  • "I highly recommend Dr Varma & the Toms River office. From the moment I entered the facility I was greeted by a very friendly, smiling & welcoming receptionist. Then in the waiting room after a very short time (didn’t even have time to check my email lol) I was taken into the exam room by a friendly & professional medical staff member. After another short wait I was greeted by a smiling, friendly & very professional Dr Varma. She spent time reviewing my condition and medical records I provided. She showed, what I felt, was true concern and recommended a follow-up plan. My next experience was with the office lab. The technician that drew my blood was exceptionally good at what she does. Hardly felt the needle, with no bruising afterwards… not the norm for me."

  • "I really thought that the doctor would take his blood to make sure infection is spreading through his body, I asked her too. She said no need. I was just concerned because his incision of 10 inches was infected for six weeks now. Although she is a very thorough doctor and the one that found all of his issues I am very thankful for her.
