Dr. Agarwal does an excellent job of explaining complicated medical concerns in easy to understand language. He always inquires about preventative care/screening (e.g. mammogram, colonoscopy, etc.) even though he is not my primary care provider, which is a rare quality among speciality care providers. Dr. Agarwal thoughtful, shows genuine concern about his patients, and not only is familiar with the most recent medical literature but participates as a study physician in medication research trials.
