"Absolutely disgusted by the behaviour of this office. I'm not sure where they get off trying to call a patient and tell them they are unhappy with a perfectly calm and acceptable message on their MyChart message board... The administrators are terrible."
— Patient review (Dec 2024)"I was very pleased with Dr. Velankar. She was very professional & knowledgeable. Dr. Velankar was excellent with her bedside manner. I would definitely rate her with 5 stars."
