Horrible doctor! First available doctor for televisit (I see why) with severe Covid symptoms related to asthma and breathing wanting to get paxlovid prescription , which I have gotten a number of times in the past with no issues. She refused to give me a prescription, saying I hadn’t done bloodwork...

Review for Dr. Danda

This visit was a follow up cystoscopy. Very comfortable office and Dr. Agarwal is wonderful. The nursing staff is top notch here too. One feels well taken care of here. My initial diagnosis was for bladder cancer. I've had a very positive outcome.

Review for Dr. Agarwal

My visit was a 6 month follow up after a biopsy. What this means is that this visit capped off a six month period that I found truly frightening since I had never experienced this before. It began with an PA who gave me little information when I needed far more, which greatly increased my stress....
