Dr. Anahat Sandhu, MD

Dr. Sandhu is wonderful in every way. She listens carefully and explains everything thoroughly. She treats patients with respect. Her staff is skilled and very friendly.

I feel very fortunate to have Dr. Sandhu as my ob-gyn. I am an physician myself. She is a great clinician, good listener, and a calming presence. Her guidance helped lead me through a healthy pregnancy (despite gestational diabetes), and I had a great experience during the birth of my daughter (who came out healthy, hearty, and quite feisty).

I am shocked at the negative reviews for Dr. Sandhu! My experience has always been very positive. She is kind and thorough with a great sense of humor. I can be overly modest about some things but Dr. Sandhu made me feel like I could talk to her about anything. This is the first physician I felt so comfortable with. I have recommended her very highly for her ability to make me fill at ease.

While Dr. Sandhu delivered two of my three pregnancies, I opted to transfer care to a different OBGYN at 36 weeks pregnant with my third. Over the years I have known and met with Dr. Sandhu I found her to be impatient (when it suited her), condescending, and patronizing. When I tried to advocate for myself, I felt completely dismissed. I struggled with extreme sickness with all three pregnancies and I believe her egocentricity hindered her ability to acknowledge the issues and provide adequate guidance and care that could have resulted in better and healthier pregnancies. If it’s important that you feel listened to and understood, seek care elsewhere.

FYI if you choose to use midwives/a birth center for your birth, Dr. Sandhu will not coordinate care with them and also won't let you come back to see her a patient anytime in the future (even for pap tests or other routine things). Really surprising and disappointing. She also talks a lot about herself and her experiences in med school in appointments and will give very direct advice. For example she told me and my husband not to tell anyone the sex of our baby until after the baby was born so we would get better baby shower gifts. She didn't ask any questions about what we would prefer to do, just told us what she thought. She seems incredibly anxious during appointments. Some patients may like this style, but it's not for me. Office staff are rude and impatient. Overall a pretty bad experience.

I went to her office for pelvic pain and the she and her staff were extremely rude. She asked me a bunch of questions and never even did an exam. I left feeling confused.

My daughter relayed the following to me: Dr. Sandhu accused me of giving her incorrect information about my women's health history. I know I did not make a mistake with this information so she must have written it down wrong. She was visibly annoyed by this error (which was hers) and acted impatient for the rest of the appointment. She told me that she had to see another patient and that I couldn't wait to ask questions only when I felt comfortable to ask them. I politely waited for her to finish speaking before asking a question, so I'm not sure what she wanted me to do. Dr. Sandhu apparently has no patience for people who haven't anticipated every question that could arise during an appointment.

I had a complicated pregnancy and I truly believe my twins were successfully delivered because of Dr Sandhu. She treated me as if I was her most important patient (which clearly I was one of many.) dr Sandhu was extremely knowledgable and was invested in my pregnancy.

Excellent Doctor. Dr. Sandhu is professional, thorough, and thoughtful. I never feel rushed, and all of my options are explained. Her staff is very organized and professional as well.
