I loved the fact that he focuses more on prevention than cure. He was well aware of cultural practices, gave sufficient time to us and answered all our questions with utmost patience.
August 21, 2025Prachiben P.Verified patient
He was efficient with the time we had, asked questions and genuinely listened, and he didn't just say take 2 of these and call me if it doesn't work, he scheduled the follow-up appointment on the spot. It was a good appointment.

The Doctor didn’t answer any questions properly, nor prescribed the required tests. He was more focused on making small talk

October 16, 2025Abby F.Verified patient
I was confused when I came in, because I could not find a receptionist. Later, I discovered that I had to use a computer on counter to reach him.
The visit was short, and the doctor was quick. It is hard to memorize all the information he loaded me with during such a brief meeting.
Less than 1 year agoInitials hidden
Completely wasted my time. They could not provide care for what I needed. I booked with this issue, talked to their pre appointment bot after being called and told to continue to fill out more information. Day of, called before and still not told they cant help. The doc then gets on video call and proceeds to waste ten more minutes before saying he isn't qualified to assist.

Five minutes before the appointment I was informed the provider did not come to work. The office failed to inform me prior to the appointment. I needed medication refilled. I spent twenty minutes in ire-appointment paperwork. I closed my office early. I spent twenty minutes driving to the appointment.
It turns out this provider did not have other appointments before or after my appointment. He blew me off. And the office did not work to make sure I had healthcare today. I don’t have refills for my medications. The lack of care and concern is appalling.
I have reported this to the State and my insurance company
August 15, 2025Robert K.Verified patient
I had my first appointment today with Dr. Dhruva Gulur as a new patient, and the experience was very positive. Dr. Gulur was kind, attentive, and made me feel comfortable right away. I really appreciated the way he listened and explained things clearly. Overall, I left with a great impression and feel confident about continuing my care here.
August 4, 2025Yizhen W.Verified patientVideo visit
The guy was nice enough and I didn’t feel judged but he talked about Michael Jordan for five minutes and then said I was out of time after 20 mins total visit time. I didn’t get to review vaccines, a referral I needed, talk about putting him down as my primary care physician, and they don’t even take my bloodwork at the office. Even my dermatologist does that. Essentially, all we did was order blood work for me to go do somewhere else and schedule a follow up.
If you choose this Dr be aware you may need to cut him off in conversation so you can talk about what’s important to you. Also, there is an AI screening which takes 20 mins so come early but the nice thing is he has a ton of appointments slots open - maybe a little telling.
To be fair I am giving him one more chance with the follow up and if that doesn’t work out, it’s time to reopen my search.
