More about Dr. Shilpa J. Gaikwad, MD

For patient safety, MemorialCare Medical Group providers will not prescribe most controlled substances (including opioids like codeine, and benzodiazepines like valium) for new patients they have only evaluated via telehealth, rather than in person. Many controlled substances have a high potential for abuse, and overdose on controlled substances may result in death. Without an in person visit, the potential risk outweighs the intended benefit. If you believe you may need a prescription for a controlled substance, please schedule an in person visit. "Being part of a large, well-respected, progressive group has definite advantages for both my patients and me. My patients gain access to more fully integrated care from me, their primary care physician, to the hospital, to a wider network of the area's best specialists, and to additional services and technologies that are not possible in a one physician office. And, I have peace of mind knowing that I am providing my patients with the best care possible." Dr. Gaikwad is board certified in family medicine and is happy to be a part of MemorialCare Medical Group.
