    How was your appointment with Dr. Gavankar?

    Aug 28, 2019
    I would highly recommend Dr. Gavankar. From the friendly entry greeting and spacious comfortable lobby, my first visit to Dr. Guvankar's office was welcoming. The wait was very short. Dr. Gavankar went through my blood work, history & symptoms and gave me an informed diagnosis. She is one of the most caring doctors I've ever met. She took her time and her kind manner put me at ease.
