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. Behl treated me for Stage IV Lymphoma 10 years ago. He was very thorough and professional. Saved my life. I still see him for followup visits

Dr. Behl is a thorough and thoughtful physician, whose expertise and caring attention brought me and my family much needed reassurance after I had a scary blood clot. From the minute I met him, it was clear to me that Dr. Behl was a special physician. I later learned that he is highly regarded by many doctors who work with him. I highly recommend him.

I was diagnosed with PSL 3 years ago. Dr Behl started on day 1 with an aggressive treatment plan. 96 hour chemo and I am getting weekly chemo. Dr Behl has an amazing sense of humor and his diagnosis and treatment have given me hope for the future. He is a patient first physician. I am so lucky to have him as my Oncologist.

Excellent care. I was a patient of Dr. Behl's for sixth months after a referral for abnormal symptoms including lymph node swelling. While many doctors would jump to unnecessary tests and exposure to radiation, Dr. Behl knew that sometimes the best thing to do is to do nothing. After sixth months my symptoms resolved without harmful intervention thanks to Dr. Behl. He has great bedside manners and is hilarious as well! I felt well taken care of in his expert hands.

I have been under Dr.Behl's for the past year.He was not only reassuring to me and my family, but,he explained my diagnosis answered all our questions, set the tone for my treatment. He is charming, ripping smart,funny,and very dedicated to his work. I have never experienced a more kind and dedicated physician, and those who work with him often share with me how much they value him. THATS HUGE. I am very thankful that he was recommended to me.

Excellent. I have melodysplastic anemia that no doctor could explain before Dr. Behl's diagnosis. I am not reproducing enough red blood cells. Unfortunately my insurance will not pay the aranesp medication unless my hemoglobin is more than 2.0 readings below the beginning of the normal range. Dr. Behl has now authorized iron infusions to try to give me more energy. My metabolism is very low, causing extreme fatigue.

After I fired an unsatisfactory oncologist Dr. Behl was recommended to me for a serious lymphoma. Because I was mid eighties with irregular heart beat, having had a heart attack and quintuple bypass, my condition was dangerous. I was in the hospital for 109 days, with six multi day chemo therapies, and six spinal taps. He continually monitored my condition, adjusting treatment. Four years later I am in excellent condition, cancer free, thanks to his talent and care. He saved my life.
