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.

I have been seeing him for well over a year now. He has always been pleasant and attentive to my medical treatment and need's. He is quite knowledgeable and has a very effective extended care Team working with him.

Our entire family goes to Dr. Kulkarni. He is helpful, listens and responsive. He has never been cold, rude or condescending. He has helped each of us get more medical attention that we needed. Sometimes wait, but he spends time with us answering and dealing with all aspects of the medical situation before going to the next patient. We are never rushed out by him.

My wife and I accompany her 90+ year old dad to all of his doctor appointments. Over the past year or so, we have seen Dr Kulkarni many times, possibly a dozen. On each visit, from the first up to and including last week, the Dr has been very patient, kind, attentive, and thorough while listening to every detail of everything we say. The doctor brings up topics that were discussed from previous visits that were a part of the personal topics visiting, showing me the dr takes a personal interest.

When I saw Dr. Kulkarni, for the first time, he was cold, rude & condescending. He never asked how I was, or went over my history with me. He made assumptions about me & my condition, with virtually no background. I felt, bullied & belittled. He said I was being aggressive, I never raised my voice, I was only advocating for myself & my health. In 40 years, I've NEVER left a doc office in tears & feeling humiliated. I'm grateful, I'll never have to see him again.
