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.

This is boss of a bad place.
Ms. Kalirao is notified as head person for the Messed up TNI position so I can not represent her, but all the people working there are not legal, not truth saying, and also will sieve., and some are problematics. They purposely charge wrong insurances to form patient to pay cash, then charge the correct insurance to get the money a second time. They refuse to answer answer any phone call and after promising to call 24 hours later promise at all to people they are trying to do bad to. The company published correct and incorrect address but refused to make changes although multiple customers had to go to several locations, which is hard for patients that are limited in driving or even walking. This whole observation should be canceled if not sued. Non quality medical, if there are some, should find a new place. The rest of the crooks should go to jail or at least be fired.

Dangerous Position, AVOID AVOID AVOID – Feb 21, 2025

Very disappointed!
If you don't mind hopping on a veritable patient conveyor belt, go see Dr. Kalirao. My last visit to her practice had me waiting in a waiting room the size of my bedroom with 30 other clients and more sitting on the ground outside. I was not seen until an hour and a half after my appointment. And throughout my diagnosis and treatment which consisted of multiple visits, never did I feel like I was anything other than a number to extract money from. The final diagnosis was of little use and poorly explained. I will never go to this doctor ever again and I would advise any other potential patient to seek care somewhere else!

Clinic Visit
am a regular patient of Dr Sonia who always comes with new ideas and techniques to solve my neurological problems. Every time the visit is so assuring and healing that I have recommended to everyone in my circle this clinic. Front desk staff is very cooperative and supportive.

Dr. Sonia is wonderful! It’s been super hard for me to trust a primary care provider since moving in the states. Dr. Sonia is the best! She listens carefully and is very caring! She and her assistant do an amazing job for their patients.

I have been to 3 neurologist before I found Dr. Sonia Kalirao. The wait to see her was almost three months but it was worth it. She and the staff are so caring. She changed my wife's life. Gave us so many choices and gave us hope. My wife who has Parkinson,s has been suffering for long time. She is now in just few weeks. Able to walk. After injections now is able to swallow. She is also getting enrolled in a trial. I highly recommend her. God bless her.

I have an absolutely wonderful experience with Dr Sonia Kalirao on my last visit. She is a great listener and encourages patients to speak out their problems and pain in detail.Dr Sonia offered me no of ways to treat my problem and then prescribed me most suitable treatment to me.Her team is super efficient and responds for refill in basically the same day. Right from entering the clinic to exiting it COVID-19 protocol is observed at every step. Front desk and nursing staff are very cooperative and accommodating.I hundred per cent recommend this clinic
