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.

Very friendly atmosphere!
Dr. Anand is the best! Scheduled appointments are quick and no wait to see the Dr,

Cares more about his bottom line then the patients
I thought more could be done in the office at least that's what the commercial wants you to believe. I felt lied too and taken advantage of and left feeling had. . Lots of talking and no action alot can be talked about over the phone so not to waste anyone's time and money. Doesn't discuss options. I feel like I was rushed.

Professional and knowledgeable
Dr. Anand is very nice and professional. He sits down and takes time to talk and explain things to you. He answers all of your questions and makes you feel very comfortable. I would highly recommend him. As a medical professional myself I know that he is straight forward and honest. You can always rest assured that you are in good hands and had great care when you have left his office. His staff is great and very polite. So, do yourself a favor and go and get yourself great medical treatment.
