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.

Seems burnt out
I am a current patient. I have to continue being so for now, but I'll be changing offices or at least doctors as soon as I'm able. Dr. Ashagari doesn't take my concerns seriously, being completely dismissive in many cases and ignoring my physical pain. She doesn't respect my own research but doesn't educate me as to why it's not applicable and did not give me a referral to a doctor who would, yet gave me less important referrals on multiple occasions. She is not responsive in the slightest, and when I do receive a response it is from her PA only.

Dr Ashagari cares for several residents in the group home where I work. I would highly reccomend her and her partner, Dr Shastri. Dr Ashagari is compassionate and patient. She cares enough to give the best possible health care to indivuduals with intellectual disabilites at all stages of their lives. The office staff is caring and efficient. We rely on them for alot of last minute paperwork requests and they always come through for us and are never rude. I don't mind waiting if she gets backed up with patients because that means she takes the time needed with each of us.

Dr. Ashagari is efficient, professional, knowledgeable, personal, and extremely responsive. She identified a previously unidentified heart arrhythmia in my husband during a routine physical. Highly recommend her.
