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.

Top Medical Oncologist and Hematologist
Dr Rini Palanthingal is superb Hematologist and Medical Oncologist! It's very rare to find a physician with the experience and knowledge coupled with the caring, kindness and background that Dr Rini provides. She specializes in bleeding disorders, colorectal cancer, gastromalabsortion, anemia, cancer, and myleoplastic syndromes. She is so patient and put me at ease at such a frightening time. Her thorough exam and treatment plan were remarkable. I'd there is any chance you have a blood cancer or gastrointestinal malabsorption including anemia or cancer Dr Rini will find and treat it. She's incredibly patient and kind. Thank you Dr Palanthingal and Englewood Hospital.

Go elsewhere
Not great, she generally only cares about her patients if you are in her office. She will not push you into seeing why your hemoglobin is low & offers bandaids to get the patient through till the next visit. She starts at 12 noon & never calls you back if you need to reach the office, the assistants are good & they just relay the messages.

She is the best so sweet, kind, and excellent in many ways. She really cares a lot about her patients and answered many questions I've had. She takes her time and gives so much of herself. She is just excellent and I would rate her at 100%.
