Dr. Kulvinder was very nice, efficient and traced my problem (I believe so). I'm not a Dr. so it's difficult for me to say how professional he is but I did not have a reason to believe he is not.

I liked the doctor and the staff, but zocdoc never sent my appointment to them so they had to squeeze me in. I definitely do no recommend using zocdoc. Call the office directly.

He is warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. And he didn't rush me through the appointment.
He is very bright, personable and takes his time to figure out what's wrong.

Everyone was very friendly and professional.

The front office was very confusing and they seemed to not be able to handle a patient checking out and me. The receptionist appeared to either be new or just plain rude. I was ushered in to a small office and went over my injuries with a nurse who seemed disinterested at best. I was constantly referred to by office staff as "her" and "she" rather than my name or "the patient". The doctor came in for less than five minutes and only asked where my x-rays were and why was I there if the ER saw no definite fractures...I brought the report but neither nurse nor doctor looked at it. The doctor left the room and saw other patients for a while then came in and said he looked at my x-rays (the ER sent them over) and proceeded to tell me nothing was wrong and offered to give me a brace "or something" if I wanted. When I explained that the ER staff felt that there were fractures but that it would take a few days to become visible in an x-ray and perhaps more should be taken. That was dismissed completely as was the pain and bruising and swelling. No attempt was made to discuss pain relief or how to relieve the swelling. It was frighteningly obvious that the office is run like an assembly line. The doctor then told me he wanted to see me back in two weeks to see if there was any improvement, or, if I didn't want to come back, that was fine too. I was then dismissed without any paperwork or documentation of any kind that I was seen. To call my visit less than satisfactory would be a gross understatement.
Verified patient
Both the nurse and physician explained my condition and offered treatment options. I chose to begin with the least invasive procedure. Will hope for relief and progress to more aggressive approach if necessary. The collaborative decision regarding treatment was welcome.
Dr. Sachar is great! He provides a quick but thorough diagnosis, and then answers your questions quickly and gives you options.
