The best service from Dr Kunal Jain.
Very personable, great communicator.
Dr. Jain is an amazing doctor who has a team of doctors etc... that are just as amazing.
They treat them very well.
Very friendly staff and doctor!
I was required to arrive 25 minutes early for 10:30 appointment, but waited until 11:50 to go into inner room.
For my first and only visit with the doctor, he was very kind and genuinely interested in my problem, looking for a better solution for my health. He explained exactly why I couldn't have a biopsy with him. He treated my neck and also explained why it wasn't possible. I would definitely recommend him to my friends and family. Thank you very much.
Everyone is wonderful and I truly appreciate their care and kindness.
The dr and staff were excellent the wait time was extremely long. Both Dr and staff apologized after the fact.
Dr. Jain and his staff are awesome, they are the best.
Staffing was very organized. Excellent doctors.
I would like to say that my visit was very personal and excellent everyone treating me nice and friendly made me feel better answered all my questions
My experience with the doctor was very good. I consider that he is a very attentive doctor who listens to the patient and gives him good news. (unreadable) makes me stay calm since I have a diagnosis of cancer and honestly I know that I am in good hands. He did not want to only do the tests that he brought as a reference from the other doctor and decided to do his own more in-depth tests and really know what condition I am in as a patient. I love it, I love that he takes the time to investigate my condition before performing surgery on me. I recommend the doctor with my eyes closed.
