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. Neelam is a caring, no-nonsense physician. My husband was referred to Dr. Neelam after 5 months of being unable to receive the proper care for his condition from other doctors. After 1 month of various non-invasive tests and consultations, we have an answer to his problems! Dr. Neelam took the time to explain and treated us with respect. I would recommend him and his office staff to anyone.

6 months ago I was in great pain from December 23 rd with it becoming progressively worse into the month of May. I was referred to Dr. Neelam. Absolutely great. He knew what was wrong from just talking to me and an examination. Confirmed the diagnosis within 4 days. He listens and there is no fooling around. I was in the hospital in 8 days and well on the road to recovery. Thank you Dr. Neelam.

I went to Dr. Neelam to discuss serious digestive issues I had been having for some time. I had documented my symptoms carefully for months. I explained all of my issues in detail and how much they had affected my life in a very negative way. Dr. Neelam did not let me finish. He told me it was "all in my head". He then went on to discuss patients he had in the hospital with my symptoms who had required parts of their colon removed explaining they were much sicker than me and his time was better spent there. He humiliated me and made me feel like I was not worth his time and that I would basically not make him any money. I felt cast aside and embarrassed. I left the office crying. I am not sure if he is just not well-versed enough in his field to understand my symptoms and thus just wanted me out of his office or if he just realized that since i did not require expensive procedures, I would not be worth his time from a monetary standpoint.

Dr. Neelam is very attentive to your needs. He spends time with his patients and is not hurried. He is very conservative in his approach and will not do anything unless there is a good reason. I have been going to Dr. Neelam several years and trust his advice.

I was quite hesitant to have a colonoscopy and avoided it for over 20 years. I went ahead and had the procedure. Much to my surprise, it was so much easier than I had expected. The staff and dr. Made me comfortable and the entire procedure was painless. There is no reason not to get this done. I would rate my experience an A Plus!!
