Dr. Jha is the best Doctor that I've had. He has excellent bedside manner, he is thorough, runs necessary tests, accurate diagnoses, calls with lab results, etc. I have no complaints. He has been my husband, my 2 boys, and my doctor for many years.

we are greatfull to Dr Jha to take time to have my grandpa bring pill boxes and personaly go over each one of them.Insurance did not ok aggrenox(I am hoping I spelled it right)like a blood thinner so plavis was prescribed which is another blood thinner,then insurance oked the first one so now he was takeing both blood thinners.Dr Jha is caught this and I know two blood thinners together could make him bleed in brain and that would be bad.I know many people die from medication errors in our country and although some people do not like to take their pill boxes to doctors I would ask everybody to do that especilly if they see more then one doctor.

If you have no insurance or medicaid you have to fill out an intake form to see whether or not you are good enough for him to see. I found this highly offensive and refused to fill it out
