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.

Very Thorough
This was my first visit with Dr Poddar. I found him very much interested in my health, past, present and future. He immediately got to work doing tests others have failed to do in the past. I was impressed with that. I think he will be an important asset to my medical team.

Great doctor
I think Dr. poddar is one of the smartest doctors I’ve ever Had the privilege of going to. He knows so much about so many other things that are wrong with me and where he should send me to have different issues taken care of. I highly recommend him and I’m glad I was sent to him in the first place.

Knowledgeable and caring towards patients
He listens to your concerns and tries to address them in ways that are understood by patients without a medical background. He supports and refers you to the medical team who are your doctors.

Welcome to IOWA
I just had an appointment with doctor Poddar at the Southeast Iowa Regional Medical Center, West Burlington for a newly diagnosed Rheumatoid arthritis.I found him pretty competent and knowledgeable on RA. He is very precise in his explanation, maybe a little academic but he woke me up. At first I didn’t understand how serious is this condition and it was a choc for me but he turned the conversation positive and made me feel lucky to catch this illness at the early stage. The introduction of the proposed treatment is still questionable because the possible side effect are awful. Anyway the other issue is my insurance. Because he just moved in Iowa he is not register in the network of approved practitioners but I assume it is just a question of time for him to complete all administration paperwork inherent to a new position.Welcome to IOWA doctor Poddar

DR Poddar has no skills in knowing how to listen and interact with his patients. He can't comprehend what I was asking and saying and would not even let me talk or ask questions or state concerns. A very poor doctor.
