This was my first visit with the new provider. He was professional and knowledgeable. It takes time to learn mannerisms of a dr style. I will know next time not to ask any questions until the end of the appointment. There were times I wish I could have interrupted to let him know I didn't understand what I was looking at when shown my test results, he sounded irritated I interrupted. I now know to wait. At the end of my appointment he recommended a test I knew nothing about , that gave me great confidence in his knowledge and peace in his process. I'm convinced that I will be giving him a 10 in my next review

I have been fortunate enough to have had Dr. Atwal for my Cancer Care and treatments for just over 2 years now. I just can't say enough wonderful things about him, his professionalism, friendliness, competence, and the quality of care I have had while under his dedicated care. Before my treatments started, I had considerable hesitation to undertake the medical infusion treatments because of possible "side effects". Dr. Atwal guided me through the decision-making process. It was his warmth, thoroughness, and sincere concern for me that convinced me to proceed. Now 2 years later, I had virtually no unpleasantness, and my PSA tests now reveal that the treatments were a success. I couldn't be more grateful to him. I will continue to see Dr. Atwal for follow-up visits and I am fully confident that he will monitor my health and do his very best to keep me well in the upcoming years. What a blessing Dr. Atwal has been and will continue to be! [redacted]
