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.

EXCELLENT NEPHROLOGIST
Dr. was interested in the entire patients history. He looked at the scope of his history, had reviewed results before appointment and pertinent questions and gave us information based on results . He was thorough hands on on and empathetic. Honest and straightforward & thorough. He was able to be moderately hopeful, given the circumstances, communicated well with other specialists. Ordered tests but not without being certain they were necessary. Very patient, very smart, and excellent communicator. Recommend to any needing nephrology and BP control . BEST listener and deeply intelligent physician.

Dr. Hongalgi is just what the doctor ordered! He was very pleasant yet serious. He explained my status and conditions in ways that I understood and could relay to my wife accurately. He spent ample time with me while not seeming rushed. We built a solid doctor-patient relationship quickly which established needed trust. His #1 goal was to get me better. His overall goal is to get us all better as he stated his deep concern for the health of our nation concerning high blood pressure, diabetes and kidney disease multiple times. I have already recommended Dr. Hongalgi to a friend. His staff was also very compassionate.

Excellent Nephrologist and a very nice gentleman. I suffered kidney failure and have been a patient of Dr. Hongalgi for several years since the problem began. Thanks to his good attention I have been leading a normal lifestyle. I recommended him to a family member who needed consultation as well.
