She is caring. Thorough. Professional. I feel at ease with her directing my care.

She has great communication; she explained topics and answered questions in a respectful manner. Additionally, she didn't assume anything first, she pulled up medical records from other practices and doctors then asked questions. Attentive and friendly are hard to come by in the specialty.

I haven't made up my mind yet about her. I don't recall her mentioning anything about the risks of the procedures but she claimed she did in the avs, although nothing noteworthy has happened as of yet. She was very personable and she seemed quite proficient so I was comfortable enough to be candid with her. On further review of some of her statements however, I disagree significantly on the issue of nitrofurantoin vs cefuroxime. Also, and most importantly, among the followup tests she ordered subsequent to the examination, she included an ANA, which leaves me bewildered as to her reasoning for inclusion of a test that screens for autoimmune dysfunction. It seems as though she wont answer my questions that I've addressed to her by phone. Moreover she's ordered a followup test even though the titer was only 1:40 whereas the conventional lower threshold of concern is 1:80. I wrote to her only yesterday [omitted] so hopefully she will give me a cogent reply shortly. To conclude, the jury is still out, so to speak.

Dr Gandhi arrives for patient visits well prepared with all needed test results and absolutely shows great empathy for health concerns and she has helpful targeted suggestions to resolve the concerns. She also makes follow up personal phone calls with patients to ensure their well being. Thank You Dr Gandhi.
