I was so pleased with the clinic and Dr. Agarwala..I felt very at easy and comfortable with his manner and how he addressed my back issues. I felt he really was companionate and wanted to help me.
It's a very scary thing to do this type of surgery but my fears were aleaviated for the most part with his confidence and caring....both myself and husband left feeling I will be in the best hands with a top notch surgeon.

Dr. Agarwala is very good @ motivating his patients. The office was being renovated in it's entirety and it was a very long wait just to see him. However, after the wait he was happy to see us and we him. He was pleased with how the surgery worked out and also seemed pleased at the recovery I had made.

I have been around the block with many doctors the last few years and Dr. Agarwala is tops from my first visit. Right to point with diagnosis and plan of action. My friends were right and then some! Comforting while dealing with my issues to have a doctor of his caliber in my corner. Thank you Dr. Agarwala, thank you.
March 21, 2016Michael S.Verified patient
Once again I was well taken care of. I really feel the doctor has an intuitive understanding of my medical issue and my treatment needs.
Dr Agarwala literally changed my life 10 years ago when he performed surgery on my lower back and I am eternally grateful

March 1, 2016Rick L.Verified patient
Dr. A. was wonderful. He explains everything in detail, and always answers my questions. I am confident to go into surgery with him.
February 22, 2016Cindy S.Verified patient
I left the clinic yesterday thinking I had just wasted 1 1/2 hours. My post surgical requests fell upon deaf ears. If I had a co-pay on this visit I would ask for a refund.
March 11, 2016James U.Verified patient
I have only seen Dr. Agarwala once, the initial visit but I liked the interaction I had with him. Dr Agarwala clearly explained my options. At the end of the visit I did have to take my MRI DVD out of the computer myself and ask the staff for the sleeve for it other than that all was good. He didn't review the X-Ray I had taken when I arrived so I'm not sure that was really necessary to be done (additional exposure).
I arrived early for the appointment (30 mins) but ended up being called back about 15 minutes after my scheduled time so it was a bit of a wait.
February 25, 2016Maggie M.Verified patient
From getting in to see the Dr the xrays and the prognosis was all done within an hour, that's great. He explained different scenarios that I have the option to do and wasn't talking to me in medical terms. Very good experience.
February 23, 2016Amy E.Verified patient
Dr. Agarwala was receptive to my son's hug for having helped him with the surgery. He is cordial and straight forward in his responses to our questions. He is very professional and we would recommend him to anyone who may need his kind of services.
February 22, 2016Larry F.Verified patient
He I a Dr. Who holds nothing back. Something I like. His advice to me is something I'm going to take and follow through on. I like his direct approach.
February 29, 2016Michael M.Verified patient
Bedside manner horrible. He treated me like he thought he was some type of God, and I knew nothing about my body.
I will never go back. Thank God that's a choice for me.
Location was good, staff was great and he was educated on the subject. Just the way he presented himself was horrible.

I have seen Dr. A only 1 time, but he seems to know his speciality very well. I have seen a number of very good physicians on the East coast concerning my back problems. Dr. A did precisely what I hoped he would at an initial appointment. I feel I am in great hands here in Colorado.
December 9, 2015Harry S.Verified patient
Top notch!I
January 4, 2016Randy K.Verified patient
Dr. Agarwala and his entire staff are awesome. He answers all of my questions and is very confident. His medical assistant is very funny, and she helped lighten an otherwise tense moment when I am in pain, waiting for my MRI results. :) His scheduler is also very friendly and courteous. It's nice to have such a caring staff and surgeon. I would recommend him without a doubt.
October 27, 2015Cindy S.Verified patient
As always, Dr. Agarwala was most receptive to my concerns. He was willing to spend as much time with me as I needed without making me feel rushed.
