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.

Thorough, professional, kind, wonderful physician.
Staff is professional, well organized, pleasant to patients, a well run organization, so nice to do business with this practice. Dr. Thirumalavan is not one who prescribes medication unless he feels it will benefit the patient. He listens and offers his guidance on all medical issues. I am so fortunate that I found this physician.

Dr Thiru is one of the best internists in Somerset/New Brunswick area. He takes his time to thoroughly evaluate the patient . He is not your average doctor - he uses patient history and combines with his extra-ordinary experience to provide diagnosis. I trust his judgement 100% and will strongly recommend this doctor to anyone who needs a sincere opinion.
