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. Tyagi open and direct consultation
She was excellent at understanding and listening to my issues and addressed each one with precision and expertise...She suggested additional testing to verify the severity of my issues without jumping automatically into surgery...I feel totally comfortable with her diagnosis and will be moving forward with additional tests and surgery...

Dr. Tyagi Is one of the greatest doctors I have encountered in my 36 years. I can surely say if it wasn't for her I Would-be in a world of trouble. She made me feel calm and relaxed even going into 12 hour back surgery that could have caused paralysis. I could never thank her enough and would recommend her to anyone having any back issues .

Terrible experience trying to ascertain if CD of CT scan from another hospital was reviewed and if appointment was still required. Getting through to nurse's line took 4 attempts. CD was not found and I was blamed for sending it to wrong address (not true.) I had sent it by overnight mail and tracked it's delivery. They would have required yet another CT. I judge that office to be inefficient and inept.
