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. Talwar has been my primary physician for several years now. I just went to him for hip pain today. He is a great physician. I always feel like his diagnosis are trustworthy. Today was no different. I would definitely recommend him.

Had a hard time finding office. Get to desk 5 minutes late and get sorry, you'll have to reschedule. Took all I could do not to start yelling in the office. I was the doctors call. I work with doctors. Will not be back to this office.

A phenomenal GP...just phenomenal. I am hard to please when it comes to doctors. I tend to do a great deal of my own 'research' and expect a very collaborative approach. Dr. Talwar is excellent at listening, discussing options and allowing you to be a partner in the selection of your treatment. He is also very thorough and will go the extra mile to make sure that both you and he are staying on top of appropriate screening and prevention. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone.

Easy to get an appointment, however ran three tests to confirm a strep throat infections which lead to an expensive diagnosis compaired to when I have had it before. I also had a 2 pm appt., and the nurse didn't call in my prescription until after 7 pm even though I had been calling in every 20 min since 5 pm when I got to the pharmacy to pick it up. Office staff was unprofessional and unconcerned with it taking so long.
