Review for Dr. Varma
His communication skills are severely lacking. He asked nonspecific questions and I had to repeat myself numerous times. He got me confused with another patient twice and was completely indecisive about the care plan and tests.

Review for Dr. Evangelidis
Awful. Does not take time with older patients who have continual problems. Reschedules appointments when patient is having concerns.

Review for Dr. McGowan
Dr Evangelidis is awesome and show concern for me as a patient. He has treated me for urinary issues and did a emergency removal of a 8 mm kidney stone last year. Follow up for removal of stint was uneventfully and quick. Would recommend Dr Evangelidis for your urinary issues.

This doctor tried to give me directions about taking my medication over the phone when I called with a problem. After he finished giving the instructions, he asked, 'You are the lady from New York, right?' I was not! I lost all faith that he knew what he was talking about when he didn't even know...
