I have never met this doctor before yesterday, so it is hard to judge how much I would trust her after only one visit. She did listen to my concerns about a cough and took steps to find out the cause.

I like having a virtual appointment because I cannot drive and somebody has to bring me. And Dr. Kothari is just a wonderful doctor. She listens carefully and gives me wonderful advice. And I couldn't give any higher recommendation to anybody.

The check in routine was insufficient for good patient care and inefficient even bothersome and ineffective for a pleasant, timely check in.

Dr did not read my file until I told her that I had one. She assumed that I was a new patient with no history with pulmonary diagnosis
July 21, 2024

The doctor wanted to see my child back in 3 weeks but no appointments were available until almost 8 weeks. It would be nice to be able to see the doctor in a timely fashion especially when dealing with the issues of a child who is trying to handle school, sports, etc. Not sure how to fix this but it definitely will impact my referrals to this practice.
