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.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Varma?
After screwing up a surgery on my fiance so that she had to spend a week in the ICU on a ventilator Dr Varma refused to answer questions. He then sent her home without after care instructions and lied about her 2 week check-up to hospital Patient Advocate staff. This man does not deserve to have a medical license any longer.
