Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Kapur is the BEST
Dr Kapur is a top notch oncologist but even more a top notch human being! He has impeccable bedside manner and an amazing memory for each of his patients. He remembers details about each patient without having to refer to the medical records or notes. He is very aggressive and diligent about using the proper treatment for each patient's particular cancer all while keeping a positive attitude, which is infectious!The whole ECHO practice is such a positive environment with staff who truly care for their patients and each other!

A great doctor
Dr. Kapur is extremely knowledgeable, attentive, friendly, and experienced. He has a very broad field of knowledge, and is able to relate many different factors of healthcare to get a good comprehensive picture of one’s health. There has never been a long wait. He takes all the time necessary, but doesn’t waste time. He is a pleasure to see and converse with. I don’t see how he could be any better.

Great Doctor with Staff Staff in every capacity.
I came into this whole situations without any prior experience with Cancer treatment whatsoever because it was my first diagnosis and I didn’t know what to expect. Dr Kapur has a special way of explaining everything in a honest “like it is” manner without leaving anything out, but doesn’t make it scary at the same time does not sugar coat it either which I would find a delicate balance that is not easily achievable. There is no substitute for experience, and I would probably chalk this particular skill up to exactly that reason. He is never impatient in conversation, and has literally said to me….”Ask me anything, this is the time and place to do it”. Never a stupid question for him, and he understands I may just have one because I didn’t go to Medical School. He also has a sneaky sense of humor when you get to know him which is right up my alley. Great Doctor and I am forever greatful. Thank you Doctor Kapur, God Bless You and your Staff too many to name you know who are!
