Dr. Pooja Agarwal Reviews
Patient Experience
After three surgeons told me my tumor was inoperable due to location near the heart, Dr. Agarwal developed an innovative approach using intraoperative ultrasound guidance. Her surgical precision gave me a chance when others saw none,18 months cancer-free now.
My husband accompanied me to a pre-op appointment and mentioned casually that he'd noticed a skin change. Dr. Agarwal immediately examined him and found early melanoma,she potentially saved two lives in one consultation with her remarkable attentiveness.
As a medical student observing surgeries, I specifically requested to watch Dr. Agarwal operate. Her technique is masterful,every movement purposeful, every decision evidence-based. She took time afterward to explain her approach, mentoring the next generation of surgeons.
Living with BRCA mutation, I chose prophylactic mastectomy. Dr. Agarwal created a personalized risk-reduction plan that respected my childbearing plans and cultural concerns about scarring. Her holistic approach considers life beyond cancer prevention.
When post-surgical complications arose during holiday season, Dr. Agarwal canceled her family vacation to monitor my recovery personally. She visited daily, even on Christmas morning, demonstrating commitment I've never seen in any medical professional.
My mother with dementia couldn't understand her diagnosis, but Dr. Agarwal adapted her communication using visual aids and simple repetition. She treated my mother's confusion with infinite patience and dignity, making the hardest time slightly easier.
As a transgender patient, I feared discrimination when needing breast surgery. Dr. Agarwal not only provided respectful care but educated her staff about using correct pronouns and understanding my unique healthcare needs without making me feel like a teaching case.
Following a failed surgery elsewhere, I came to Dr. Agarwal for revision. She fixed another surgeon's mistakes while never speaking negatively about her colleague,showing professional integrity that matches her technical excellence.
