Great experience and got straight to the point
Dr. Varkey takes his time to listen, evaluate and treat! He has repaired both of my shoulders with very little downtime. I highly recommend Dr. Varkey.
Took time to show me the MRI and options including just managing pain. Right then he arranged a cortisone shot. I’m comfortable. Thanks Dax!
Love this doctor… very easy going & friendly
Great thank you very much.
Beyond exceptional care provided by Dr Varkey, who went well out of his way to expedite and care for our son with exceptional strategic and thoughtful care.
Personable, listens well. answers all questions and professional excellence
Came highly recommended by my primary care Dan Paterson also has operated on my son-in-law years back and just a real nice guy and very well thought of highly recommended
He is a great listener!!
I visited this provider for a consultation to review my MRI and ongoing knee pain. While the MRI was reviewed, I felt the communication during the visit was unprofessional. I was told I should “look for another job” due to my current pain and limitations, without a clear explanation of my functional capacity or treatment guidance. There was also a comment made regarding insurance payments that felt inappropriate and not relevant to the medical discussion. As a patient, I came seeking clarity about my condition, pain, and ability to continue working in a physically demanding job. Instead, I left feeling dismissed rather than properly evaluated or guided. I believe medical discussions should remain focused on diagnosis, functional limitations, and treatment options, especially when patients are dealing with ongoing pain and work concerns.
