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.

DO NOT RECOMMEND DR KULKARNI!!!!

She’s horrible, uncaring, her lack of communication, failure to address patient concern and I have to call for a follow -up, was 40min late for my appointment ,didn’t explain why iam having pain and order me useless test on me . She won’t write me a referral that I needed for my pain. Please avoid Kulkarn!!!If you are really concern about your health, she will not help you at all, she told me go find a different GI specialist.

I had a visit with Dr. Kulkarni for the first time. I am a clinician myself and I have to say I was astonished by her lack of bedside manner and poor attitude. She was 20 min late and when she started the session she did not even acknowledge the long wait. She came across as very self-entitled and arrogant and lost my trust right there. I work with over 23 specialists myself as a clinician and also see patients myself and yes there are times you may be running late but you always inform the patient, acknowledge if you are late, display a courteous manner towards your patient, and show respect to their time as well.

She is unwilling to listen to my concerns as a patient and it is near impossible to ask a question unless you have her face to face. It took over 3 weeks for me to receive my prescription after she had prescribed a medication that was not approved by my insurance. I am beyond frustrated with her lack of concern for her patients.
