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.

I was not sure what to expect as I have never had a cervical spine nerve block done. Dr. Agarwal was very professional and very efficient. He explained everything well and did an excellent job. It was not painful at all and took only a few minutes. I drove 4 hours for the appointment with him and it was well worth it to me.

I’ve been a nurse in the Pittsburgh area for over 28 years. He is the only MD who will do cervical nerve/facet block’s at either AHN or UPMC. He’s improved my quality of life 10 fold!

Dr. Agarwal and staff are amazing! Don’t go anywhere else if you need a neuroradiology procedure for pain. I had a nerve block injection for a compressed nerve in back. He and Derrick explained everything and procedure went so smoothly and was not painful at all. Wish I had found them and their staff at Presby sooner! Thank you Dr. Agarwal and staff. Nice to be without pain finally!

Dr. Agarwal had a wonderful bedside manner throughout the entire epidural procedure. He had a calming presence that helped sooth my anxiety from the time he introduced himself; and I had A LOT of anxiety. His skills and expertise were also evident, and he had an adaptative communication style. My mom was formerly an IR RN so while I understood some jargon, when anything he said was unclear he quickly and patiently re-explained another way.
