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.

Dr. Varughese is an excellent doctor! The office staff is HORRIFIC; this includes the office manager! They are VERY unprofessional & rude when a problem arises! Double check the information in your chart because it's probably wrong. Also, check your billing statement to ensure you aren't being billed wrong/overcharged! This has happened to me repeatedly! I love my doctor, but I won't tolerate being treated like a nobody by staff. Time to find another doctor with PROFESSIONAL office staff!

Dr. Varughese has seen me for several medical conditions, and has referred me to several specialists. She is a good communicator, has a good personality, and has been the best primary care physician I've had in 8 years. She has a very good nurse who you can call directly and speak to or leave a message, in addition to the front desk where they schedule you. I do recommend that you use healthgrades dot com to evaluate the specialists you are sent to so as to avoid bad experiences.

Having been without a primary care physician for some time, Dr. Varughese was recommended to me by another physician. My experience with Dr. Varughese and her staff has been wonderful. In only a few visits, she quickly identified my health care needs and provided a plan of care to meet them that has made such a difference in all aspects of my care. Dr. Varughese and her staff are exceptional, compassionate, and I highly recommend her practice without any reservations.
