I felt completely brushed off by her and felt that she didn't care whatsoever about trying to help me. I felt unvalidated and interactions like the one her and I had are the reason I have such a hard time even going to the doctor and feel so hopeless within this medical system. She was unwilling to spend any time with me trying to get to the bottom of why I'm struggling everyday with life. I would not recommend her as a provider to ANYONE.. She doesn't seem to have the capacity to provide even empathy, much less medical care.

Not personable whatsoever. Dismissed my symptoms. It was almost like she wanted me to come in there crawling before she would listen to me. I plan on looking for a new doctor. She needs to learn how to be more kind when talking to clients. Just disrespectful honestly.

She is very nice and quite patient, listened to everything I was trying to discuss without putting me down like others have.

Dr. Perveena listens when I talk and offers sound advice then gives the pros and cons. Then we make the best decision for me together.

Dr. G was very interested in my overall health and well-being. Very knowledgeable and easily put things in layperson’s terms. Had great solutions to make life better.

She had not yet received my medical records nor lab results. Dismissed my concerns and symptoms, said they didn't line up with anything. Treated me like I wasn't telling the truth and let me know that there was nothing more she can do for me. She hadn't even seen my medical records yet, she didn't order any labs, no follow-ups, no evaluations. Sent me home and said there was nothing wrong with me. My primary doctor referred me for a reason. She wanted one symptom to focus on as my biggest concern and I said all of them, I am concerned woth all of them. Instead I got sent home with her stating there was nothing more she could do for me. She didn't do anything, didn't even try...

Provides the most basic level of care but is overall dismissive. Physical evaluation of joints, ROM, swelling is extremly limited and practically nonexistent. I have noticed a small improvement in bedside manner but it does not feel authentic based off of years of previous appointments.

Made me feel like I shouldn't be there. Her initial assessment (before any lab was taken) was that I was in pain because I'm fat. She told me twice, the problem is that you're overweight. Once is enough, thank you very little.
