In patients' words
"Every three months Bernie Medina takes a day off of work and drives an hour from Salinas to San Jose to see her oncologist... Medina lives in Monterey County but her health insurance forbids her from using any of the local hospitals."
— The Press Democrat / CalMatters"Possibly one of the worst medical providers I’ve come across. She showed a lack of judgment and also either negligent or doesn’t seem to care enough."
— Healthgrades (Patient review of Dr. Geetha Varma)"He was excellent. He never cuts my visit short, answers questions, thorough explanations, tells you like it is, always honest, helpful and I look forward to my 6-month follow-up exams."
