Dr. Naranjan was very thorough, and kind, and put time into assessing and treating my condition.

I saw Dr. Naranjan for the first time last week and I thought she was kind, informative, and proactive in assessing and treating my chronic condition. I intend to continue treatment at this facility. Staff was very friendly also.

She is an excellent physician who truly cares about her patients. She goes the extra mile to care for her patients and tajes the time to coordinate my care with my other physicians.

Dr. Niranjan is a very cold and nasty person, as is her front desk lady. I was shocked by the way I was treated and the way I saw other patients being talked to. Can't believe she is taking care of cancer patients. Questions are not answered and you will not understand your condition. Told to just get out of the office-go away!

This Dr is cold, in the same breath that she told my husband he had 6 months to live, she told him to stop asking her questions and that she was doing him a favor by squeezing him in her schedule and she had to leave because another Dr needed the office. I voice memo the whole thing, not sure what to do with it but everyone who hears it is appalled with the cold, uncaring way in which she treated my husband.

I felt Dr. Naranjan was very inconsiderate, unknowledgable, and impatient with me. She asked me what I wanted to do for my condition, instead of instructing me on what to do. You go to a doctor to get advice, right? She had no knowledge on my condition and didn't even offer to research more about it on her own time. She is by far the worst hematologist I have seen in the 12 years I've been battling my condition. Although the office staff is very nice, I would highly discourage you from seeing this doctor.

Will never go back after she kept me waiting for 45 minutes, and then, barely spent 5 minutes with me. She kept asking if I had insurance too.

This is a very professional Doctor that is directly responsible for me working my way back to health after a bout with non-hodkins lymphoma...Total remission and living a full life!
