    Comments: I was referred by my primary care physician to a hand specialist at SCOS after dealing with a painful pinched nerve for over eight weeks, and my experience with Dr. Malhotra exceeded every expectation. From the very first consultation, Dr. Malhotra was thorough, compassionate, and exceptionally reassuring. He took the time to clearly explain my condition, discuss potential causes, and walk me through the available options for next steps, immediately putting me at ease.

    Following the consultation, everything moved forward seamlessly. I was scheduled for an MRI within a week, and the MRI technician was excellent—professional, kind, and efficient. I was also scheduled for a nerve conduction test, and the technician conducting that exam clearly explained each step beforehand. True to his explanation, the test was completed with minimal discomfort, which I greatly appreciated.

    What stood out most was Dr. Malhotra’s attentiveness and follow-through. He personally called me within a day to review the results of both tests in detail. Based on the findings, he thoughtfully recommended that I consult with a spinal surgeon to ensure the best path toward a full recovery. For the first time in weeks, I feel confident and optimistic that I am moving forward with a clear plan.

    I am truly grateful for the level of care, communication, and professionalism provided by Dr. Malhotra and the entire SCOS team. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking expert, patient-centered care.
