Dr Pandit is what I call patients doctor! He explains things in simple layperson terms and involves patient in present and future treatment. He is a commonsensical physician and commonsense is what is universally acclaimed as WISDOM!

He was dismissive. Wouldn't give me measurements on my arthritis just eyeballed it. His words, not mine. It's early onset and told me it was likely genetic. Told me to stop hiking and go swimming or bike riding instead. He lacked any concern or empathy for my lifestyle and my passion for hiking and backpacking. He told me if I kept doing it I'd pay for it in pain. Great. I wanted tangible things I could do to help my knee pain. He told me to stop hiking. I told him how hiking saved my life after a devastating blood clot and the extent of my blood clot. I tried to tell him why, but he cut me off. He wasn't rude, but he also treated me like I was an [omitted] patient instead of a healthy [omitted] woman. He failed to account for my medical history and the benefits that hiking brings to me and instead told me to go swimming or bike riding.

Very professional. I am aware my age and health hover in the background but I needed a bit of positive encouragement.

This was a very disappointing doctor visit. I went in for a hip concern and he never even looked at my hip. He didn't ask any questions about symptoms other than my initial reason for the visit. All he did was tell me to see my original hip surgeon. What a waste of time and money to be seen by him. I am still upset that the appointment was even scheduled.

Felt very positive about getting knee replacement and recovery
-
Very pleased with care
-
Dr. Pandit answered all my questions to my satisfaction.
-
Everything good
-
Unfortunately Kaiser hadn't sent the X-rays so they had to be repeated.

I went for hip pain and he immediately jumped to whether or not I was a candidate for hip replacement. He wiggled both my legs for less than 30 seconds. I had to ask about PT. He didn't suggest it. I imagine there could be other things wrong with my hip that don't require a hip replacement. He did suggest a steroid shot. Maybe I was sent to the wrong type of doctor, but that is optum's responsibility to send me to the right person.
-
Dr Pandit was familiar with my case, thoroughly explained the plan of care and answered all of my questions. This was a challenging situation for me and I appreciated his responsiveness in the face of my concerns about my care
-
We had to re do exams as you couldn't access from Kaiser. I think you could of.
-
Dr. Pandit was thorough, helpful, and knowledgeable.

I make a concerted effort to treat all of my patients as individuals. I try to understand how their ailment affects their personal and professional lives. I then try to tailor a treatment plan (surgical or non-surgical) that best suits their desires and goals.Gender
