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 wasn't too bad, but staff member was horrible.
The Dr wasn't too bad, but his scheduler was horrible. I told her I couldn't do anything in August, she said how about August 8th. I said no, I can't do that because of work (he said that I would be off work for a week). She said how about August 22nd because he only does this every other Monday at the place that they wanted to do it. I said that it wasn't going to work because I would never be able to get that week off of work. She got very upset and said wait a minute. She came back and said that there was an opening on August 11th. Again, I said August wouldn't work at all and that particular day, I was one of only two people that were going to be in the office, so that was a no go. Then, she said that I would have to go back out to where I checked in and make an appointment with a different doctor. She then just walked away. VERY unprofessional.

Terrible Bariatric sleeve surgery resulted in a leak, sepsis, A fib, 5 hospitals, and 5 months of disaster. Life long medical problems from the antibiotics used to fight the sepsis caused by the sleeve leak.

Great Surgan, I went in for an appendectomy, he came in explained everything super well and did a fantasic job doing the surgery. I really would recommend him for anyone I know who has an appendicitis.

Very thorough exam. Didn't want to just rush in to surgery. Listened to what I had to say and explained things clearly.

Horrible experience. I am in sever pain and was able to get an appointment with Nirmalan and was considering going to the emergency room or seeing him. I decided to see him instead. He would not listen to me and said I should be on medication for 2 weeks and seen again. I kept telling him I am in too much pain and cannot stand 2 weeks but he said the other option is to refer you which will take 2-3 weeks. Basically NOTHING. I do NOT recommend him.
