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.

Excellent care!! A gem in Sarasota.
I just wanted to take a moment to drop a review on this Surgeon and his Staff. What started out to be a very awkward and nerve-racking appointment to make turned into one of the best medical experiences I have ever had. A very knowledgeable, kind, personable Doctor who takes the time to listen and cares. From the moment I walked into the office till the time I left I felt cared for and heard, which is rare! The entire team was AWESOME!! Thank you!!!

I have had many Drs and specialists over my life since i have moved many, many times being a Marine Corps vet and have been stationed all over the country and overseas. I recently was diagnosed with a preanal carcinoma a few years ago and the VA sent me to Dr Agarwal to handle, check and biopsy my condition. On my first consult, i initially met his scheduler/receptionist Jessica. She was so friendly and helpful. What a great 1st impression. I then met Holly, Dr Agarwal's nurse. Again, she was very friendly, courteous, helpful, friendly and made me feel completely at ease. After a very short time, i met Dr Agarwal. He was amazing. Prior to discussing my condition and what the surgery/procedure would entail, we just talked about anything like we were friends for years. He has performed 2 surgical procedures on me and let me tell you, he goes over and beyond and more extensive then what was scheduled. His surgical staff for pre and post op were amazing and very caring. Bottom line, Dr Agarwal, his office staff and nurse Jessica and Holly are absolutely amazing. They make you feel like family, never rush you, answer all questions and phone calls (or call you back immediately), and always make you feel that you are their #1 priority. I highly recommend them for any Colorectal issues. I will never look for another Dr/Surgeon and Staff. I literally feel like they are family! And more importantly they know me personally and not as just another patient.
