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.

I did not like her. She was condescending and insisted that I needed EPO shot even though my nephrologist told her not to give it to me. The waiting once you get inside the initial waiting room is terrible. I was placed in a line of chairs in another waiting area and then finally after Vital signs was sent to an exam room. I did not like to be able to see other patients getting infusions. It made me very uncomfortable especiallyY after having just lost my parents. I couldn’t get out fast enough

Do not go here. Never in my life did I think I would have to explain to an endocrinologist why I need my insulin as a type one diabetic. After arguing with the doctor herself, she finally gave me a prescription for the insulin I need to live.

Dr Gautam has been my Doctor for over 27 years. She has and continues to help me threw maintaining good health. She is professional, knowledgeable, direct, and caring. The past 22 years I travel an hour and 20 minutes. every 3 months for my appointments. I wouldn't go to any one else.

This was the most disturbing visit with a physician I have ever experienced. She is the third Endocrinologist I have seen in 7 years (due to insurance and a move) and she is not even close to professionalism or expertise of other two. She asked no questions except for wanting to change my medications and gave no explanation. When I was unwilling to consider changing meds since I am doing better than previously, she showed me the door - literally. Her demeanor was angry and condescending.

Very poor bedside manner. Very rude and condescending and does not explain treatment. God like complex. Due to my current insurance I am stuck with her. Once I obtain new insurance will definitely switch to new Endocrinologist. Very disappointed. I have heard nothing but bad reviews from others. My urologist instructed tme to seek new endo as soon a possible. Overall, very dissatisfied.
