The reviews listed below were collected independently of Great River Health through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
He was incredibly thorough, which was a nice change of pace as doctors usually rush you out of the room. With that being said, he completely dismissed all concerns for physical symptoms that have been progressively worsening for over a year. These symptoms have completely impacted my life, taking me out of work and making everyday tasks difficult. This was supposed to be a step forward in my care, but it was a huge step backwards and has been very upsetting. The last thing someone wants to hear from a medical professional is that their severe physical pain is caused by stress, and a chronic illness will just “go away eventually”. I cannot manage my stress when my illness dictates my life, and those who are supposed to help me do not do their job.

After 15 years of looking for a good rheumatologist, Dr. Poddar is by far the best doctor in this field that I have found. Compassionate, thorough, perceptive; rare qualities in a doctor these days.
