Dr Anaya has been excellent in working with me to improve my heart condition. He is a wonderful doctor

04/10/2025

Dr. Anaya is a very caring Dr. and person. He gives quality information while talking to me. He is personable and caring. I look forward to continuing my relationship with him.

04/01/2025

At first I was very nervous meeting Dr Anaya since starting over with a new Cardiologist but after talking with him, I knew I was in the right place! He is a highly intelligent doctor who really cares about his patients, takes the time to ask questions and explains any tests, results, or treatment plan he wants to do thoroughly. His nurse was amazing as well and so nice!

03/27/2025

Dr Anaya is an amazing doctor. He listens to you and is proud of you when you make healthy life changes. He also genuinely cares. He is the BEST...

03/16/2025

Dr. Anaya is very personable, easy to talk to and very thorough. When I saw him in the Cafe days later he took me aside and talked to me about blood work I had done. I appreciate his kindness and making me feel that he truly cared. I would recommend him as your cardiologist.

03/11/2025

Dr. Anaya has a good bedside maner and is very personable. However, he chases rabit trails like no other. I have a condition that simply needs to be monitored but Dr. Anaya gets over excited about little things and over prescribes meds. He wants to treat diabetes that I don't have (I got a 2nd and 3rd opinion). Stay in your lane Doc!

02/27/2025

Dr Anaya is very friendly and knowledgeable. He will help you get healthy if you listen to his advice.

02/21/2025

Wait wasn’t long, nurse was professional & personable, Dr & I discussed my issues, he spent the time to explain the problems and how we’re gonna proceed.

02/11/2025

Awesome Dr. A joy to visit the office. Very helpful in helping me manage my cardio and medication management.

01/30/2025

I met Dr. Anaya about 2 years ago, my doctor, Dr. Bridget Cooper wanted me to set up an appointment because of my heart beats, when I met him, it was such a warmness about him. I always pray before I go in for my Dr. appointments, we talked, and he wanted to do a deeper test (outpatient) which it was a success. Great bedside manners. I just went back to him in January 2025. Everything looks good. Dr. Anaya staff in Liberty were just awesome and friendly. So appreciative of your kindness.

01/29/2025

01/10/2025

Dr. Anaya has been very kind and thoughtful with us. He even worked to get us in for an appointment when his schedule was already full so we could see him before departing on an extended trip. We feel confident that the heart is in good hands.

12/20/2024

I see Dr. Anaya as part of a wellness program. I very much appreciate his approach by staying up with all the modern research and science to help prevent cardiovascular disease. He takes a holistic approach. I played it on continuing to see him and look forward to asking questions and understanding more about what I can do optimize my cardiovascular health.

Very kind and values your life and health.

11/26/2024

If you need a cardiologist and you want that person to care about your heart, your health, and your life, pick up the phone and dial Meritas Health Cardiology at North Kansas City Hospital. When a cheerful voice answers, make an appointment with Dr. Anaya.

10/12/2023

I get the feeling I am their only patient because everyone seems so keenly aware of my medical “story.” Dr. Anaya has helped me tremendously in the past 6 months. Symptoms are gone for now, and we are in “upkeep mode.”

10/09/2023

I think Dr. Anaya is awesome. He’s very frank and straightforward. He explains everything extremely well, so I always leave his office feeling like I understand what’s up with my health. All-around good guy! I like him!!

An ExCeLLanT doctor who is knowledgeable, personable, smart, patient…a lot of doctors can be arrogant…Dr. Anaya is wonderful

09/01/2023

Dr Anaya is very informative about my heart and seams to treat all his patients as individuals. He is very caring about his patients and invested in his patients. You can tell that he cares about you and how he can make life easier for you. He is a great Doctor. I have never given a review for any other doctor. He has helped me in just my first two visits. I'm so glad I found him.

09/01/2023

Everyone from the receptionist to the nurses and especially Dr Anaya are the nicest professionals around. I always feel well cared for and secure knowing they have my best interest in mind.

07/11/2023

Dr. Anaya-Cisneros cares for his patients with kindness, compassion, and genuine concern. I am met with a smile and top notch courtesy by his staff at every visit. Dr. Anaya-Cisneros is friendly and personable, he treats me with respect and with interest in me as an individual not just as a patient. He listens, asks questions, and is ready with recommendations, follow up, and the next steps in caring for me. I am so very blessed to have this wonderful and dedicated young man as my cardiologist, he certainly has made a difference in my life physically and mentally. Thank you Dr. Anaya-Cisneros, you are loved.

07/01/2023

Prior to visit I asked support staff twice if lab work was required. Both times told no. A week prior to appointment I was called and told to do lab work. So I drove 60 miles to do this. When arrived for appointment could not find labs. Very disappointing. Would hate to change doctors because support staff and him do not work together.

06/13/2023

My doctor was very helpful with explaining my condition and the procedure to correct my condition

05/25/2023

Everyone was friendly and helpful. Dr took his time with us

Awesome staff with attention to their patients as well as a great doctor who explains anything and everything about your health conditions.

