Dr. Varma is excellent. He is relatable and listens to me as a person, something not all doctors do. He is ALWAYS on time and takes his time with me; I never feel rushed. His office staff is equally fantastic.

Dr Varma is a wonderful Doctor with a GREAT bed side manner and sense of humor, he is quick to calm ones nerves. Sadly, I have not been able to see him as of late due to loss of insurance, but as soon as I get it back, he will be the first to get a call for an appointment. He spends a lot of time with his patients and has a genuine concern for his patients and does everything in his power to make this horrible disease something one can live with.

Title says it all. He is just a great Doctor who really cares about his patients and takes the time to let them know that. When you are there you never feel rushed, you actually feel like your his only patient for the day. The wait time in my experience has never been horrible either, so the staff seem to schedule the extra he likes to take with his patients. If you are in search of a rheumatologist, I highly recommend Dr. Varma, you will not regret it.
