There is always a communication gap between me and doc Naroji.she is not very good in explaining things.she is polite and nice but i feel she is not very up-to-date and aware about the steps patients needs to take before delivery (for ex:hospital tour,registration in hospital etc.).She never give me any information on this stuff.I am having my first baby so i have lots of questions and want all of them answered but never get a satisfied answer from Dr.naroji.So if u are looking for someone who discuse your conserns in dept,and explain ur results u should think before selecting Dr.Naroji as ur first choice.

DR. NAROJI IS A VERY GOOD DR. SHE IS VERY AWARE OF MY SITUATION AND CHECKS UP ON ME EVERY VISIT. SHE IS VERY FAST PACED DUE TO SHE IS THE ONLY DR. IN THE OFFICE. BUT IT IS UNDERSTANDABLE. IF YOU WANT TO BE TREATED LIKE A BABY THE WHOLE STEP OF THE WAY THROUGH YOUR PREGNANCY & TALKED TO FOR HOURS AT A TIME AT YOUR VISIT THEN FIND A MIDWIFE. SHE IS A DR AND DOES HER JOB WELL. I HAVE BEEN A PATIENT OF HERS FOR 9 YRS AND NEVER HAV I HEARD SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT HER.

She is not experienced in handling high risk cases and treats all cases as normal. She does not spend time to address concerns and her staff is rude and unprofessional. We lost two preganancies because of her un-proactiveness,negligence,unwilling to be aggressive in handling the problems. I had cerclage @ 13 wks w/complete bedrest. She never did ultrasound to check the cervix during monthly visits. When went to imaging ctr for Ultrasound @ 22.5 wks they found that cervix has already dialated and it was too late, we lost the baby. @ 20 wks I started having discharge w/green stains. When reported she treated it as normal infection and after culture test she advised us not to be worried. When insisted that discharge has green stains, she and her staff got upset and asked us to find different OB/GYN. She even advised us not to be worried for everything during pregnancy. It turns out that discharge w/green was sign of cervix prob. Her attitude and wrong diagnosis in our case is unforgivable

From our experience, Naroji tends to treat all cases as normal cases without paying extra attention to exception cases. Our baby wasn't growing for months and all the while we were told that our baby was sleeping during checkups. My kid came out premature (she almost went into distress) and I strongly believe the doctor could have done better for us to avoid this situation.

She does not have any partners and if you are visiting her in Inova Fair Oaks, She prefers to deliver the baby either Tuesday or Friday. Also, She prefers C-Section for smallest reason possible. You have to be lucky to deliver baby normally with her.It could be because she can reduce unscheduled visits to Inova hospital during non-business hours and weekends. You all can guess another obvious reason. Only reason we choose her as our doctor is because she is Indian and would know better about Indian diet. If you are choosing her for same reason, please find another indian doctor ( my friends told me that few other american doctors are also very good with Indian diet issues and solutions)

I went to her because I know lot of my close friends who went to her. I stopped going to her midway in the pregnancy. 1. She does not communicate properly with the patients 2. She is forgetful and does not remember what happened few minutes ago and she does not look at the reports properly. If you ask her any thing then she goes back to the reports. Does she give you the correct answer? NO. 3. Suggested a wrong medicine and told that it is perfectly normal to take the medicine which is a preterm labor medicine and when there were no signs of preterm labor. I asked her specifically if it was ok and she said it was normal. when I researched I was told that doctors would usually do a monitoring and then suggest the medicine. 4. She is very impatient. Cannot answer a single question properly. Would get up if you ask more than 5 questions. 5. Staff is very rude. One of the worst. 6. Doctors office is unhygienic. 7. Not punctual. I would rate her "THE WORST".

Doctor and Nurse are good,friendly. Dr quite knowledged but conservative. Receptionist unfortunately very rude and non friendly. She thinks the only way to please and be in goodbooks to her boss(Dr) is by being rude to the patients?!! too bad.
