She was very kind and explained everything thoroughly. The wait time was a little long but I'm fine with that if the provider is good.

I felt very comfortable with her right away!!!
Verified patient
Dr. Sachdev was very friendly and professional, and she took the time to listen to my concerns. Reception and the nurses were also very friendly and helpful. The wait time was minimal, and overall it was a very good experience.
Dr. Sachdev was great, but she is in a shared office with other practitioners, and the staff was not the fastest at getting patients in with their doctors. That being said she was great, and she listened, in my experience that is great because many of them don't listen the patients like they should.
Love the office the workers amd the doc!!
Verified patient
She was very kind. Did not know what my appointment was about though. I specifically told the woman who scheduled me and put online that I was to be tested for Celiacs Disease and she had no idea.
Wait time was relatively short, considering that it gave me time to fill out the necessary papers. The doctor ( Sachdev) was very professional and thorough. She has excellent bedside manner. However, it is obvious that the office has not trained their assistants in how to be professional. The young lady who was assisting Dr. Sachdev was speaking to the patients like a drill sergeant.
It was a good appointment despite the wait time to see her. But once I was called back, the process was quick. Vitals were taken, history was put in computer and next thing I knew I saw the doctor. She was very friendly and knowledgeable.
I will never return to Dr. Sachdev. I had to wait about 30 minutes after being taken back to the examination room before she came in. She asked questions, did a very minimal examination, told me she was ordering bloodwork and I've never seen her again. I went back for my results and waited in the exam room more than an hour and had to leave. She never called with the results, to this date over a year later I still don't know my results but I paid for labwork and still having issues. I am looking for a new doctor now.
Verified patient
Wonderful
Doctor seemed slightly brusque but highly confident. I feel the first visit went well and am optimistic about resolving the problem I came for.
I think the doctor is great. What I did not like was waiting over an hour before I was seen. I do understand that there was two of us booked at the same time. While I understand accidents happen, I sincerely hope that this will be my only exposure to this type of problem at her office. I would like to contnue being seen by her.
