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.

Similar to other reviews - rushes appointments, shows up late (myself and two other families were the first appointment for the day and he SHOWED UP 45 minutes past our appointment), seems to not fully care to hear the details of your issue and more interested in giving analogies rather than having a real discussion around your concerns. If you do end up coming back with a continual issue, be prepared to explain to him all that he has thought of and tried previously, as he comes in to the room unprepared and without reviewing previous visit notes. On top of the issues with the physician, calling and dealing with his receptionist is a nightmare. She is extremely rude and unprofessional, when you can get ahold of her. Their hours are extremely limiting and when you have to leave a message, don't. The only time they call back is after hours, so if you miss their call, you can't even call back because their phones are off.

Does not listen to a word you say. Does not take concerns seriously and makes you feel stupid for even asking. Always late for appointments and then he rushes through them and brushes off any questions. Ex: Saw my baby in-office and said he was just teething and that's why he was crying/not eating/not sleeping- turns out the next day we found sores in his mouth from HFMD. We ended up switching providers. We're sad to leave the nurses/staff because they were wonderful (besides the very rude front desk lady), but we want a provider who actually cares about their patients.

When we go there the service is great as far as trying to make a appointment it’s harder than pulling teeth. You can call every hour for days and leave messages but don’t ever expect a call back. This has been like this for years and debated about finding another doctor but seeing we feel it’s the fault of the secretary we haven’t but there’s no way the doctors doesn’t know about their poor job performance

He knows how to make a great first impression but good luck if there’s anything actually wrong with your child. Rushed appointments and doesn’t take your concerns seriously at all. My baby was crying in the office and he rudely stated “oh so this is how I’m going to start my day?” It is impossible to get hold of anyone on the phone here. Sometimes takes days to call you back or no call at all. They sent the wrong prescription to the pharmacy TWICE for my baby. I had CVS calling me saying the dose was too high and they couldn’t get hold of anyone at the office to fix it. They had my baby tested for an egg allergy and told me he didn’t have one, only to now find out from going to a specialist that was recommended by my new dr he DOES have an egg allergy and a peanut allergy. (Which my concerns on that were brushed aside) I’ve never in my life had so many issues with a dr/the office. I would write more if I wasn’t about to run out of space. Your child is just a number here.

Our family moved just under an hour away to Massachusetts and refuse to see another pediatrician. Dr Khanbhai treats our kids the same way that he would treat his own. His practice has been there for us in the best and worst of times. Whether we simply needed a form for daycare or treating our sons c-diff, They have the best follow through. Additionally, Dr K has an amazing intuition. Our daughter had no tick bite or rash but knew based on other symptoms to order a Lymes test which was positive

Rushed appoinents and seemed disinterested in my child. Didn't take my questions seriously. Felt like he was brushing me off so he could get to the next patient. Won't go back.
