What a difference a day makes. The previous day I had waited 3 hours to even be called back. This visit was extraordinary. Check-in and called back within 10 minutes, did test, saw Dr.Khemka within 20min. Made decision and was schedule in surgery unit immediately for beta blocking injections - ALL done in less than 2.5 hours. The Plus - I loved working with Dr. Khemka, he was there every step of the way. Knowledgeable with professional courtesy for patients.

He is very knowledgeable and informative. He takes the time to listen to individual issues and addresses them accordingly.
not a fan, more interested in you being a drug addict than an actual patient in need of help, never again
Verified patient
I think they should let you know that it's going to be a 2-3 hour wait. That's ridiculous
GREAT doctor!!! Very nice with great bedside manners. I highly recommend!

Horrible

Rude front office and assistants
Verified patient
Dr. Khemka is not big on caring and does not explain things well. As far as wait times I think waiting over 2 hours in Pre-Op for him to show up is a bit excessive. And be very wary of his billing as it is totally incorrect. His office manager is quite smart to stay behind the bullet proof glass in front office as she is the nastiest person I have ever dealt with in any medical office. Think twice before choosing this Dr. although the nurses were fantastic in surgery it is not worth the negative things.

GOT IN WITHIN 30 MINUTES, BUT THEY WERENT THAT FRIENDLY, AND THE DR SEEMED MAD BECAUSE I DIDNT BRING MY MEDS. I WAS OUT OF THEM AND HAD MY PRINTOUT FROM MY PHARMACY. DIDNT CARE, AND WAS RUDE. NEVER GOING BACK. DIDNT LIKE WHAT THE OTHER DRS GAVE ME FOR YEARS, WANTED TO CHANGE EVERYTHING. THEY SUCKED.

Great excellent doctor.

So far so good
Verified patient
Overrated. Stuffs were good but the doctor was NOT helpful nor nice at all. Inconvenient location and facility has some problems now and they offered me to go 15 more miles away from my address ! so, I prefer to see an another doctor instead of keep seeing him.
He was extremely nice. Very professional but made me feel very comfortable. I wish I would have made an appointment with his office way sooner. The IV push they gave me seemed to help me the rest of the day and was able to sleep all but once during the night. That was a great accomplishment for me with my back and elbow pain. Thank You Dr Khemka and staff. Looking forward to my injection on Monday. Nervous, but that is just me. I hope it is Dr. Khemka doing the injections!!!
