I left feeling Impressed,Hopeful and Cared for.. I'm Extremely Happy
Dr. Khandelwal is the best of the best. He has been my provider for almost [...] years and his care, expertise, bedside manner and treatment exceeds the standard of excellence. I am beyond grateful for the way he has journeyed with me and fought for me.
Dr Khandelwal was wonderful. He explained the pros and cons of potential surgery and was extremely professional, but also warm-hearted, sincere, and honest in his explanations of potential risks and side effects. My husband and I were both incredibly impressed and appreciative of his personable demeanor and honesty. Even after I decided to wait on the surgery, he was so supportive of my decision and even said, "I can tell you are relieved." I have never had such feedback from other docs before (meaning that he perceived how I felt emotionally and acknowledge this). We are truly grateful for him. If I decide to have fundoplication surgery in the future, I would be very pleased to have him as my surgeon.
Dr. Khandelwal is an incredible doctor. He has provided me with superior care for 5 years. He listens. His approach is holistic and he genuinely cares about my well being.
