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.

I had cervical discs that were about to collapse on my spinal cord. Dr Narayan did the surgery asap and I was able to go home the next day!! None better anywhere!!

He is the best this world has ever seen as far as we are concerned! He treats people like they are human not just a patient or a number of statistics like alot of these doctors and hospitals do. Thank Dr Prithvi Narayan for performing our destiny’s brain surgery. You will always be in our hearts forever no matter where we are. He always discussed everything in detail with you so you could understand what was going on or what was going to be done with you. We trust him with our own life as well as our child’s. Any child would be real lucky to have him . He never rushes you out of his office and makes you feel welcome! If we could give him 100 gold stars for excellents we would.

There are no words to express our gratitude and appreciation to Dr. Narayan and his team for performing this extremely difficult surgery on our son. We felt comfortable and calm because we believed Dr. Narayan's long experience and attentiveness. Every day he monitored the progress after the surgery and always answered questions. We were able to reach him by phone 24/7. He is extremely professional and kind on every level. With all our hearts we thank Dr. Narayan for the professional care.

Dr. Narayan starting treating my great grandson, Kingsley, when he was 5 months old (2015). He was born with Hydrocephalus and needed to have a shunt inserted when he was 11 days old -- this was done at our local hospital. Unfortunately, he needed several more revisions before he was sent to St Christopher's Hosp and Dr Narayan. He has had many procedures for his condition and I couldn't ask for a better doctor to be treating him.
