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.

Excellent medical doctor
I had previously went to an orthopedic clinic for lower back pain. They took x-rays and told me that I have arthritis. I then had an MRI of my lower back just yesterday. I made an appointment to see Dr. Sahai at 1100AM. She was right on time. She listened and reviewed my records along with the MRI. She made a diagnosis, referred me for physical therapy, and she gave me a pain management steroid injection. She was very thorough and very pleasant to me. I would recommend her.

There is no one better!
I have seen Dr Sahai 3 times for 3 treatments over the last 15 years. Each treatment has worked beyond my expectations! I’m so grateful for her good care and treatment!

Went in for twice for external hemerrhoids and got two completely different answers. First female doctor said it was a fissure and didn’t have hemorrhoids. Prescribed me some bs all natural topical treatment that did not work at all. Came in for next visit and Sahai said they were hemorrhoids, but said that wasn’t the reason for my discomfort? Seriously? It’s so obvious that it is. Told me to stop drinking caffeine and prescribed yet another topical treatment that does not work. Just know that he’s going to tell you to drink Metamucil and not to eat cheese, bread, drink wine, or caffeine...basically that it’s your fault you have hemorrhoids when in reality they should just be removed. Terrible eastern medicine doctor.

The doctor herself shows little, if any, compassion. It is as if someone has forced her to work and she really does not want to be there. HEr bad attitude transfers to the workers there. Her office staff is HORRIBLE. The medical assistant gave me a roll of the eyes when we asked where the bathroom was. They treated my elderly mom (who has never been on pain meds) like she was a drug addict. The lab lady gave my mom a cup to pee in. When I asked her for a toilet hat (because my mom is too old and her hand shakes too much to hold a cup and urinate in it), the lady gave us an attitude. She then wrote my mom's name incorrectly on the cup and got upset when I corrected her. I can write more but will stop her by advising you to look for another doctor.

This is the only Dr. Sahai I could choose, but Dr. Sahai the surgeon is my doctor. He is an exceptional doctor that gave me excellent care and I have already given his card to a friend that need surgery on his hernia.

She. Judged me as a drug addict after hearing my medications that I had been on for 2 years. Cut one of my pain pills the first day she saw me completely off and the next visit she cut the other dosage off as well I haven't slept in the last week because I have been out off my meds and in chronic pain. Worst doctor I hAve ever seen and I see a lot of doctors for pain, heart conditions, and gi conditions

I have never felt more disrespected by a doctor. She did not listen to a word I said. I have a chronic pain disease and that had no affect on her decisions. I asked for pain management and got one pain pill per day. She also prescribed me a medication that I am severely allergic to and when I pointed that out she looked at my chart and then said "its only a cousin to that medicine". Then I was treated like a drug addict from that point on. Never felt so humiliated at the doctors.

I feel like the second Dr. Sahai walked in and saw my physical status, she was already somewhat pre-judging my disposition. She just about stopped hearing what I was saying shortly after upon hearing my current meds. There was a little back and forth, but from the on, she was hearing me, but not really listening.. One of the worst feelings was that of feeling rushed once it seemed that she had already made her predisposed decision.
