The doctor injected the allergy shot too fast and caused big headache and body ache right afterwards. I felt fainting, dizzy and big headache right after the shot. The headache, dizziness and pain lasted even till the next day!

He wastes no time but still keeps the conversation warm and personable. I appreciated how efficient and focused he was while making sure I felt heard and comfortable
May 22, 2025Leone L.Verified patient
Dr. Kothari was very thorough and polite. What I most appreciate about this office is that before simply doing procedures (or even starting an appointment for that matter), they check with your insurance company to be sure you don’t incur unexpected costs. I went in on a Saturday and they weren’t immediately able to contact my insurance, so rather than just trying to get my money, they were willing to let me cancel the appointment if they couldn’t say for certain that I’d only be responsible for my copay. Thankfully everything worked out and this speaks volumes about their integrity. Looking forward to trusting them with my care.

Good experience, however update address properly. 906 building and suite is N, which was missing. Had to give a call to find out Which suite I am supposed to visit as building has multiple suites and there is no listing board to figure out

The reception receptionist was very welcoming as soon as I walked in, and the doctor that I saw was very thorough. He took me in his office, sat me down and asked about my medical history, medications etc. then brought me into the doctors room checked my lungs checked me for a sinus infection. Gave me an antibiotic. Overall, I was very happy. I just wish the place had parking.
January 28, 2025Kristal C.Verified patient
He was very professional and had great bedside manners. Listened to my concerns and provided immediate relief as well as a plan for a long term treatment.
November 20, 2024Cynthia U.Verified patient
Dr. Kothari was so amazing. I am usually skeptical of male doctors and afraid of feeling overlooked or not listened to. He has amazing bed side manner, makes jokes and I immediately felt comfortable with him. His staff is attentive and nice and the office is so clean. I even almost passed out after a shot and they were so sweet and helped me and took extra time with me.
November 4, 2024Olivia C.Verified patient
