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 husband went to see him for an evaluation of his cervical spinal stenosis, to follow-up on his northern Virginia surgeon's evaluation 2 years previously. Dr. Natarajan barely looked at my husband's MRI and told us that his neck was perfectly fine, even though the MRI report stated that there were areas of "severe" stenosis. He practically shouted at us, "Why are you here?", implying that we were wasting his time and rushed us out the door. Never had we been treated so rudely by a physician. We will NOT see him again!
