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!
I was referred for a sleep study, but Dr. Narayen wanted to find out why my oxygen desaturates. He’s ordered testing and blood work to get answers. He listened closely to my concerns and history, which I found unusual, and spent more than an hour with me. That’s probably why they say he always runs late!

I saw Dr Narayanan in January 2020. My visit was very pleasant. I felt the Doctor answered all my questions and took all the time necessary to diagnose my case. He was professional, friendly , and interested in solving my health problems. My wait time was normal for a specialist office. The staff was also very helpful.

Excellent care, friendly professionalism, great staff. We were very confident about his expertise. Dr. Narayanan was a 2nd opinion after an unsatisfactory experience with a different practice in another facility. What a great find!! Problem diagnosed, treatment was swift and right on target. Can't recommend Dr. Narayanan and Espanola Presbyterian highly enough.

Scheduling is horrible. He constantly overbooks. Frequently cancels your appointment then reschedules and overbooks later on. December to June to get a CPAP machine. You can just plan on an hour and a half for an office visit, and don't be surprised if it is two.

Dr. Daraynan and his staff were very thorough and accurate. I did a sleep study at Presbyterian Espanola Hospital where I was observed to have woken up 70 times an hour due to obstructive sleep apnea. After fitting me with a cpap machine and making a few adjustments, I am sleeping much better. I was also tested for other possible pulmonary issues and diagnosed with asthma, something I didn't know I had. I recommend him highly.
