“great doctor, took the time to listen & explain”
I had to get MOHS surgery on my scalp, and she was extremely patient with all my questions and explained everything she was going to do. I've had some bad experiences with dermatologists, but Dr Agarwal was amazing enough that I recommended her to a friend! I'm lucky I found her. I drive over 30 min to see her, but she is that good that it's worth it!
