Patient Reviews

  • "I would like to share a wonderful experience I had meeting Dr. Varma for the first time during my first appointment. What a difference a Dr. can make by simply being compassionate. She made me feel welcome, wanted and that my life matters even though I am facing stage 4 lung cancer. She listened to everything I needed so desperately to say about a past experience with a different Dr. and practice that left me feeling discarded and unwanted. With Dr. Varma…I WAS HEARD. Acknowledged and Accepted. Because of her, my faith in Oncology has been restored and I slept well last night for the first time in a long time. I look forward to my next appointment and am grateful for her and this amazing practice."
