Dr. Agarwal is a top notch physician/surgeon. I write that because he listens and responds thoughtfully to my concerns during office visits and his surgical care has been tremendous. I can't thank Dr. Agarwal and his team enough for the exceptional care provided to me over the past fourteen months. I have felt very well cared for. Many thanks!

I thought Dr Agerwall was very professional and obviously very intelligent. But I ended up choosing a surgeon who showed more warmth in our consolation. I didn't feel like I could trust Dr. Agerwall.

The resident met with us for most of the appointment as Dr. Agarwal was delayed over an hour. The resident was great very informative and positive. Dr. Agarwal made me feel like an inconvenience. I know that I did not receive the news that I wanted, but I still felt bad like he had been sent a bad referral. I still feel bad for wasting his time.

I am so impressed with Dr. Agarwal's great work on my surgery and my flap. I had so many people rave about how great my flap always looked... From many other health professionals to family and friends! He seemed to do very careful and conscious work of which I am so grateful!!... For something that will affect my body and life to such a degree, I really appreciate his careful care.

The doctor was great. I met him years ago and even told my sister in law about him. He will be doing her DIEP in January. The resident made me feel so awkward and having 3 people standing there looking at my body it was uncomfortable and I left without even talking about all of my reconstructive concerns. The lady that does his scheduleing was very pleasant. I just wish I could have talked with the Dr. without such an audience.

Dr. Agarwal is amazing. He is honest and gives it to you straight but has he is kind and listens to all my concerns. When choosing a plastic surgeon for my reconstruction I did a lot of research. Dr. A. has exceeded my expectations. I'm truly grateful. When you get to this point in your cancer treatment your mind seems to catch up with your entire experience. In many ways this part has been the most difficult and having this team has made the whole process much easier and has helped with the healing process. Your body is healing but so is your mind and the way you see yourself in your body... When your doctor sees YOU as an individual it makes a difference.
