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 experience
Dr. Godwhani was unprepared- did not review any of the medical records I took a lot of time gathering and sending in advance. Seemed sleepy, disinterested and defensive. Told me to “look it up” when I asked him about certain medicines because he didnt have the time to explain all of the side effects! He was dismissive, rushed me out saying I don’t mean to rush you but… I have been dealing with pain and progressing symptoms for several years and didnt give me the courtesy of listening with concern and genuine care?? Instead refusing to review my reports and dismissing my symptoms. Didn’t feel all of my symptoms were due to underlying inflammation (even with an existing Sjogrens diagnosis.) He didn’t even pronounce Sjogrens properly. Incorrectly referring to it as shrogens. Pathetic and inexcusable. Refused to write script for a biologic and sent me away with no treatment. The very next day received results of skin biopsy showing chronic inflammation. Very poor experience!

Great physician and staff! I’m so happy I finally found the right rheumatologist. It’s been a long road for me. The staff is very welcoming and kind. Jennifer was very caring and helpful with my needs.. I wish I knew the other girls names.. they were amazing.. Dr. Godhwani was attentive and sumpathetic to my health issues.. I wasn’t rushed and he spent time addressing my findings and treatment. The office is very clean and relaxing.. i felt like I walked into a spa.. I highly recommend this office to anyone struggling with rheumatological issues.

Rheumatoid Arthritis
I am so grateful for Dr Godhwani. I have never felt better, and I hardly have any flair ups. I have been on so many different medications even infusions nothing worked. There were days that I couldn’t even walk I was in so much pain. Dr Godhwani put me on Actemera and I have never felt better. I hardly have any flair ups. Dr Godhwani is very knowledgeable and caring. I don’t feel rushed during the appointments. He sits and listens to any concerns I may have and answers any questions I have. Highly recommend Dr Godhwani. I have been to both offices. They are both clean and the staff is friendly. No complaints.

I’ve been with this practice and Dr. G for over a year. I never feel rushed and I tend to ask a lot of questions. Their checkin/check out process is stellar. The medical staff is professional and friendly. It’s as if I would almost invite everyone to my house for dinner…they make me feel like a part of their family.

Dr Godhwani is fantastic!!
Dr Godhwani actually listens to what you are saying and comes up with a plan and lets his patients help make decisions on their care. Another great thing is if you send him a note through patient portal he responds da quickly!! All his office staff are helpful as well.

They were able to correctly diagnose and treat me after going untreated for more than 2 decades. No other Dr. listened or understood exactly what an autoimmune disease does. I highly recommend this practice.

I Believe I saw one of his PA’s Kyle. My visit was for help with fibromyalgia which I’ve had for over 30 years. No exam except blood pressure and offered me the 3 meds that are basically used for this condition. I had already tried All of them and More. He couldn’t think “outside the box” and seemed quite uninformed about fibromyalgia. The price was exorbitant, after my Medicare portion, and they were Very Agressive about payment. In NO Way was their high fee for a 10 minute Useless First Time Visit Justified!
