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.

My safety was important and they had me call from my car before I came in to the office so to avoid a busy waiting room. I saw Dr Behara close to my scheduled time. Dr Behara listens to my concerns, my symptoms, and we discuss how we can deal with my health issues.

Dr.Behara has lowered my blood pressure to a normal level now. He and his staff are very attentive to your needs. He listens to your needs and then prescribes a regimen to get you to a normal and safe blood pressure. I can't thank him enough for what he has done for me. I would recommend him to everyone who has high blood pressure, as he can surely help them.
