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.

Skilled Dr.
I am so thankful to have had Dr. Khattri take my daughter as a patient on Teledoc on Dec. 4, 2022. In my opinion she saved my daughters eye and possibly her life because of her expertise. I might not have gone into the ER to have my daughter seen over what I thought was an allergic reaction. Over video Dr. listened carefully, asked questions and examined my daughter. She advised us to immediately go to the ER to seek a ct scan and iv antibiotics. When we got to the ER my daughter received the scan and was immediately put on IVA. She was diagnosed with Orbital Cellulitis which is very rare, especially for a 12 year old. We were eventually transferred to Stanford Children’s Medical Hospital where my daughter had an emergency surgery to save her eye and prevent the infection from entering her brain. My daughter is healthy and well and if it had not been for our initial exam with Dr. Khattri I know I would not be able to say the same for my daughter today. THANK YOU DR. KHATTRI!!!!!

Dr. Khattri is a fantastic doctor. She is caring and compassionate towards my child and very responsive. She was able to accurately diagnose my child with Kawasaki Disease, a rare disease where children can suffer long-lasting heart consequences if not diagnosed and treated in the first 10 days. Dr. Khattri was quick to respond, diagnose, and supported me step by step by providing a throughout treatment plan. She referred me with the KD specialists and discussed with them everything before arriving to the appointment. My child did not suffer long-lasting heart consequences thanks to her early intervention, expertise, and throughout examination. I can strongly recommend Dr. Khattri.

My daughter was diagnosed with anorexia immediately after visiting Dr Khattri. She knew right away and that helped with the recovery. I now have my other child see her for his annual check ups. She knows how to talk to the kiddos to make them at ease. i think she is awesome. She always asks about my daughter even if I just bring my son in for his visit.

Dr. Kattri diagnosed my daughter's eating disorder way before it became an issue. Therefore it was much easier for her to recover from it. Eating disorders are very difficult to diagnose until it is late and it is effecting an organ like heart. Most pedestrians miss the signs. When we started treatment at the UCSD eating disorder clinic, we learned that most other kids eating disorder was not diagnosed until they end up in a hospital with physical symptoms. We are forever grateful!

Dr. Khattri has a wonderful bedside manner. She is our family pediatrician and takes care of all three of my children. She listens with patience to the hundreds of questions my kids ask her and provides age appropriate answers. She followed up very promptly with concerns we had and is very good at returning calls. We have had less attentive pediatricians in the past and we are so happy to have found her.

Dr. Khattri was exceptional with my 2 boys! She always addressed my concerns whether they were big or small. I was always able to get a same day appt and if we were out of town with a sick kid she would return our email promptly. I would highly recommend her as a pediatrician. My boys were very comfortable seeing her and I liked she talked directly to them when appropriate! :)

I would recommend Dr. Khattri to all of my family and friends. She has never rushed when seeing my children and would always talk to them as well as myself. She has always answered all of my questions and is very good at returning emails or phone calls. My children are very comfortable around her and that makes the entire appointment run smooth. Also, she always makes herself available to us and that is very much appreciated.
