Excellent great doctor
Very nice young man
He is very Good doctor
Dr. P always take time with me to discuss my knee problems and makes my knee better each time I see him. He’s an excellent physician technically and socially.
I thought he was very thorough and gave good advice. Would've been a 5 if the appointment had started at 9:20, as scheduled, rather than after 10.
Was thorough with his exam and diagnosis.
Amazing Doctor! Worked through a difficult case with taking over from a problematic surgeon. Listened closely, didn't rush, very professional. Highly recommended.
“I’m very happy with the care I received. Dr. Rajeev made me feel comfortable and supported.
Dr Pandarinath is an excellent doctor. Never in rush. Keenly listen to your problems and answer your questions.
He didn't know that I had an mri that he prescribed. He had to look up the mri results. I was there for a review with him on the findings. I read the results on my Adventist health care imaging portal. I have a trace of a popliteal cyst. He didn't even mention that. I left very confused and dissatisfied.
