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.

Excellent care

Dr. Gotmare is always able to meet with me via telehealth incredible quickly. She is very resposive and I have received excellent care. She is quick to get you in to see a specialist if need be. Overall very pleased with my care.

Ignore the patient's legitimate demands
I asked her to register the vaccination record I received abroad, but she only said something else and blocked further communication. I messaged her again but she didn't reply even she already read. Also, she has more days off than working days.

One of the worst doctor experiences I have had. Seems to degrade my own opinions and straight facts that have happened in my health past and left numerous appointments not feeling heard, disappointed and very sad. No bedside manner, very rushed and not thorough. Felt like I was gaslit numerous times in her presence. Did not feel like I was helped at all in every situation. Would NOT recommend going to this doctor.

What an awful experience. As a healthy 30 something experiencing symptoms that were new and concerning - Dr. Gotmare shrugged me off and told me to go dance class more - "just anxiety." Luckily I changed doctors who took my concerns more seriously, and I'm on the right path.

This Doctor has NO bedside manners. She told me TWICE to just "stop eating" and motioned her hand to mouth. I came in to talk about my plantar fasciitis and how to help it, given I was training for Obstacle Course Racing. She told me to not do those "kind of runs" because I shouldn't given my weight and plantar fasciitis. Guess what- I have done 6 OCRS (4- 5 miles and 2 8-10 miles ones) and didn't stop eating. HORRIBLE DOCTOR!

I visited Dr Gotmare for my regular Physical. She is very pleasant, good listener and very knowledgeable in advising about medications. She advised me on how to stay healthy and even downloaded an App on my Iphone to track my calories. I felt very encouraged after my appointment with her. She is an excellent doctor and I will keep her as my Primary care physician

Incredibly rude and arrogant to begin with (agree with every review here). She did not even attempt diagnosis. Her basic advice was " Go to the ER when you collapse!!!". She started to compare her health to mine and how she "feels great" at the same blood pressure. Extremely argumentative over clean facts and highly irrational. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND NOT GOING TO THIS DOCTOR. She is certainly the WORST medical professional I have ever met.

Evasive, indirect and would scare you with her prognosis (not diagnosis). Don't recommend.

she has no knowledge of medicines. She will not talk about your problem and scare you by negative feedbacks but not give any solutions. I do not know how she got her degree. She is the worst doctor I have ever meet. worst experience, time waste. Please do not go. Check every doctor ratings before visiting them. I do this after visiting Sonali gotmare. Overall she will not help you with anything.

Confrontational. Was taken aback when I showed up sick and her question was, so, what IS it that you want ME to do. Very uncomfortable exercise having her as your primary care physician.

I've been at Dr. Gotmare office just once for an annual check-up and wouldn't recommend her to anyone: - She was yawning and looking at the watch during the whole appointment - She was not interested in my health issues - I had to pull answers to my questions
