, listening to music, and cooking. Dr. Chakravorty is relatively new to Central Texas, but is exploring and enjoying its landscape, trails, and the great food scene!

My interest in medicine has grown gradually from my inquisitiveness about the human body and physiology to the science of diagnostic clinical medicine. Cardiology involves the convergence of my clinical knowledge with critical thinking and the use of cutting-edge technology to diagnose and treat complex problems. I believe in a team approach to my patients’ health – myself, the patient’s PCP, other specialists – along with the patient and their family, considering their current lifestyle, beliefs, and socioeconomic conditions to devise an effective and comprehensive plan that can be continued long term.

A treadmill test helps determine how well your heart handles work. As your body works harder during the test, it requires more oxygen, so the heart must pump more blood.

    Dr Ripa was very thorough and very knowledgeable. I’ll definitely keep coming back to her. I’m recommending her for my daughter as well.

    At first it was hard to convey the information I wanted her to know about the journey of the past year: 1. The conflicting information I received from other providers in and 2. How my search for a surgeon has negatively impacted my financial situation A couple of times I felt judged by her for my choices and for my style of communication. She contradicted some info I got from the Mayo Clinic regarding the diuretic I’ve been taking. However, we were able to get on the same page in order to decide on a plan to go forward. She took the time to explain to me about the three forms of arrithmia and cleared up some incorrect information I got from a possible candidate for my valve surgery.
