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.

Skilled, professional, empathetic
Dr. Pandya diagnosed the issue with our son's knee quickly and with clarity. Two second opinions confirmed his diagnosis (including a surgeon friend who also returned scuttlebutt from colleagues that they would all feel great about Dr. Pandya's performing surgery on their kids). Dr. Pandya took time to answer our many questions, and we always felt that he was fully present and ready to spend as much time with us as needed. Surgery went smoothly, and the follow-up appointments were helpful and reassuring, even when additional treatment was needed years post-op after an injury.Our whole family is deeply grateful for the capable and thoughtful care our son received from Dr. Pandya.

Each time I have worked with Dr. Pandya I have had a great experience. He is calm, comforting, and funny, which eliminated stress throughout my appointments and recovery. I had 2 knee surgeries done by him and each went smoothly due to his work and the high level care of the team he works with. He is always up to date with the most current techniques and findings, providing the newest and best surgical procedures. From a new appointment visit, to the pre op room, to a post op appointment 1 year after surgery, he was engaged, realistic, comforting, and professional. He takes the time to get to know the patient personally to provide better, more personalized care. Without a doubt I would be calling him again if any new injury were to arise!

Excellent Orthopedist
Dr Pandya is an excellent pediatric orthopedist. He understands the “athlete’s mentality” and how injuries impact a patient’s psyche beyond pain and recovery time. He has seen all of my children and provides outstanding care. My only wish: that we did not have to see him as frequently but that’s a function of active kids. I’m glad we have such a pro to whom to turn when the need arises.

Knee surgery
Initial visit with this doctor was excellent, however after surgery and completing my PT my knee was still bugging me and was undoubtedly worse, to the point I wish I had never gotten the surgery. But what really agitated me was during the check up when I explained to him that my knee felt worse, he said (from just looking at my knee and doing minor range of movement exercises) that there was “nothing wrong”. The check in only lasted 5-7 minutes and he quickly rushed out of the room leaving me in disbelief at how carefree he was with his patients. I understand doctors are very busy, but this was ridiculous. I feel as if he had an ego trip thinking he couldn’t have done anything wrong. Please go to a different doctor if you want personalized help and an overall better outcome.

I have never been to a doctor's office that is so efficient and well organized. They were very quick getting us in and Dr. Pandya was extremely competent and professional. Our daughter had a complex sports injury that other Orthopedic Surgeon's wouldn't work on because they didn't think it was possible to repair. Dr. Pandya took her case and is a life saver, 6 months later she is playing soccer again! Thank you Dr. Pandya. Best Dr & Staff/Facility - I'm so happy and impressed.
