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.

Great general practice doctor.
Terrific doctor. Listens to my wife and me very well on every visit and cares a lot about solving or at least alleviating patients problems. She is knowledgeable, diagnoses problems well and has good, helpful ways to treat the sickness or injury.

Did not diagnose my illness. Made me spend money on all these tests. Called her office back several times about my abnormal blood test results. She did jot get back to me about them. You are better off with a proactive doctor who resolves your issues. She is also always late for her appointments and ignores your calls if she does not know how to proceed.

Excellent - one of the best MDs in Marin. We are all very fortunate to be associated with her. It is not easy to find an MD any longer, who takes Medicare. I feel blessed to be in her care.

I can’t get to set her whenever I call. I am looking for a new doctor. I like her a lot and have been going to her for 15 years.

Dr Lohtia has been the primary care physician for me and my husband for the past 6 years since we arrived in Marin County. We agree she is the best physician we have ever had and goes beyond what is expected of her. Nothing is too much trouble for her to listen to and advise on. Shortly after we registered with her I was bitten by a dog on a weekend and she took time out from her family to talk to me over the phone and make recommendations for the wound care. She recently was a 'trouble-shooter' when my health insurance company switched me to another doctor without my knowledge. Together we navigated the red-tape, and I thankfully I remain in her care. I highly recommend this professional and knowledgeable lady.

Dr. Lohtia has been my doctor for ten years. She is so caring and takes time with her patients she will never rush you out the door as many other Dr’s do! so there will be times when you have to wait but it’s well worth it! She will always go the extra mile for her patients.

Very thorough. I see her for my Annual physical. I get my blood work done before my appt so we can discuss my results. She is very no nonsense - just get done what needs to be done. She knows the other specialists I see and concurs that they are the best fit for me.

I would not recommend Dr. Lohtia to my friends or family. If you can't give quality care to the patients you have, stop taking on new patients! If you actually get in to see her she never calls you back with the test results you're waiting for. Do you think because she's so busy she'll just upload the results to the portal for you? NOPE! You have to call and call and finally a few weeks later she will upload it, but forget about a call.
