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 worked with Dr. Dhawan for 3 years. He has a wonderful beside manner and is very knowledgable about medicine, surgery and what he does. He always explains everything thoroughly and let’s the patient truly be apart of their treatment plan. Dr. Dhawan always did my carpal tunnel surgery in 2019, and did a phenomenal job. My incision is barely noticeable and my hand has been back to normal ever since. I highly recommend Dr. Dhawan any type of plastic surgery, injections or carpal tunnel surgeries. He’s a wonderful doctor and was a wonderful coworker as well.

I wouldn’t even give him a star, but no stars is not an option. Worst Doctor I have ever seen and had surgery by. I had 5 surgeries at once on my right hand and arm. I have been in so much pain and discomfort since I had the surgery had to double my pain medication, was told to call if there were any issues he refused to get on the phone and finally told his nurse he thinks I should take Ibuprofen. Took ibuprofen called next day and his answer was go to your emergency room???? Did so they stated
