"Dr. Jain is awesome. He recommends what’s necessary and avoids moving forward without reviewing your records and previous exams. He has great manners and professionalism and is just a great doctor to visit. The only issue had is with the office staff. I was advised I was not required to pay a copay for a virtual visit with Dr.Jain and that it was 100% covered (this was when I attempted to pay prior to our visit). I received a bill in the mail for the same virtual visit that I had previously attempted to pay although I was told by the office not to pay. I have called office and left a message and not heard back from office manager. So that is still confusing but I would not skip on visiting Dr. Jain over it."
