If you go here for your healthcare and are taken care of by the nurse practitioner or by Dr. Sawlani know that you will be well taken care of by them personally. However, once you see them that's where the good care stops with the exception of the staff who takes your blood work. I have to give this office a 1 star (too many) for the office staff in the front. I will never understand why there are people who are truly miserable working jobs that require experience, education, manners and respect. The people who answer the phones will place you on hold and literally never get back to you and if

He is by far the best doctor I've ever dealt with. I've been his patient for wanna say 30 years give or take and I have no complaints he is by far the greatest Doctor I've ever had. His staff is well trained courteous they get back to you right away when you have questions. He saved my life twice, And that's saying something

Great doctor!! I have been treated by many doctors, went through many PCP's and DR Sawlani is by far the most caring one! He understands that stress and his patients situation at home has a big impact on health. He always askes me how is everything at home, work and if someone has an ailment in my household ha asks how he can help. My wife is also his patient and we agree that Dr Sawlani is very professional, caring, and puts his patients needs first. His staff is also very professional and nice. I have not had a bad visit at his office yet. Every one is always friendly. I highly recommend him
