This was my first visit with Dr. Natarajan and she was outstanding! Kind, empathetic, good listener and had read my file.

LOVED LIVED Dr. Natarajan!! Such a calm demeanor, reassuring nature, very effective active listening, clearly a hematology expert with ability to break down issues into explainable/lay understandable factors. Appeared to truly care & I felt I wasn't just another number! I ended up telling her more than I ever have with another medical professional as she made me so comfortable! Have never had such a wondrous "bedside manner" ever before!!

Dr. Neela Natarajan is caring and competent. She listened to what was important to me and provided me with the risks and benefits of immunotherapy. I really appreciate that she put in the extra effort to locate my Caris report and called me personally with the results of my PDL1. Dr. Natarajan treated me with care and concern. I am very grateful to have her as my doctor.
