Dr. G is the best primary doctor I've ever had, and I've had a lot of doctors due to constantly switching insurance plans. He's super accessible and every time I call the office, they have him on the phone within a minute or two. If you ever need a form or paperwork signed, he does his best to accommodate you ASAP. As for his medical care, he always takes a holistic approach and doesn't rush into prescribing anything without making sure he knows exactly whats going on. I can't recommend this doctor enough!

I asked for an X-ray because i hurt by back due to a fall and the only thing that he did was to prescribed me painkillers. I said i don’t want to take painkillers, i need to know was going on with my back. He didn’t care. He said ,
take this, you will feel drowsy and come back after a while to see how you feel. Really?? This is how people are addicted! Because of whatever $$$$ the doctors received when they prescribe painkillers!!!

Dr. Gowda and his assistant were very kind and efficient. I have visited a few doctors since moving to New York, but have not found one that I wanted to continue seeing as my primary care physician. One visit to Dr. Gowda and I am confident that I will continue to see him, when needed. He does not make you feel rushed and I appreciated his friendly and calm personality.

He wanted me to go through certain steps before treating me.
That made him very professional to me.
He didn't let me rush into medication right away.
I'm on medication now, and will see this doctor again.
I have a couple of goals in my care that I'm sure to reach with this doctor.

April 4, 2018Paul A.Verified patient
Fantastic Doctor. Thoughtful, patient, and kind. He takes a thorough assessment of your medical history. Listens with empathy, and doesn't suggest a course of treatment until he has all the facts. I don't think I've ever had a doctor of this caliber before.

December 3, 2017Henry M.Verified patient
Great person and doctor. I don't usually write reviews, but Dr. Gowda and staff are very understanding and nice, aside from knowing your stuff, this is a big plus.
I had questions about some billing that was new to me and came in to ask about it, after explaining to me what each part of the bill was, the receptionist helped call insurance and Dr. Gowda personally spoke with Insurance company to try and clear any misunderstandings I had.
November 29, 2017Li Q.Verified patient
Other patients review is on point. He explained everything. He make sure you understand before you leave the office. He very thorough with everything. I came in for a condition. But since I’m his new patient. He did a annual check up. I finally found a doctor who care about his patient. Finally!
October 9, 2017Suvat K.Verified patient
Change my prior PCP due to waiting an insanely long period of time even with an appointment. Here I didn't have that problem, the doctor was patient and listened to what I had to say. I have only had two visits so far, but both visits were very pleasant and I shall be going here for my medical needs from now on.
