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.

Folow-up visit – Feb 23, 2025
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Valsangkar?
A very thankful protective sister.
My brother has a mental disability and he is 61 years old I have been his care giver for 40 years. I have watched Dr's not want to touch him, talk to him or even look at him. We often have a hard time getting a diagnosis because he has a high pain tolerance and trouble explaining where things hurt. Dr Valsangkar explained everything to not only myself but also Larry. He shook both of our hands and could not have been kinder. I am very protective of Larry and I trust Dr Valsangkar completely. He may never know what an impact he has had on us, but we thank God that we found him. You will not regret trusting this phenomenal Dr!

Could not have ask for a better Dr. everything was explained so we could understand what was expected and the follow up visit was just as informative. He truly cares about his patients and their recovery. Would recommend him to anyone with hiatal hernia problems.
