Wait time was an hour after scheduled time! Not good
I'm very happy with my doctor!
Some of the things about my health were not correct in my chart. He corrected them. I brought in the updated meds etc. and he entered them in.
This was an emergency consult for surgery. I was being worked into his schedule. He was very clear about the next step and what to expect.
Dr. Agarwal and his MA were excellent! Front Desk staff was friendly and procedure scheduler was kind.
Great dr
Everyone was so professional and extremely nice.
Yes, good afternoon, my name is [...]. The nurses behaved very well, right? When I went to the appointment to consult with the doctor, the doctor was also kind and professional. He also looked at you. You are very professional and you can be well. Right now I am still not 100% recovered. I am in recovery right now, that is, I am in the process of getting well, right? But on top of that, right, everything is fine there, right, and you can thank me for everything. Thank you all and for everything.
Impeccable customer relationship specialization.
The entire staff was excellent.
Thank you for the advice on how to stay on the right track and in a healthy direction.
What an amazing experience. From first talking with front desk staff to William who is impeccable and making sure you know what to expect and also kind and funny to the Dr who actually makes you feel like a human. I love that he has you talk in his office. It's really one of the best health visits I've ever had. They run an amazing practice.
It was very easy for me. That was very comfortable. They treat me real nice and it was faster to do this interview with the doctor and maybe very confident. I got all the information. Thank you.
I left the office quite satisfied, both with the doctor and the staff who works there.
Yeah, Mr. Amit Agarwal is a fantastic doctor, you know, and I trust him a lot, you know. In the past also, he really did a great job for me when I had an internal hemorrhoid surgery to him and endoscopy as well as colonoscopy and he is awesome, awesome, awesome, top of the line doctor and I would recommend him to a lot of friends of mine for sure and family. Good luck to him. Thank you.
Dr Agarwal was very informative and professional during examination
Great doctor. Helpful staff.
Very professional knowing caring
The group was quick to sign me in, take care of the business end of things, get me in to an exam room and Dr. Agarwal performed his exam and advised a treatment plan. Fully trust him and his office personnel.
He assured me from the beginning that he would take care of me and did. The last step I had was surgery and he was awesome.
Very informative regarding upcoming surgery. Thank you.
The whole process appeared to be a business setup, rather than a heath care service. Didn't get enough time to discuss the details of the treatment plan and the surgery option that was suggested. We were given one option, but the visit summary note says that multiple options were given and discussed. We felt like that we were rushed make a decision on the suggested surgery option.
Dr Agarwal made it possible to see him asap since I was in so much pain. I appreciate his thoroughness and writing things down for me to follow and remember. Also, when I asked a question in the MyChart app, Dr Agarwal replied the same day. I appreciate him and his staff.
This is a great doctor and the staff are very nice and helpful I was very pleased
The doctor seemed to be in a hurry.
Parking was a bummer but everything else was great.
Excellent communication... The receptionist as well as the doctor did a great job communicating with me.
The doctor was really kind and took the time to talk/listen.
Dr. Agarwal is a wonderful doctor and I love him and he's always been very, very good.
Friendly, efficient & professional staff
