Excellent Dr and Staff
Verified patient
He wastes no time but still keeps the conversation warm and personable. I appreciated how efficient and focused he was while making sure I felt heard and comfortable
Verified patient
Dr. Kothari was very thorough and polite. What I most appreciate about this office is that before simply doing procedures (or even starting an appointment for that matter), they check with your insurance company to be sure you don’t incur unexpected costs. I went in on a Saturday and they weren’t immediately able to contact my insurance, so rather than just trying to get my money, they were willing to let me cancel the appointment if they couldn’t say for certain that I’d only be responsible for my copay. Thankfully everything worked out and this speaks volumes about their integrity. Looking forward to trusting them with my care.
Good experience, however update address properly. 906 building and suite is N, which was missing. Had to give a call to find out Which suite I am supposed to visit as building has multiple suites and there is no listing board to figure out
Verified patient
Friendly, upbeat doctor with funny and kind bedside manner who was able to have me seen quickly and before my appointment times.
The reception receptionist was very welcoming as soon as I walked in, and the doctor that I saw was very thorough. He took me in his office, sat me down and asked about my medical history, medications etc. then brought me into the doctors room checked my lungs checked me for a sinus infection. Gave me an antibiotic. Overall, I was very happy. I just wish the place had parking.
Verified patient
He was very professional and had great bedside manners. Listened to my concerns and provided immediate relief as well as a plan for a long term treatment.
Verified patient
Dr. Kothari was so amazing. I am usually skeptical of male doctors and afraid of feeling overlooked or not listened to. He has amazing bed side manner, makes jokes and I immediately felt comfortable with him. His staff is attentive and nice and the office is so clean. I even almost passed out after a shot and they were so sweet and helped me and took extra time with me.
Verified patient
He was fantastic and super friendly. Made the whole process go by super quick and honestly very enjoyable. 10/10 doctor would recommend and will be back!
Scheduling an appointment online was easy. The doctor called for me in his office in a timely manner after I checked in. He listened to all of my concerns and was patient. The appointment went quickly and smoothly.
