Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Horrible Inaccurate Advice
When i indicated a concern with recent weight gain, specifically belly fat, associated with aging and menopause and remarked that I had begun to run regularly to work to regain my health and lose the weight, she told me not to run but instead to do sit ups and core exercise to target the weight loss. This is counter to every last bit of science which demonstrates there is no such thing as spot reduction exercise.

I've always believed the person who answers the phone sets the tone for the office. I had an extremely positive experience with Paula. Despite the phones constantly ringing off the hook, she managed to be incredibly friendly, polite and helpful. Kudos to her for being such a rockstar! Also, Dr. Mendhiratta is a very attentive and caring physician for my mom - and I'm grateful for her dedication. A respected physician with a stellar front office team equates to a winning practice.

Dr. Mendhiratta is a very good and caring doctor. She is knowledgeable/sincere/focused in her work and in her patients’ care. I am always given the time to ask my questions and don’t feel pressed to leave. The staff is also very friendly and helpful. Well, I have been seeing Dr. Mendhiratta for a long time and can say that she is the best doctor I’ve ever had. Dr. M was introduced to me many years ago by a relative, and I surely have no hesitation to give her my highest recommendation.

You will point blank regret your life if you go to see this doctor. Very impatient, rude and dismissive. Very judge mental and doesn't care. She will interrupt you and doesn't want you to speak or voice your concern. Try her out if you really have the time, but don't dare if you don't. You will regret your choice. I called about my medication the first time, she doesn't want to hear what I have to say, plain out told me she's going out of town, and hurry me off the phone. The other time was duri
