"Possibly one of the worst medical providers I’ve come across. She also either negligent or doesn’t seem to care enough. My father was a patient of hers and we ended up transferring him out to a different doctor because of how unsatisfied we were with her."
— Healthgrades Review (Dr. Geetha Varma)"He did my ovarian cancer surgery. He was excellent. He never made my visit short, answers questions, thorough explanations, tells it like it is, always honest, helpful and I look forward to my 6-month follow-up exams."
