Review for Dr. Khetpal
Saw Dr Cherian for the first time today. He was very interested in my case and took the time to listen and asked good questions. Really felt like he cared about helping me feel better.

Review for Dr. Cherian
We sat waiting for a long time and the doctor only came in for 2 mins. Told us get an x-ray and then the office sent a bill in the mail for nearly 400 bucks. Would not recommend. Look up Southeast Medical Group - they are known for overcharging patients.

Dr Montalvo is the best specialist I have seen. If you are looking for great health please take a moment to consider seeing her about your concerns.

Dr. Khetpal put my mind at ease over a condition that has had me worried. I greatly appreciated his understanding of my concerns. He also suggested I see a specialist about my tremors which I have had for a while, but no one has ever given me that advice before! I am definitely taking it!
