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.

Extremely professional
Everything about the visit and procedure was excellent. The staff was really great and the procedure ( bi-lateral L-1 nerve block) was done quickly and with very little discomfort. Dr. Gajjar clearly explained the procedure beforehand and during and has a good “bedside manner”. I highly recommend him.

Callous, doesn't listen
I had been a patient for nearly five years, my back had deteriorated to the point of spontaneous vertebral fractures. I went because I could no longer stand up for more than 5 minutes without excruciating pain. His advice to me was to go back to physical therapy. Really?? I found another doctor and had nerve oblation within 3 weeks. No pain, no meds.

Dr, Gajjar was engaging, funny, and informative. He made me comfortable at all times and explained everything thoroughly. Moreover, he took the time to make sure that I truly understood what he was saying. I would be happy to receive care from him again any day and would recommend him to my closest family and friends without reservation.

Dr. Gijjar and his staff are the very personifications of EXCELLENCE and PROFESSIONALISM. They are all very professional, efficient, and PATIENT, who exhibit consummate professionalism, unflagging "can-do" attitudes, and patience with often obnoxious people To those people who exploit the unfettered freedom of the internet to give one-star ratings and seek to diminish or destroy the fine and well-deserved reputations of Doctors and Medical support Teams such as Dr, Gijjars', I say: be an adult, stop whining and snivelling about administrative or issues pertaining to the contract you signed with Dr Gijjar when he decided to take you on as a patient, which is a selective process, Dr. Gijjar is dealing with HIGHLY ADDICTIVE drugs and is trusting, but verifying, that you are keeping up your end of the contract for your own health. MANY PEOPLE are seeking a Dr to supply their established drug habit, and Dr Gijjar will have no part of this. Be grateful he took you on as a patient.

I saw Dr. Gajjar when he was a physician with Sentara. I have chronic pain due to rheumatoid arthritis. During each appt., he would increase or give me a stronger pain med until I was so over medicated I couldn't function with even small tasks. Yes, his staff counted my meds at each visit, but that was stated in the agreement you sign during your first appt., so that didn't bother me. I had 2 epidurals in my neck, of which both were very painful and caused more problems, including migraines

Dr. Gajjar is a good doctor however it’s sad that as a patient I have to sit and wait 30 to 40 min to see a Nurse practitioner and then spend 5 to 8 min with the doc.. wait over 6 weeks for a follow up after having a back surgery procedure done and after having my husband drive me over 45min up I-64 because of an unfortunate incident that was out of our control I arrived 2-3min late and Dr. Gajjar refused to see me!! Really 2/3min late and you will not see me after driving up to Williamsburg??

This doctor is very arrogant and unrespecfull. He try the patients like they were drug addict counting the medication that you have left. you feel intimidate and very bad because doctor and patient have to have a trust relation and he does not give you that trust. I will not recommend him to anyone.

I was referred to Dr. Gahhar, after my first failed spinal fusion, Dr. Gahhar was compassionate, caring Knowledgeable and explain what he thought my treatment plan would start with. We tried it and it worked but needed some changing, Dr, Gahhar made some changes, I have been a patient since 2012 and I am ver pleased. My pain has never been completely gone but 3-7 days it's manageable. Dr. Gahhar, also never made me like it was in my mind and it was not as bad as a said. He listened and cares

Dr Gajjar gave me back my life as I knew it 10 years ago. I was unable to walk any distance without conciderable pain. He gave me an epidural and almost immediately I was without pain. He is my angel. I would highly recommend him.
