Very professional and friendly and caring. Takes the time to answer all of your questions.
Diligently explained my results and
Excellent doctor and staff. The nurse that was with Dr. Dharel was very kind and made me feel cared for. Dr Dharel explained my problem and concern clearly.
Doctor was in and out in under 30 seconds. Went over test results but I never saw them. Had concerns which were blown off and had questions which were left not answered.
Finally a wonderful doctor that actually listened to my concerns. Would highly recommend Dr. Dharel!!
Such a wonderful doctor! He listens to concerns and is so very respectful. Highly recommend!
Dr Dharel will give you all the time you need to explain your problem. He doesn't make you take unnecessary tests and he explain things in very easy to understand terms. I wish all doctors were as good as Dr Dharel.
Informative and interesting
Very Good
Great Dr
Amazing experience
Great office environment!
Dr. Dharel was very professional and friendly. He answered all my questions and recommended the necessary lab test and other tests. Very satisfied with his caring approach.
I only have a problem with the nurse who took my blood pressure. I asked her to redo it and she gave me deaf hears. Thanks
I was very happy with my visit I’m very satisfied with my doctor
Efficient and pleasant experience
Dr. Dharel was very thorough and explained the results of the procedure.
From Dr. Dharel to staff everything about having an Endoscopy was explained throughly. Nurses at the surgery center as well as all staff were very thoughtful and good at easing my anxiety. Would recommend this practice and my doctor to others.
Cares deeply for his patients and very thorough in delivering patient care.
Very good
Dr. Dharal is always so caring and explains everything he is doing .
I am very impressed by your practice and Dr. Dharel. Sometimes people just push us old people aside like we don’t count anymore but you all went out of your way to make me feel like you cared and still do I would highly recommend you to anyone that has a problem physically. I will take a moment to say thank you so much for everything you’ve done so far, I wish me luck to get through all this I’m not one person that gets sick very often, but it’s awfully nice to know that people still care and take care of you when you need them. I was recommended to Dr. Dharel from another person and said he was outstanding and I definitely is the truth so far. I know this is a long little statement but I’m just telling you how I feel. Your staff out front that takes care of all the people and paperwork and whatever and the people in the back to take care of it before we get to see the doctor are outstanding. Sincerely, Ella Kern.
Professional, caring, answered my questions.
Excellent
Dr..Dharel has been good with keeping my Liver enzymes under control.
Efficient. Great Experience. Staff were very professional.
Quick and painless, nice group of people as well.
Grateful there is a plan moving forward. Feel confident with Dr. Dharel. Staff was sweet and the office seemed peaceful.
Was able to get a next day appointment.Staff was very friendly.
Overall Awesome---consistent with all visits. Doctors and other key HCPs are kind and expeditious--most conducive for busy schedules---while serious concerns were appropriately addressed with recommendations. Nurses are of the best. The "Unsung Heroes" though are the reception team. They literally deal with all personalities and concerns regardless to the intensity with professionalism, daily---for little to no apprecuation. This staff was no appreciation. Each visit here I've witnessed their skillful navigation of multiple personalities without negativity or impatience shown to those of us who follow "apples"---truly exceptional and aligned across the crew. Thank You. - LS
