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.

She is friendly and listens. Probably the best staff I have ever dealt with.

I recently had a sleep consultation with Dr. Dhawan, and it was an exceptional experience. Dr. Dhawan is highly knowledgeable and took the time to thoroughly understand my sleep issues. Her compassionate and attentive approach made me feel heard and supported. She provided clear explanations and actionable advice that significantly improved my sleep quality. I highly recommend Dr. Dhawan for anyone seeking expert and empathetic care for their sleep concerns.

She said “Oh”, so this suggests to me that she didn’t even read my chart. I was told to make a follow up appointment, which I did. 4-6 months later I had the home sleep study (insurance) which was fine. I then went back to the office to meet with Dr. Dhawan again, 45 seconds later she was escorting me to the front desk to make another appointment in 6 weeks to go over how the new machine was working for me. 5 weeks later I called the office and informed them that I hadn’t received the machine and I needed to cancel my appointment. “Oh” was what I heard again and had anyone called me.

I found her to be pleasant, interested and focused on my sleep apnea. She has suggested other healthy avenues to enhance my sleep apnea and general health. Overall good experience with Dr. Dhawan. I would recommend her.
