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.

Professional and friendly
I had my first visit with Dr Pande today . Everything went well and I left her office feeling like I understood my condition better. And that we have a plan to hopefully start feeling better. She’s very clear in her explanation, obviously very knowledgeable in her field . I’m happy I was referred to her! Feeling optimistic!

Helpful and informed
The office was timely. I was able to fill out paperwork in advance. Dr. Pande saw me quickly. She was very kind- asked LOTS of questions, asked for my opinions on things, explained concepts I didn't understand, and reviewed referral notes from my other doctors. She didn't have a desire to medicate without a clear problem. She was quick to follow up with me after my appointment.

RN, MSN, for 34 yrs. I have NEVER seen any Dr. (self referred) for possible takeover care,(thyroid hormone medication Rx), where the Dr. DID’NT listen to anything I had to say, or even my explanation why I had even requested visit…,she kept interrupting me , she talked entire time, I was unable to explain anything , she had answers for my history in matter of minutes seeing me, and said all my diagnosis HBP, GI, ^ cholesterol. Were a result of my thyroid treatment,All of which just diagnosed 4 yrs ago but have had thyroid issues for 35yrs… she said would continue same medicine ,increase dosage, recheck labs few months, if improving would stay on current medication if not, would try different medicine at that time…I get to pharmacy she CHANGED my medication which she said would NOT do,. When asked about it, she said just take the medicine”. Etc when I read her visit note,obvious didn’t listen,NO mention re: med./plan discussed, stated she took 90m with ME, NO, Iwaited 90m, NOtrust!

great doc. but…..
have adrenal insufficiency, caring doctor but w time restraints has u leaving with “do what?” doesn’t make hosp. visit, even when emergency room calls here. So you are on your own! Dangerous when emergency physicians don’t know anything about adrenal problems. Had two cysts in kidneys & two in thyroid glands. Which went undiagnosed under her care.

Dr. Pande is an excellent doctor. She's been my doctor for more than 10 years. She listens to me and offers good advice. She's helped me with other medical issues too. I feel like I can ask her questions and she will answer and if needed, explain it to me. She's always nice and I actually enjoy my appt's with her. She and I ususally end up laughing about something by the end.

She was a horrible excuse for a doctor. She treated me as if I did not matter. She flat told me I did not have a condition in which I later found I did have! I suffered many years due to her mistreatment

Words cannot describe how horrible this woman treated my boyfriend and I in her office. My boyfriend went to his appointment to discuss some things before having thyroid surgery. Instead of providing answers. She actually said to him to stop lying about having questions and just admit that he is scared. She would not listen to any of his concerns. She spoke to us very rudely and callously. When we asked her why she was talking to us so rudely, she replied something to the effect of, "that's jus

I've seen Dr Pande for about 10 years and never had a bad experience. It's a 50 minute drive that I'm happy to take instead of seeing an endocrinologist 10 minutes away. Thank you Dr Pande and Lindsey Powell.

Outstanding bed side manner, I finally feel like someone heard my concerns, reviewed ALL the test result then made a correct medical diagnosises. I finally feel that I have a fighting chance. She and her nurse are great at keeping in touch not a million steps to jump through to contact them. I'd call her to double check any other treatments that sound half decided. I've not felt this good and in control in years, even neighbors have noticed the difference since she took over my treatment plan.
