Terrible doctor and staff. This office is just a money grab. They tell you everything will be covered under insurance when it is not and you then have to pull teeth and nail with insurance to get charges dropped.

I have been going to Dr. Manoj since she opened her practice. To say that I love this doctor is a understatement. She has been the most incredible, caring doctor to myself and my family. I absolutely adore her receptionist Ellen. They truly feel like family. I have moved and travel 45 min to remain a patient.

Horrible experience with such a inconsiderate doctor. I thought I'd give her a chance to see if she could help with some depression/anxiety issues I've been having. She couldn't stop cutting me off and making faces at me while i was speaking. I have 3 times but she didn't correct herself so I got up and left. NO bedside manners!!!

She is relatively easy to get an appointment with, her office staff is fabulous, and is pretty reasonable with treatment options. HOWEVER, she is overly concerned with weight loss, and is willing to bill insurance at a very high rate for "weight loss management". Simply put, she pushed a patient with anorexia to stop eating and take an amphetamine to lose more than 10% of their body weight in a few weeks.

Prescribe unnecessary medicines. Not fluent in Hindi. Wait time was too long & found out that Dr was running late from her facial appointment.

All about money, and wanted me to make appointment again just after regular checkup for discussing the report, and charge that as another office visit, which could cost me another 80 dollars, but they wouldn't agree and wanted me to make another appointment just for money..

She's the best doctor I've ever been to -- and I've been to a lot. She spent the time to get to know my problems and recommended more than just meds. She put me on a healthy diet and and exercise regime and I've never felt better.
