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.

Urgent care very kind!
Saw him in urgent care for toe break. He was very kind and wasted no time! Went above and beyond in writing prescription for knee scooter when he spotted me struggling to walk to check-out with my new boot on!

They may show as in-network on your insurance website, but they bill under a different company name, which can get flagged as out-of-network. This resulted in huge bills. They outsource billing to a third-party company, who is unresponsive to phone calls and emails, and put the responsibility on the patient to resolve billing issues on their behalf. I spoke to George personally, who promised to look into my issue and help me find a reasonable solution for both of us, but then he ghosted me.

Dr. Varughese is a caring physician that asks good questions and is genuinely concerned for your welfare. This seems to be trait that is hard to find in the "push them through" system of health care we typically experience.
