"From day 1. Dr. anand has made me feel comfortable. I have been under her care for over 2 years want each visit she listens to my many complaints and treated me based on how I was feeling. Most doctors don't listen to their patients. They think because they are doctors they know how u should be feeling at what stage. Dr Anand takes the time to listen and run test to help me feel at ease and I greatly appreciate(d) that personal touch. Thank you doctor for having treating me like a person and not just a patient."
- Vitals user review"I would never go to this doctor again. She does not have a good bedside manner and barely listened to me as a patient. She also has a thick accent and I had difficulty understanding her."
