I thought she was very good in looking at my medications and changing to something new. The diet is next to check on.

My appointment was at 1:30. I didn't see the doctor until 3. The receptionist was very rude and unhelpful. Luckily the nurse was very nice and so was the doctor. I realize some offices run late, but this was pretty bad.

SHE IS ONE OF THOSE DOCTORS THAT JUST DOESN'T LISTEN TO YOU. EVERYTIME I VISIT I FEEL LIKE I WASN'T UNDERSTOOD OR HEARD.
Highly recommend Dr, Ahluwalia! Very knowledgeable, thinks outside the box and considers all options and alternatives.

On time appt. Pleasant staff. Wonderful doctor - soft spoken, calm manner - sweet.
Too many rules to be able to provide an accurate feedback on this medical office!
I didn't meet with her. kinda disappointing but the other staff was kind.
Verified patient
I disapprove of a student doing the initial interview and history.
:) She really helped me and gave me great advice.
My appointment was at 1:30. I didn't see the doctor until 3. The receptionist was very rude and unhelpful. Luckily the nurse was very nice and so was the doctor. I realize some offices run late, but this was pretty bad.
It was very professional and informative!
Verified patient
As a new patient at DR Ahluwalia's office I immediately felt I was valued and would be well taken care of. The wait time was not too long. I felt all of the office staff focused on me and my well being. I was given a plan for improving my health. The appointment I needed for the next step was set for my return in days, not months! I am pleased with all aspects of my appointment. I received a telephone call after my appointment to give me information on my medications that will help with my co-pays. 10 stars to this office!! Thank you.
Verified patient
I felt it was a good visit. She listened to my problems and discussed the effects the current medicine was having and how a change in medicine may help my symptoms. Overall it was a good visit with the Dr.
Verified patient
Sometimes a long wait time, HOWEVER worth it because this DR and her team are fabulous. She is so nice and caring. Love her receptionists as well, always smiling and in a great mood. Her PA is pretty awesoome too. :)
Verified patient
I was a new patient and got there 30 minutes early to fill out my paperwork in a timely manor. The front desk seemed a little unorganized on who needed to still fill out paperwork. I waited a after my scheduled appointment a little over an hour to be called back, then another 25-30 minutes for the doctor. The doctor was great, she answered questions I had and explained things well.
the doctor is through knowledgeable and evaluation in her evaluation of your medical care. She is kind and professional. i have been seeing her for the past year, and yes, sometimes there is a wait, but she is worth it.
Amazing Doctor.
I really liked Dr. Ahluwalia. She seems very detail-oriented and was willing to answer my questions in a thorough manner. I did spend more time with the PA, who was also very thorough and extremely friendly/helpful. I would recommend Dr. Ahluwalia and her staff to anyone looking for a competent endocrinologist.
Verified patient
Waited 3 hours to be seen, took off work for this just to be told nothing is wrong let's do a couple blood test. Completed those i go back for f/up. Dr.Ahluwalia said oh there's a thyroid nodule, people get them all the time no need to check it. With multiple other issues not gone over.....Felt like a number and not a true concern. And I work in the health field, felt so disappointed in this office and with the physicians. The only positive note literally was how nice the front desk staff and rooming nurses were.
They were amazing
Verified patient
the visit was good. The visit was a bit distorted due to the fact that I'm having difficulty getting a medication approved by insurance. I was looking for some direction, instead the office is pointing fingers at the insurance, and the insurance is pointing fingers at the office.

Typical of doctors these days, they come in to the room, read your chart while you are sitting there, ask a few questions that they already have the answer to so they don't have to listen to you, then avoid any questions you have and get up, open the door and take you to the receptionist to get your orders for test. Thankfully that is all that I wanted was the test orders so I can review them with my PCP, who by the way DOES take the time to talk to me. As an after thought before leaving she said, let me examine you. Then she took less than 30 seconds to barely brush my neck and poked my stomach, while I was sitting in a chair....not even on the examination table. Pathetic!
Verified patient
I waiting for over an hour and spent less than 5 mins with the doctor. She ordered lab tests for me and wants me to return in 3 weeks. I sure hope at my next appointment she takes the time to find out why I am so darn tired.
Verified patient
Great doctor she listens to me as her patient answers all questions explains things clearly. She checks all blood work lets me know what my body needed and it resolved the problem I was having. Slowly Iam feeling better she also Keeps close checkup on me and my condition. blood work every 3-4 weeks to make shore everything is balanced out how its supposed to be or if Iam lacking or getting too much of something. she returned my calls when I had questions. The office is full so expect a 10-20 minute wait. So far she is the best dr Ive had she knows what she's doing. If the student doctors tell you something always ask Dr Ahluwalia if its correct.
Verified patient
Always awesome!
I arrived on time to my appointment and after waiting for 20 minutes in the lobby, I was escorted to the room. After waiting in the room to be seen for 30minutes I over heard clerk looking for the doctor. She came in to room and informed me that they could not find the doctor and they did not know where she was. After 45 minutes of waiting in the room I over heard that the doctor was in a meeting, soon after doctor walks in and asked "so what's the problem". I would not recommend this doctor nor will I ever schedule a follow up.
Verified patient
Very Good
They were extremely nice and helpful. They answered all of my questions and solved my issue quickly and effectively. As they are a specialist, you may want to expect some wait due to appointments taking longer than when you go to a primary care, but they are still quick. Helps to have paper work filled out ahead or time and try to bring records.
