Doctor Varma and his team were very professional, nice, caring, understanding and passionate towards their patients.
- Gezelle
I like the doctor, and I liked the staff. My experience was great! I can always get an appointment on time.
Although this doctor has a great bedside manner the wait in his office is absolutely ludicrous. I have waited for up to 4 hours to have a pain shot. One in which I was told I couldn't eat or drink past midnight. Twelve hours later and still not called into a room. This is disgraceful!
