Dr. A spent most of the time explain the process he is using in order to obtain the best possible results: (1). in light of my complicated medical picture centered around Type 2 Diabetes and its incipient complications, and (2) to minimize my risk in obtaining same. There is a logical pathway that he is following in this respect.

He went beyond the norm to figure out what was going on with my shoulder. Other orthopedic's did not really get to the root of the problem. Dr. Agrawal did! He has excellent diagnostic skill and provided several options for treatment.
Verified patient
This doctor is amazing. One of the top 10 Shoulder Surgeons in the US. Very thorough and honest with his patients. I would highly recommend Dr Agrawal!
Verified patient
From the moment I stepped into the office, I was treated exceptionally nice. My greeting at the front desk was a surprise for me. I'm used to getting frowned on and treated like just another appointment. I received smiles, compassion and humor, that made me feel right from the start, everything will be just fine. The Doctor was equally as surprise, warm and personable, knowledgeable and know guessing around. He knew exactly what was going on ,and for the first time in 8 month running to doctors, I had a diagnosis. I'm just at the beginning of my journey, but I'm confident now that I will heal.
Verified patient
Dr. Agrawal and nurse Cheryl are consummate professionals. They provide excellent medical care and really care about their patients.
We felt like they had known us for some time. They were very inviting and easy to talk to. Dr. Agrawal and his nurse make a trip to the doctor something to look forward to! We look forward to seeing them soon!
Verified patient
I think Dr. Agrawal takes a "holistic" view of the patient. He told me different things to consider about my shoulder pain, so I will be undergoing different tests besides X-rays & the typical rotator cuff assessments. I left his office feeling confused & frustrated as to what to do next. However, what he suggested seems worth checking into before I go for a total shoulder replacement. I thank the doctor for wanting to get to the core of the pain.
Verified patient
Dr. Agrawal is very experienced in his field and is not one to jump to surgery if it is not warranted. Dr. Agrawal and his staff are attentive and friendly.

Verified patient
Dr. Agrawal is fantastic! What seemed to be a straightforward problem is proving to be otherwise, but he is working hard on my behalf to pinpoint the problem and find a viable solution!! Also, his office staff is absolutely top-notch!!!
Verified patient
Dr. Agrawal was very personable and thorough. Isn't anchored on surgery to fix the problem but finding out what is causing problem. My shoulder issues were found to be caused by an impengement in my neck that was found by Dr. Agrawal.
