"My appointment was at the new office on Richmond Av. It's a beautiful, spacious place with lots of parking. It's also pretty easy to get to via public transportation. I only waited a short time before I was called in for bloodwork and my appointment shortly afterwards. I saw her asst again, but Everyone was nice, professional. Although I started seeing Dr. Vivek because of a serious illness, she and her staff make visiting the doctor much easier."

"Dr. V has been caring for my mother for eight years now, and I cannot express enough how truly exceptional she is. Through three different cancer diagnoses, Dr. V has not only kept my mother alive but has given her quality of life that we never thought would be possible.
What sets Dr. V apart is her genuine compassion and dedication to her patients. She goes above and beyond in every aspect of care, always staying in touch, checking on my mother’s progress, and ensuring she has everything she needs to continue to fight this battle. It’s rare to find a physician who treats patients with such personal attention and care.
Due to her treatments we have to go twice a week to the office for my mother’s treatment. The entire staff reflects Dr. V’s commitment to excellence. Every visit feels like we’re visiting family rather than going to a medical appointment. The warmth and professionalism of everyone in the office creates an atmosphere of hope and comfort during what can be incredibly difficult times.
Dr. V’s expertise, combined with her extraordinary bedside manner, has made all the difference in our family’s journey. She doesn’t just treat the disease she cares for the whole person. We are forever grateful for her dedication and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone seeking exceptional oncological care.
Thank you, Dr. V, for everything you’ve done for our family. You are truly a blessing."
