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.

He fired me because I was t seen in office in 2 yr
I went to him for probably 25-30 years. I thought he cared about me but instead he terminated me as a patient because his staff told me I had not been to the physical office in 2 years. I think it was because when I called to see if I could get an inhaler prescription I was told I wasn’t a patient. What? They had boxed up all my years of records and moved them “ upstairs” is what I was told. They ended up copying them all and having me go by office to pick them up. I was refused treatment from that day forward. I was really let down by Sunil. I really don’t understand why he did that but I’m still looking for a pcp. This man is not honorable. He refused to speak to me on the phone about it. I asked if someone else could take me in as a patient but was refused that even. Never ever failed any test. Never ever did anything but not go to the dr for several years to only be “fired”.

Highly likely
He listened to everything I said. He explained my conditions well. I went there as I had had a headache for 6 days in a row. He advised me to read as much as I could about headaches. Since his prescriptions he wrote for me, my headaches have lessened considerably. Probably the best thing about Dr. John was his care about me. He wanted to make sure he helped me. He even found an old collarbone injury that I had completely forgotten about. In all retrospect, I’m thrilled that he’s my provided.

When I first met Dr. John he entered my room wearing the Biggest Smile of which he still does today & it was right then that I knew he was Likable.It wasn’t long before Trust & Respect soon followed. I’ve been his patient now for many years & throughout those years I have learned what a great listener, diagnostician & communicator he is. He possesses the knowledge, expertise, & skills needed that helped me through many ailments. I like to be part of my care so he always patiently lets me engage him in a question & answer session. Like I said earlier I’ve been a patient of Dr. Johns for years, about 25, & through those years I've learned that not only is he an Outstanding & Achieved Physician, but he’s also a man of Integrity, Honor, & Character loving GOD & Family! So ,YES, I would recommend him highly!!

He is my doctor and my husband's doctor. We cannot say enough good things about him. He is a great diagnostician, he listens and thinks about what we say to him. He is compassionate and willing to try new things to help alleviate our physical problems. He is cheerful and seems to enjoy what he does.

Dr. John is probably the most caring doctor I have been to. What I like is his approach to medicine, he doesn't immediately prescribe a pill for your ailment, he encourages you to take charge of your body first before medicine is prescribed. It's up to you then to follow his instructions or not. I like a doctor who inspires you to take charge, then if you aren't able to , medicine will follow. I am a believer that the less medicine you take the better off you are and I think he feels the same .

Phone calls are always sent to an answering machine. No one calls back. Like most they just want the money. After that who cares.

Update: We finally did get an appointment, only to be told upon check in that the office will not take our insurance. The office knew what insurance we had at the time we made the appointment. We have Bluecross Blueshield network E, which is essential services. I guess if you are wealthy and have whatever kind of Bluecross Blueshield Dr. John would prefer to be paid by, he might be worth seeing. If you aren't and don't, look for a doctor who doesn't choise his patients by income bracket.