01/28/2023

This was my first time seeing a Cartologist and was quite apprehensive and nervous at the same time. After meeting with DR. Anaya and he took the time to explain everything in detail. I didn't feel like I was being rushed so he could see his next patient. Very pleased by his professional knowledge.

01/21/2023

Dr. Anaya is a very good cardiologist he is my dads doctor and the best thing is that he can explain in details and make sure he understand he speaks Spanish and that’s awesome that my dad can understand him. Now I’m also his patient we are happy to have Dr.Anaya. He also have a friendly staff.

Words will never be enough to show the level of gratitude, gratitude I feel for my Doctor Mauricio Anaya Cisneros, thank you very, very much for your professionalism, attention...! God always bless you

09/18/2022

I am so impressed with Dr. Anaya’s care of my mother that I felt compelled to tell others. He is extremely accessible, called me to update me on everything he was doing with my mother and advocated for her while she was in the hospital. His diagnosis and remedy were right on. He made her feel comfortable and was patient with her. His nurse, Tonya, and other staff members at Meritas Cardiology are also excellent. I can’t say enough positive about these two. Highly recommend.

07/04/2021

It's a privilege to be under the care of Dr Anaya. Not only does he provide unquestionable competent medical assessment and advise but he shows the special touch of human sensitivity. He does really listen to the patient and explains the different aspects of your case until you understand them and leave his office with no uncertainties in your mind. As a patient, I don't feel I'm just the previous case to his next appointment down a tight clinic agenda.  I feel blessed and reassured to have Dr Anaya as my cardiologist.    

11/17/2020

Dr. Anaya takes time to explain details. He uses terminology the layman can understand. He will answer the questions you ask truthfully and tactfully. If you ask for no sugar coating he tells you reasonable expectations and how to achieve your goals. He is completely trustworthy.

04/25/2020

Dr Anaya has been brilliant looking after me. He has a great bedside manner, he talks to you in plain language and is very informative.

09/08/2019

Have been seeing Dr. Anaya for about a year for a heart condition after having a PE. He is very personable and knowledgeable. He sent me for some testing and then thoroughly went over the results with me so I could understand them. He then prescribed a med. for me to help with my condition and also spoke to me at length about needing to lose weight (as I was very obese, which was causing some of my problems). I knew I was overweight but just needed someone to push me to do something about it. I have to thank him for his advice because I have lost 60 pounds since my January visit and just had my last visit with him on Friday. My labs are now back to normal and feel better than I have in years. I would trust Dr. Anaya to treat any of my family members and will recommend him to others.

06/11/2019

Only seen Anaya-Cisneros 3 times. He really listens and helps me understand our treatment plan. I say our treatment plan because he and I actually talk frankly about my treatment options

05/22/2019

I had Dr. Anaya when I had a massive heart attack. He saved my life along with others. He is a very good cardiologist and really wished he would have stayed in Hays Kansas! A very good person and cardiologist!!

05/16/2019

Takes the time to listen carefully and asks good questions. His drug plan has reduced the frequency of afib episodes. He has more ideas if my frequency doesn't continue to improve. I appreciate the effort to help control my afib.

04/15/2019

He saved my life! Continues excellent treatment!

12/11/2018

This Dr ordered an expensive procedure without insurance authorization Pryor to procedure. test was deemed not medically necessary and BCBS is not coving the test. I was sent a bill for over $7800. Buyer be aware. Go somewhere else. Office does not answer the phone. And takes forever to return your calls. If the do. Very unprofessional.

12/09/2018

Dr Anaya is everything one looks for in a physician. He is a brilliant Cardiologist. He is also a compassionate human. He makes his patients feel special and his expertise and caring combine with his great intelligence to provide a standard of care rarely seen in any medical setting. He saves lives.

12/08/2018

Dr. Anaya is a very thorough caring physician. He made me feel as if I was his only patient in taking the time to explain my health plan.

12/06/2018

This cardiologist is excellent. He took so much extra time to review my fathers case and explain things in a way my father could understand. Dr Anaya truly cares for his patients and is one of a kind.

12/06/2018

Dr. Anaya is very patient. He takes the time to really understand the patient. He worked with my father. We were very grateful for his care and how complete he was. He didn’t do more than what was necessary. He would test but only in the amount that Seemed to give the best care! We were sad to see him leave Hays. When we went to the clinic In Kansas City to have a valve change he followed up with me to see how my father was doing even Though we were no longer blessed to have my dad under him.

09/12/2018

I have had to obtain a new referral to a cardiologist because the office will not respond to calls. They tried twice to call me but claimed they called 4 times, that is not true my phone history is evidence of missed calls. I have attempted multiple times to call them back. I'm very disappointed in this broken process and lack of communication with the office for scheduling a procedure and test. I think the provider seems knowledgeable and I was pleased with his service but I needed followup

11/28/2016

He does not listen to a patient and will not answer questions. He thinks he is above everyone else, and no one knows anything but him. He, and his staff, is very unprofessional and uncaring.

03/26/2016

He is very thorough and takes the time to listen to you, very up to date on medical issues and procedures.
