"I went to Dr. Vivek for a second opinion. She was very thorough and explained my pathology results in detail, making me feel confident in her opinion on what my treatment should be. She ordered a bunch of blood tests and reached out to her colleagues to consult while I was in the office. She is both kind and understanding. I will be switching providers and will continue to see her as my oncologist."

"This is my first visit for this. I think the care will be good. I waited for over an hour past my appointment time before I was ushered into an examination room. Dr. Vivek is pleasant and approachable, and I felt comfortable during our interaction. Only drawback was that it seemed she thought I was there for a follow up to a condition that I was seen for over a year ago. The time with her felt rushed but I was able to share with her why I was sent to see her. For me, I can and will only pray for the best."
