    He listened and was kind. However, I'm not confident in his thoroughness in looking at all possible causes for my dizziness. He didn't check my medical history unless he did it prior to entering room nor did he examine me-just asked questions then referred me to PT.

    Dr. Kalwani is an amazing provider. He listened with empathy to my concerns, even non health-related issues, and made helpful suggestions/treatment options. I never felt rushed which could be because I was the last appointment of the day but still, in a time when providers are pressured to see more and more patients, it was a bright spot to be allowed the time I needed. Thank you Dr. Kalwani!
