Deepali Kothary, OBGYN

I visited Dr. Kothary today and was very concern about something. I made the appointment last night using ZOCDOC and in the morning I called to confirm. My appointment was at 1000 and the waiting time is 0. The receptionist is very nice. The office is good and they play radio music which I liked. The Doctor was very nice and gentle. No rush and no pressure. I took my time and she took her time. I will visit her again in 2 months. This is my first GYN visit in 9 years so you know how nervous I could be.

Dr. Kothary Deepali could use a little personable skills. If you smile at her, she stares you down like it’s an effort to return the smile! I heard OB GYN are less warm and friendly compared to Midwives, but you get more love from a vending machine than from Dr. Deepali. Each visit makes me cringe and it feels like a drive through, she has this ‘wam, bam and done!’ Demeanor about her.

I had a good first visit with this doctor. The appointment process was easy with ZocDoc online and it wasnt too hard to park in the garage attached to the building/​hospital. My appointment started on time and the receptionist was friendly enough. While the dr. wasn’t extremely warm and fuzzy, she was knowledgable and to the point. She also answered all my questions and assisted with prescriptions. My test results arrived quickly and I am able to access them online. I will be returning to this office as overall it was a good experience.

Very cold. First time visiting this office I was in search for a obgyn in the area. The experience was horrible. The doctor is unfriendly and even worse doesn’t feel the need to explain much of anything to her patients. I have only visited once because I refuse to waste time and money.

I liked the doctor. Too bad the previous posters had problems scheduling appointments but I’ve rarely been impressed with receptionists. The doctor answered my questions and seemed pretty calm.

I wouldn’t even rate her one star! Dr Kothary was terrible. Every time i walked in for my appointment there was no smile on her face whatsoever. Whenever i told her about anything weird about my pregnancy, She would simply answer it like «oh don’t worry it happens to everyone». I don’t need that kind of answer from my doctor! i want my doctor to be concerned and take action!
I went to her for my second pregnancy. Every time i told her things she would also be like «its not your first baby. You should remember these from your previous pregnancy» :O How rude is that!
The only reason i carried on with her was because it was convenient for me and i didnt want to change doctors since i prefered female doctors only.
After the delievry, Even before she congratulated me of the baby, she goes to me «next time make sure you get epidural etc»
Another thing, she was gone back to her country for 3weeks+ and i had to make sure to make my appointment for later upon her return! :\
HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE.
I hope people can read my review before going to her!
I saw her during my pregnancy in 2013

I also have had a bad experience with this doctor. First of all, she takes patient for granted. It’s just the first day of my appointment when I saw her with a stiff smile. Later every time she was like doing a favor checking our condition. She tries to dominate the patient and Ty to teach them, hello !! We are not your kids, so as to give a look or talk rude. When I asked to transfer my records, they said, it would take 2 days and tht we will call you… 8 days, and we re still waiting for their call. When I called finally, receptionist was like… yes, they are ready and you can pick up anytime. At least she could hav informed me of that. I was avoiding to see her again, because I never felt good seeing her depressed face. Hate this doctor! You go to doctor, to feel good… not to feel worse and worried. Thank god! i changed my doc soon. Bad mannered at all!

I’ ve a very bad experience at this office. I saw the doctor 2005 – 2007.
The receptionist Ms. Tsion messed up my insurance information and when I called to inquire about it she was very defensive and gave me an attitude instead of apologizing. I had to call her several times to follow up on the issue, during the course of time my case was transferred to collectors I had a year to clear that up with them. All she had to do was use my current insurance info instead of the old one.
The doctor had made a very condescending remark about my medical condition which I will never ever forget and I’m still hurt by it. Every time I went to see her, all that came to me was her condescending remark. I then finally changed a doctor and asked for my medical record to be transferred to the new doctor. I spoke to the same receptionist, paid on line, informed her about my appointment date with the new Dr. and asked for the records to be sent before that. She never sent it to the new doctor’s office. When I called to follow up on it, she was rude 10 times more. I had to call her three times to remind her to send it which she said she did but the new Dr.‘s office didn’t get. I finally asked her to send it to me which she did with missing records.
I asked to speak to the doctor who took it personal that I changed and doctor and I told her what my reasons were: 1. insurance mess, 2. rude receptionist, 3. which was the most hurtful, her remarks to which she denied, 4. not sending my medical record per my request to the new Dr.‘s office, 5. had to plead for it to be sent to me and that I got incomplete record.
The doctor was as rude considering her caliber and raised her voice denying the remarks she’s made about my medical condition, and accused the other office for not «doing their job properly, a lot of people running around and who knows what’s going on there». I told the Dr and the receptionist that I’d pick up my medical record when I can and that they have it ready for me in my folder.
I went to pick it up today (1÷6÷2011) — receptionist asked rudely what I wanted and I told her that I was there to pick up my medical record and gave her my name — I explained that we had talked over the phone and that I was there to pick up the record. She went through my folder and was not sure which one to pick up to she picked up one and said «here». When I saw her uncertainty, I asked for the whole copy to which replied she didn’t have time to do it. I told her I could wait or help her make the copies. She ignored me and started attending another person. I asked her why she ignored me and she gave me a dirty look and said the person had to leave. I told her I also have to leave. She attended the person and went about her business. I was standing at the counter waiting for an answer. Then I told her that she was being rude and hell broke loose. She started calling me names and said I was a daughter of a «loose woman» — She doesn’t know me, she doesn’t know my mother. She named my country of origin and said I don’t belong there — I really do not know what that has to do with me asking for my record. I was very upset and asked to speak to the doctor and sat waiting
The doctor came out and told me she was rushing to go to an emergency room. Then she turned around and told the person who was waiting to see her to wait for her. I told her what I had to tell her wouldn’t take a minute she reluctantly agreed. I told her what happened that I didn’t expect such treatment. I mentioned about my mom being insulted. The doctor was ver defensive and said «Tsion did not insult your mother» — she was not there how did she know?
I told her I was going to write about the whole experience and she tried to be friendly and nice; the doctor who half a minute ago was rushing to the emergency room found the time to talk to me. I reminded her about her emergency room and she told me she would give me time and sat me on the patient’s chair and tried be nice.
I never expected such unpleasantness from such an establishment. The doctor is from a 3^rd world country, so is the receptionist and I. Somethings never leave our psyche. The doctor wouldn’t dare make the remarks she did about my medical condition hadn’t I been a foreigner with a weird name, neither would the receptionist.
We come from third world countries where human life is not respected and try to apply the same to people whom we think can’t react.
Thank you AMERICA for the freedom of speech! I can write and vent my frustration and disappointment. Thank you Unilocal!
