I have been a patient here for many years. Previous with Dr. Bikkasani who was wonderful. This was my first experience here with Dr. Patel who was equally wonderful. The anesthesiologist, nurses and staff are very experienced, professional and caring. Do not hesitate you’ll be in good hands.

The staff and Dr Shinde are very kind and make you feel comfortable. The front desk person is a little "snippy" but all in all the experience was very positive.
