Everyone was very friendly at the office! They were also very patient with me when I was nervous about getting blood work (terrible with needles). I definitely recommend Dr. Punjabi's office.

The office is really outdated and i did not feel comfortable with the doctor. Wouldn't go there another time.
Receptionist not very pleasant. Fees for medical forms very pricey.
Verified patient
She was fine with general office visit but otherwise, very very unprofessional. I had a gynocological exam and she was very rough with me. All this office cares about is money- bills insurance for every little thing. God forbid you're a new patient- she will also bill insurance for that. Overall bad experience! never coming back again.

Horrible. Do Not take your loved ones to this woman. She took tests without my consent, as well as making false accusations. Her assistant at that time told me she had quit because the doctor was awful. Shortly after quitting the doctor had called her begging for her to return because no one else would work for her. I should have listened to the assistant and left immediately. She is awful, unprofessional, and demeaning.
Overall an unpleasant experience at my last appointment, and I am looking for a new Primary Care Physician. I went for a general physical so I could get a referral for a dermatology appointment the next day. Dr. Punjabi insisted that I should cancel that appointment and she could examine my skin instead (she also gave me an unwanted prescription for acne). Then, before I left, I had to honest-to-God *argue* with her in order to get my referral - ridiculous! Additionally, they wither didn't have enough staff or they are just horribly disorganized. It was just her and one nurse, who serves as a front desk receptionist as well. There were only between 1 and 3 patients in her office at a time, but it felt like they were juggling 15+ patients. They were rushing around and generally disorganized! They were also quite snippy with each other which made for an uncomfortable experience.

I only went there for a gyno exam and she insisted on giving me blood work more then I agreed to I believe when I already have a primary and a specialty doctor I'm seeing she was pressuring me to have my other doctors fax my information over to her and she pressured me to come back for a physical. I would not recommend her she seems like she is trying to nickel and dime patients I will not have a higher copay cause of the blood she took when all I wanted to see her for was a gyno exam.
Verified patient
Rude, not very caring. Lady at the front desk insisted they keep my copay just to get back some test results, something that could have been said over the phone.

Good

She was very unprofessional. Reaching over me to get an item never said excuse me. Also spoke with no concern to patient was not polite did not greet me and did not tell me there was a fee until after she gave the shot needed to me daughter. She even suggested I pay that day before she would call over prescription to Walgreens, but she does not accept credit cards only cash or check . I suggested I would mail the check in. Not good vibes.... Also before I came into office a lady was leaving with her child and was fussing about the doctor; she was highly upset. That was a sign.....
Verified patient
Very pleased with Doctor P and her staff. Also having an evening appointment helped me a lot. Pretty sure my health care is in good hands.
Crook! Please stay away. went it for a last minute checkup for work, and without my permission, in addition to normal cholesterol tests, she also tested me for chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV, syphilis, and every other thing she could test my blood and urine for, without even telling me or asking my approval. I found out when I went back a week later and her son (who is also a dr. in the practice) read the results. I was floored. But nothing compared to me taking my 9 year old daughter to get a camp form filled out (I’m always last minute, I admit) and she told me my daughter needed to have a tetanus shot and be tested for lead and that I would need to reschedule a new apt for the shot before she could fill out the physical. My daughter had a school physical by her normal pediatrician (who couldn't accommodate a last minute appt) about 6 months prior and I was positive the dr would have told us if she needed anything, which at the time, was a flu shot. I goggled the schedule for tetanus shots and came across the CDC website which said the last does of the shot would be due at age 11 or 12. My daughter tuned 9 about a month prior to this. I asked the doctor. She said the age is 10. I said but my child is 9. Reluctantly she filled out the physical. This woman is solely in the profession for the money. Very unethical, unfair and extremely immoral. You’ve been warned! Btw, each of the 3 times I visited there was a new medical assistant who was starting her first day. Obviously no one wants to be employed by this woman.
