"Dr. Vipin Mittal is the head doctor of his department .He is one of a kind. He really listened and cared. He was kind. Dr. Mittal was worth the long wait to get an appointment. ... Simply said: he saved my life."
— Neva King, Google Review via Birdeye"This is the worst department at Presbyterian I am aware of. They don't return phone calls. They schedule appointments 4-5 months out to begin with. Then they cancel a week before and then tell you the next available with any provider is in another 5 months."
— Anonymous User Review, 4doctors.net"I have called 5 times and left messages with the assurance that the nurse will call back, but she will NOT return my calls."
