Dr. Navarkal is a compassionate medical professional. He's thorough and takes the time to treat every patient in a unique case by case manner. In today's world of assembly line medicine it's nice to have a doctor that makes the patient feel as though they matter! I would, and have recommended Dr. Navarkal to friends and family. If you're in need of pain management I urge you to give this physician a call, you couldn't find a better doctor.

Not sure where all the 5 star reviews are coming from except he must not personally like me. He is dismissive of my pain, forgot about me one day on a telehealth, I believe he does injections or so other docs claim, but refuses to do any on me. Hates change in medication in case a prior auth might be needed, won’t go above a certain level unless it’s methadone, but no where are there limits in his contract. Complains too much documentation is required with higher doses or feds would be after him. So I’ve had over 20 surgeries and recent diagnosis of tether cord and cerebral spinal leak to explain some of my pain and see multiple docs and he tells me I need a multidisciplinary team. I’ve sought out any extra care, he’s never given a referral even though he doesn’t want to up my meds to an adequate level because it takes to much documentation. He wants to hit click for renew script, not discuss anything and collect an insurance check. Even tho he claims insurance companies are after him too to lower meds. I’ve never had that issue. Perhaps the insurance company wants real examines. I can only say one thing good, despite our contentious relationship he still prescribes just enough to get me by. However, he wouldn’t even prescribe my meds after a nerve surgery. I’ve always had pain management handle my surgery meds and he felt acute meds after surgery was out of his realm. He lacks compassion, lacks knowledge of health law or just plain ignores it and lacks much medical knowledge about pain, but he thinks my daughter is cute.
