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 Kothari is the rudest, and most arrogant doctor I have ever met. His bedside manner is nonexistent. His female resident appeared enamored by him and giggled at every rude comment he made to me. After gallbladder surgery he made me cry. The nurse was appalled and agreed that his behavior was uncalled for. I should have trusted my gut after my first visit and found domeone else to perform my surgery. Find another doctor …. Trust me you will be glad you did.

Dr. Kothari is the best surgeon i ever had. He cares about his patients and follow up. His bedside manner is the best. His knowledge and experience can’t be described.

I saw Dr. Kothari to have a very small cyst removed on my back. It turned into a gaping wound that did not close for over 2 months. The worst part was that he gave no post op care. He took the stitches out after 2 weeks and it immediately opened up in the office and he actually tried to squeeze it back together and then basically left and said good luck. I was very fortunate that my mother is a nurse and she did all of my wound changes. When presented with all of these issues he did not feel it "necessary" to see me again or provide wound care. DO NOT LET HIM TOUCH YOU!
