    Dr. Agarwal is a very intelligent and empathetic surgeon. He has some of the best bedside manners I've known. He knows how to talk to his patients to make them feel comfortable and he takes time to listen and answer questions with confidence. Thank you Doctor Agarwal for being my reconstruction surgeon since 2013.

    On this visit, I did not see Dr. Agarwal, but saw Dr. Osborne his associate instead. She was amazing! She did reassure me, though that Dr. Agarwal would be doing the surgical procedure.

    I feel I'm in good hands

    HUNTSMAN CANCER CENTER

    was a cancer patient in 2013 & had such a positive experience with everyone at Huntsman. I was dreading my return because I knew the emotions I would have returning. As soon as I saw Dr. Agarwal I was calm and relaxed, remembering how sincere and caring he was. It was so great to see him again, that I had to give him a hug. Although he has had hundreds of patients come through his doors, I knew that he had remembered who I was, with his bedside manners and thoughtful smile. He made me feel at home and my worries started to subside. The other staff members who helped me were so kind at as well and made me feel like their family with how caring and gentle manners they had. I would like to thank everyone for all the support and making me feel content in my decision to have my breast implant removed and new surgery to create a more comfortable and healthier breast. I sit hear in tears because my heart is full of emotions from 2013 and the blessings that have come my way since. Thank you al
