I appreciate Dr. Agarwal's expertise
I have been so impressed by Dr. Agarwal & his care over the past year. After my husband told me my "purring kitten" snoring had increased to "lion roaring," I knew I had to get checked for sleep apnea. Meanwhile, my husband contracted Covid-19, was in the hospital 13 days & on home oxygen for 3 months afterwards. Though running a very busy practice, Dr. Agarwal was able to fit my husband in as a new patient. Much of the testing we required was able to be performed at the office-a great convenience. Another aspect I appreciate about Dr. Agarwal is that he takes the time to explain when questions or concerns arise. He takes into account my odd work/sleep schedule. I am grateful for the care and compassion Dr. Agawal has shown my husband & me.

Caring, Personable and Knowledgeable Doctor
In the general my visits with Dr. Agarwal were very personable and comfortable which I like very much. First, the staff were very nice, very patient, and very helpful. They gave me clear instructions and explained to me carefully what I need to do before the visit, like reminders, and told me how things are because I am a new patient. I needed to schedule an x-ray and all the tests, and they helped me through it all. Waiting in the office was not too bad, I waited about 10 minutes. When I saw the doctor, he took the time to understand my background and health history. He considered all the aspects of my health that may complicate the presenting concern. The doctor seemed very knowledgeable and caring. He took time to explain my condition and my treatment options with possible side effects. He is the best pulmonologist I have ever met. Even after I moved out of the county, I continued to see Dr. Agarwal by Zoom because I did want to try to find a different doctor as good as him.

I've been a patient of Dr. Agarwal for years. He has always been incredibly transparent with me about my health conditions and concerns. He takes time to explain test results and answer any questions that I have. I've never felt rushed in his office, if anything the opposite. I credit him with improving my sleep-quality 10-fold. Highly recommend.

1st appointment (1 hr late) 2nd appointment by Zoom (no show) 3rd appointment by Phone (no show again) Billed for 1 appointment, 2 tests, totaling 3 charges with 0 follow-up The doctor left a voicemail "apologizing" for his no shows while blaming that his patients often ask a lot of questions and he just can't get them to "SHUT UP". There's a reason his schedule seems so available compared to other pulmonologists/sleep doctors. Would it be possible that the doctor jam packs his schedule and treats patients as dollar signs? He left me feeling like a transaction, not a patient.

On a Sunday, his assistant Ravi called to setup an appointment for next day and I told him that I wouldn’t be able to bring my dad myself since it is in a short notice and my dad doesn't speak english so I would send a friend for translating. I told Ravi that we don't have his medical records and they should requested from his primary doctor and he said okay and he also said that he would contact my dad’s primary doctor early morning to get the medical records. Now I find out that when my dad was in Sanjay Agarwal’s office, he humiliated and disrespected my dad for not having his medical records and for not speaking English. He consistently stop him from talking and kept shaking his head for not being able to communicate with him and not having his medical records. Even though my dad had a translator (my cousin) with him but Mr Agarwal made her feel stupid and uncomfortable as well. Mr Agarwal, if my dad could speak English, he would teach you how to speak and behave yourself.

Meeting Dr Agarwal was a blessing. i visited him to check on my sleep apnea, pulmonology tests and get guidance on a few other health problems i faced. He goes the extra mile to build rapport, have an engaging conversation, share reference materials that would help in gaining more knowledge about my sickness, show diagrams or videos to further explain the diagnosis and does a thorough job. I am very pleased with his service and with the way i was treated being a new patient with him. His staff is well mannered, patient and most importantly treats everyone with respect. A special call out for Hayley (nurse at the reception). She is amazing, very professional and honestly an asset to the clinic. For all new patients, dont think twice and make Dr Agarwal your primary doctor.

I am a patient of both Dr. Lal and Dr. Agarwal and rate them very high not only for their clinical treatment but overall experience in the office. Both are excellent doctors. Excellent and efficient staff. Very comfortable sleep study rooms and warm technicians. I rate them highly. I went to them with a referral from my primary care physician and wish I had consulted them years ago rather than going to Kaiser. I am very happy with the treatment/attention I am receiving.
