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.

Dr. Ghaneker is very knowledgeable and took time to explain to us what was going on and what could be done to try to improve the condition. He and his staff were all very professional, friendly, easy to talk to.

Excellent Doctor!
My experience has been 5 star. Professional staff, down to earth explanation of my condition, follow up calls, Dr Ghanekar cares very much. He comes highly recommended by people I know at Blessing. The many satisfied patients don’t leave reviews.

Very poor. My mom was a direct admission from her PCP to Dr. Ghanekar. During the time he was her hospital physician; eight days, he never spent more than 2 minutes discussing her care, diagnosis, treatment etc. Literally no more than two minutes, He was slow to respond to the nurses request, sometimes longer than 36-hours. He refused to seek specialty care in the areas of pysch and neurology. Lack of care and compassion. We fired him and now have a hospitalist. He's horrible.
