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.

You will be seen by her trainee
After a half hour wait, you spend another hour waiting in the exam room, and answering questions from a resident about your health. Dr. "Gita" arrives and repeats, like a bad game of telephone, the trainee resident's misunderstood version of your answers to the questions you previously answered. Then you are dealt the standard protocol diagnosis and treatment. Nothing special. I wish one could speed up the process, by seeing the doc directly. It would also help if the order in which you are seen reflect arrival and appointment time.
What went well
  • Explained conditions well
  • Staff friendliness
  • Appointment wasn't rushed
What could be improved
  • Office environment
  • Difficult to schedule appointment
  • Didn't listen or answer questions
  • Didn't trust the provider's decisions

Unhappy patient – Jul 28, 2022

The past three appointments have been rescheduled without notifying me. I would show up a few minutes before the appointment and then be informed I was an hour early. The first two times I wrote it off as a fluke and it must be my mistake, but this third time! On top of that, it is next to impossible to schedule at your convenience. After your visit, they just tell you to leave and they mail you an appointment (and lab work) without any input from you. Good luck trying to speak with someone to change the appointment or find a lab that does the test they ordered! Once you are in the office (and even telehealth visits!), prepare to be waiting in a room for 45 min to an hour and see a new resident every time. There is no continuity. Lastly, but most importantly, I never felt heard about my symptoms. If they feel your single lab test (god forbid they actually order a full thyroid panel) is sufficient it appears they ignore whatever symptoms/ailments you express.

Dr. G. is an excellent doctor, but I’ve been seeing her for 7 years and each time I’ve waited over an hour. If the office was run where there were no ridiculous wait times, she would get 5 stars.
