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. Saaraswat is the most caring and intuitive provider I have ever been seen by. He suspected I had a very rare heart tumor several months before I was able to see him because of Covid. He had ordered a particular test for this condition but I was admitted to the hospital with a stroke before we could get it done. He was absolutely correct. He listens and is very compassionate in his treatment of patients. I especially like the way he pays attention to details. He is so concerned for his patients, that he called me once on a Saturday night to discuss test results. He has also called me out of the blue to follow up on a neuro-psych report that he had just received. I don’t believe I have ever had a doctor who has shown such intelligence and thoroughness in all he does. He’s one of my favorite providers ever, and I’ve seen a lot in these past two years! I would most certainly recommend him to anyone experiencing neurological issues!

This gentleman is my daughter’s physician. If you want someone who genuinely cares about your health maintenance, this is the doctor’s office to visit. He is amazing. He monitors the condition using scientific data. He’s straight up honest, thorough, careful, extremely intelligent and literally leaves no stone unturned. I’m so happy and so grateful that we found him.

I am grateful that Dr. Saaraswat is my doctor, and I can't thank him enough for always taking care of me. I owe him so much.

When my OB sent me to see a neurologist she prefaced with, “Now I know a lot of them can be real d****s but if you get one you don’t like find another because you have to do this.” I went in expecting to be bothering him and trying to rush through my issue, and he said so very nicely, “Please, slow down, let’s start at the very beginning. When was the first time you had a migraine?” My jaw almost hit the floor. He was so patient and kind and helpful, did a very thorough exam, ordered appropriate tests. I was happy to see him and felt that he did a great job treating my issues. I definitely recommend him to family members who have had horrible visits with their neurologists. I also appreciated that the receptionist made sure I knew how to pronounce his last name before I went in, it was very thoughtful so that I could be respectful.

I experienced a very good interaction with Dr Sarraswat via face time. He reviewed numerous previous testing both within the pres system and outside. He listened and asked relevant questions understanding all related history. He took the time to explain what causes were likely and not likely and ordered reasonable further tests and a referral.

Went to Dr. Saaraswat as a follow up to an MRI and previous visit w/a neurosurgeon. He was pleasant, answered my questions and explained what to expect. He was very calm and reassuring.

Didn't listen to my description of the history of the issue I was there to see him about. Recommended a tricyclic antidepressant almost immediately. Communication issues.
