    Dr. Sarwal is an attentive and deliberate physician. She addressed all of my concerns and difficulties. and provided clear imstructions going forward. I recommend her without reservation. Having a referral to such a specialist is not easy for many to face. It carries a degree of trepidation and anxiety, but Dr. Sarwal is both caring and insightful.
