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.

Review for Doctor Varma
Doctor Varma is our pediatrician for our 4 year old daughter since her first appointment after she was born. We are lucky to be reunited with her in California now that we both live here. I could not recommend her enough. She never rushes our appointments and gives us all the time we need to ask questions. This was especially important as first time parents. I trust her advice and recommendations but she's always open to hearing our opinions as well. She's made our daughter feel comfortable in all of our appointments. She's the best!

Best Pediatrician
Dr. Varma has been our pediatrician for 8 years and is the doctor for all three of my kids. To say I trust her implicitly would be an understatement. Not once, have I ever felt unsafe with her care and recommendations. She always made herself available for any question and never made me feel insecure to come to her with any minor concern. As a new mom, she really helped ease anxieties, even as a mom of three. As a mom, I naturally want the absolute best for my kids and I truly have had the best doctor provide for my children. I feel very lucky to have her care for my kids the way she does and to trust her the way we do. I cannot begin to recommend her enough.

Best pediatrician in JC!
Dr. Varma has been both my son and daughter’s pediatrician, and I am so grateful for her medical skills, knowledge and compassionate care. She is an excellent physician with a wonderful bedside manner.

Dr Varma has been my children's doctor since they were newborn. I have always found her to be patient, thorough, a good listener, thoughtful in her approach, kind, with an excellent bedside manner toward children - both of my children are perfectly happy at their appointments with her. Dr Varma is reliable, takes time with her patients and I like her approach; she won't always reach for medicine immediately, she thinks somewhat holistically too. We have moved areas, but still travel to see Dr Varma as I trust her judgement and medical practice. I'd highly recommend her as a pediatrician.

Did not like her or this practice. She was rude and cancelled the sick visit because she said I was late. We were not.

Dr Varma has been my son's pediatrician since he was born. She is thoughtful, kind, compassionate, yet practical and no nonsense. She's always taken the time to listen to concerns and has infinite patience with my son who does not do well with dr appts. She helped our family work through some medical decisions that were not straightforward. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Dr. Varma has been our pediatrician since my first son was born in 2015. She is extremely kind and patient and an excellent medical doctor. She takes her name in answering all my questions when I was a first time mom and never rushes you out of the room. I trust all her advice and will continue having her see my kids. Love Dr Varma.

I have been a patient of Dr Verma since my baby daughters birth. I can not recommend her more highly. She’s approachable, kind and extremely dedicated. It’s obvious that neonatal care and breastfeeding are areas that she’s passionate about and I attribute our family’s breast feeding and sleep training successes with my daughter entirely to her. She always takes the time to answer my (often inane) questions in a detailed way. As a parent herself, she offers sensible parenting advice. Love her!

Several of my friends take their kids to Dr. Varma and I finally switched to her two years back based on their reviews. I am glad I did as Dr. Varma is very attentive and never makes us feel rushed. She is thorough in examining and patient in answering our questions. A couple of times we had some medical situations with kids while traveling abroad and she was always very prompt in getting back with relevant input on addressing the situation. We are glad to have her in this area.

Very good experience with Dr. Varma for my two kids. She saw them both from birth and was my preferred provider at the office that we go to. She was always thorough, listened well and was great with my kids.

Excellent doctor, takes time to listen and answer questions. Very balanced when prescribing medication - not overly aggressive with antibiotics, at the same time not too conservative. Dr Verma has been seeing my daughter since her 2 day wellness visit. Highly recommend her...

If you're looking for a smart, personable and involved pediatrician for your child, I would recommend Dr. Varma in a heartbeat. I am deeply impressed by her clinical skills and the time she takes to address all questions despite her tight schedule. My 2 kids and I adore her!
