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.

Cannot Recommend
Had a brief ER visit and they recommended I see a gastroenterologist. Made an appointment with Dr. Hotchandani's office letting them know the circumstances. Filled out all of the medical history forms online they required; they contacted me a total of five times to confirm I would be there. I showed up an hour before my appotinment and was told he wouldn't be in; not only that but Dr. Hotchandani doesn't see 'hospital patients'. When I asked why, the receptionist said, 'I don't know, I just work here'. I cannot recommend this doctor or his office in any way.

Great Disappointment
Read alot of good about this facility and doctor. PRO - None CON Doctor only see's you 1 time and then you go to NP, nurse was totally incompetent, never returned calls regarding a medicine they gave me that I couldnt take, was suppose to call me for a test because they didnt have the equipment - said 2 week been well over a month - I would never return here. Look around, better facilities in our area.

Most grateful to Dr. Hotchandani, he is very compassionate, caring and funny, too. He calmed me down as his demeanor is just wonderful. I appreciate the fact that he ordered tests for me so timely, he is a good man and a Dr that abides by "First, do no harm"
