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.

A Truly Exceptional Oncologist – The Best
I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Kovoor. From the very first appointment, his level of care, compassion, and kindness has stood out as truly extraordinary. He takes the time to listen, explain every detail in a way that’s easy to understand, and most importantly, he treats you as a person—not just a patient.Dr. Kovoor,s bedside manner is unmatched, and it’s clear that he genuinely cares about your well-being, both physically and emotionally. I’ve seen many doctors over the years, but none have shown the same level of empathy, patience, and dedication as he has. In what can be the most difficult and overwhelming moments of life, he has been a steady, supportive, and comforting presence.Thanks to his expertise and unwavering support, I’ve felt informed, empowered, and truly cared for every step of the way. If you’re looking for an oncologist who combines medical excellence with genuine kindness, look no fur

no one better!
Dr. Kovoor makes you feel as though you are the only person he has on his schedule for the day. He is highly professional, caring, resourceful and knowledgeable. I feel profoundly blessed and safe in his care. I am grateful that he has been the one to oversee my care. When I first saw him, he assured me that he would help me with my treatments as though I were his own mother... and he assured me that he loves his mom! He is THE BEST! God bless you, dear man.

One of the best
Dr. Kovoor has helped us through my cancer diagnosis. He has a wonderful bedside manner and has one of the best team of physicians. He was very compassionate when learning we were moving out of the area; the process of my new provider to obtain my records was outstanding. We will miss Dr. Kovoor and his wonderful team (from the front desk to the lab, all the way through to check-out).

Exceptional care and treatment of Cancer patients
Dr. Kovoor diagnosed my stage 3 lymphoma and moved quickly to schedule all the needed tests and procedures so I could start my chemotherapy infusion within two weeks. Moreover, he gave me hope that my pain and my disease would dissolve after my prescribed treatment plan. Dr. Kovoor cares about his patients and delivers excellent patient care outcomes.

He was very clear about my cancer. Dr. K told me it would be a hard road ahead and was clear about my treatment plan. Also he has the best manners when he is giving you all the bad news. When you finally get to remission we celebrate with joy. He is the best and has an awesome staff.

He ABSOLUTELY cares about me and how I am doing. He spends the time necessary to understand exactly where I am in my cancer journey. He is aware of the latest advancements in cancer care, and his knowledge of those advancements is why I am still alive and in full remission. May God bless this wonderful and caring doctor.
