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 initial visit was rescheduled due to Covid - which isn't his fault. When I was able to be seen - he did the initial exam, we talked about the desire for an IUD on my part. Because he was running late I was told I needed to reschedule to come back in- I explained that this was unacceptable due to me having to take time off of work. When I went back in for my follow-up it was another extended wait time (more than 30 minutes) and then it seemed as if he was inconvenienced by any questions I had. I will be looking for another doctor, because I shouldn't feel like an inconvenience or a burden.

Dr. Cherian is such a wonderful doctor! He listens really well to his patients and cares about their well being. I've seen other doctors who seemed to only care about making a quick, text book diagnosis without any consideration of how the patient was feeling- but not Dr. Cherian! He is very discerning, friendly, and has a warm personality!

I had mystery pain after the birth of my daughter that was both unbearable and undiagnosable by other doctors. Dr. Cherian figured out what the problem was, and prescribed a medication that fixed it. In addition to that, his staff is wonderful, he's personable and non-awkward, and their office seems to run smoothly and efficiently.
