I believe the doctor was unnecessarily slow to find and provide my recent diagnosis, giving inadequate explanations and reasons why the delay.

My appointments were rescheduled 3 times by the office, then my wait time was over an hour and appointments were done in the wrong order so pace results weren't available for the doctor. Billing was also a mess. Very disappointed in the front office/scheduling.

Very impressed with the time and effort that was taken by Dr. Kilkarni with us to explain my issue, the proposed options for my issue, and the sharing of clinical studies done to reinforce his suggestions for treatment. He was very willing to answer any questions and simplified his explanations to make them understandable.
