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. Narayana demonstrated care and concern for me. He listened, asked probing questions, ordered immediate tests and diagnosed a brain tumor. Referral and treatment started immediately.

Brilliant and Caring
I was referred to Dr. Narayana when my opthalmologist was stumped by my sudden onset and increasing severity of double vision. Dr. Narayana did a thorough examination and then ordered blood tests and MRI's. He said I might have ocular myasthenia gravis and the tests confirmed that. He immediately prescribed medication which improved my vision and told me, in some cases, this condition can be caused by a tumor on the thymus gland. So, he ordered a CT scan of my chest and it was confirmed that I had the tumor. He referred me to a thoracic surgeon for removal of the tumor and gland and said in about 70% of cases this can eliminate or minimize the myasthenia gravis. Nearly immediately after surgery I was cured! No symptoms and no need for medication. Everyone I know is amazed that a vision issue led to the discovery of a large tumor in my chest and it is all because of Dr. Narayana. Not only is he brilliant physician, he is also patient, kind, caring and even funny! I am forever grateful!
