Dr. Varathan is incredible. Not only is he highly knowledgeable, but he also has a wonderful bedside manner. They took the time to listen to all of my concerns, never made me feel rushed, and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. It’s rare to find a doctor that combines such high-level expertise with genuine compassion. The clinic staff was also wonderful. Highly recommend!

Seem me quickly and sent me to the appropriate specialist. Then took time to follow up with myself and specialist and triangulate the care plan. Much appreciated given my age and complexity

Made my weight loss journey seamless. Considered my other complex mefical conditions and helped me reduce my regular medications. When other docs keep adding medication to a never ending list, Dr LV actually reduces medication. Feel like in 40 again (im 75,)
