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.

Subhuman P0S. Doesn’t care about patients, only money. Performed an inpatient procedure at the hospital but will not take the patient for a follow up appoint OF HIS OWN WORK. Offered to pay in cash 100% in advance. Find a doctor you’ll be allowed to follow up with after they make $10,000 off you.

I called the office recommended by my pharmacy because my current doctor is no longer practicing medicine. When I spoke to the front desk explained my situation and what I take The Woman in an Extremley judgmental and rudely stated "We Do Not Contribute to The Opioid Epidemic ". Even so She Had No Right To Speak to Me the way she did.

I have already had 2 reviews rejected by the Moderators in regards to this Gentleman. Look, If your looking for a Pain Mgmnt. Dr. ---- Look elsewhere ! Just not a good guy ! Last visit in Aug, 2021 - My lower back , which I have had multiple surgeries on, I was in excruciating pain as Varma was preparing me for Injections to relieve some of my misery, I used some COLOFUL language as he examined - TOLD me not use such language, a brief debate ensued. Varma, so caring, told me to FIND ANOTHER DOCTOR ! - I left his office VERY angry, without the Injections and in near crippling Pain. If there is a redeeming part of his practice (I have not met his partner !) The staff, including Karina and Megan are outstanding ! I hope I cleaned this review up enough, for it to be posted !

Every visit has been satisfactory. I really don’t mind waiting as the doctor will spend as much time with you as he did with his previous patient. Trust me when I tell you, you will be more than satisfied with the doctor and his staff.

Dr. Varma is very stern but knows what he is talking about, never rushes my appointment, listens which is most important, Unlike other doctors he cares. My two girls at the front desk Karina & Megan are awesome! You will adore the two of them. I definitely recommend Dr. Varma and his office.

I've known Dr. Varma for a decade now and have referred numerous patients to him. All of which were satisfied with his services. Today I found the need for his services myself. I strained my low back working on patient. I called his office and they said they would get me in ASAP. Within two hours I am pain free. "Thank You DOC!" The professional services provided were performed beyond my expectations and the results even better. I returned to my office pain free and able to see my patients.
