I went there for good reviews but I havent seen a doctors office this unprofessional in my life. Doctor himself is ok but wait is min 30mins every time. Last time, nurse couldnt take blood after an extremely painful tries and there is no alternative and they said, they are doing me a courtesy. Not going back.

For almost 10 years ( 17 years by now) Dr. Varu took the time to explore our health issues, needs and to follow up. He always explained the risks, alternatives and the options available. Most likely the best family doctor you could find.

I was a satisfied patient at this business. I say business because the staff is more concerned with collecting a no show fee, before the doctor would honor a FaceTime appointment to refill a much needed medication. In December of last year , I was unwell with a fever and needed to cancel. I did my due diligence by calling well within the timeframe for cancelling The answering service refused to take that message and when I called the day of said appointment , the office was closedFor their 2 hour lunch break. I realize that the good doctor is merely an employee and puppet of the insurance company , and I guess he needed the no show fee more than me , the patient. It is a sobering fact that medical practices are nothing more than businesses for profitI guess the Hippocratic oath and do no harm philosophy is surely a thing of the past. Signed Former patient

I don't recommend this office if you're healthy and just looking to establish care for routine exams because you'll be stuck with a medical bill for nothing. I booked an appointment last month asking for a physical as a new patient and was not told until after my appointment was over that they never book "new patient physicals" only office visits, which is not covered as routine care by most insurance plans. When I called the billing company I found out the doctor had billed for issues we never discussed during the appointment/were of concern, such as having asthma 20 years ago and having acne( my mask was covering my face and the only acne I have, how did the doctor see this if I never took off my mask or mentioned it?). I came for a physical and instead got loaded with a medical bill of $200+ for issues we never discussed. I'm a healthcare provider myself and I know you can bill for "new patient physicals" so your healthy patients don't get charged unnecessarily but this office instead chooses to bill healthy patients because they can't get their extra money otherwise, which is borderline medical fraud. A lot of their patients are on medicaid/medical so they are likely trying to strip money left and right where they can, which is incredibly unethical. I'm no longer returning to this office for my care.
