"Dr. Arora was patient and kind. The surgery went perfectly (polyp removal) and she followed up answering any questions I had. Had a first positive test after three years following the surgery!"

"I wasn't crazy about her, she was convincing me to get a hysterectomy, and my GYN said she should have not suggested that to me. Every procedure that I was suggesting that was non-surgery she was going against it"

"Dr. Arora takes the time to go through procedures and follow ups and I couldn't be more grateful. With my more complicated case, she took the time to make sure that I am equipped to continue monitoring even after her care."

"Dr. Arora is excellent. She performed my myomectomy last year. I healed perfectly and was finally able to conceive. I couldn't be happier. She was very attentive during my appointments, listened to my concerns, never rushed me. I would definitely recommend her to anyone considering myomectomy."

"Dr. Arora is knowledgeable, compassionate, and an incredibly skilled surgeon. She performed a robotic laparoscopic myomectomy on me for numerous fibroids. I am a couple weeks post surgery and my recovery has been easier than I thought, and my scars are tiny. I feel so lucky to have her as my surgeon, and the entire team there has been wonderful to work with. "

"I am so thankful for Dr. Arora. I am 10 days post op and I feel wonderful. I arrived at her office seeking a second opinion for a large uterine abcess and uterine defect from a botched c section that I was left with from another Dr. I was in so much pain daily that I hadn't slept on my right side in 6 months and it became something that I lived with and became accustomed to. I am so grateful for her empathy and compassion. From my first appointment I knew I was in good hands and finally felt that there was a light at the end of the tunnel. She took her time to explain everything to me and sent me for appropriate imaging and made a plan for surgery that I was involved in. She spent 3 appointments with me on the plan. I had a very complicated case and I am confident it only went smoothly because of Dr. Arora. I can not thank her enough. I'm leaving this review as three months ago I was at a low point in my life struggling with a pelvic abcess and uterus with essentially a hole in the front ...
of it and worried I would not see my children grow up. I searched and read many reviews so I hope this will help another in search of the best. "

Data Transparency and Trust: Understanding WebMD Doctor Listings and Reviews

We know that finding the right doctor or provider is important to your health. That’s why we want to ensure you have confidence in the provider profiles and listings you see on WebMD Care. Our provider data is sourced from the physicians themselves as well as publicly available databases. Any doctor or provider who claims their profile by verifying themselves can update their information and provide additional data on their specialties, education, accepted insurances, conditions they treat, and procedures they perform.

All the physician and provider reviews on WebMD Care are provided by users just like you. Knowing these reviews provide insight into how other patients feel about a doctor, we maintain internal policies and protocols to ensure the quality and accuracy of all reviews. Providers are not able to remove or modify reviews on their own. Reviews can only be removed after an internal review by our customer service team.

We value your input and encourage you to reach out to our support team if you encounter any issues.
