Pushpa Chauhan, DPM

AWFUL!!! I’ve never in my life written a Unilocal review but was so appalled at the treatment I received by this office that I felt compelled to share. From the moment I walked in it was clear that they were interested only in getting themselves paid and could care less about the patients’ needs. After presenting my insurance card, they demanded that I give them a credit card to ‘keep on file’ in the event my insurance didn’t cover the visit. I called my ins co and they told me that this was totally ridiculous. I needed help with my foot, so against my better judgement I went along with it.
The Dr finally comes out and very rudely escorts me to the examination room where she begins to lambast me about making an appointment the day before and how that didn’t give her time to check with the insurance company, etc. I reminded her that HER office offered the appointment time and if that wasn’t enough notice, maybe they should have said so over the phone! She then angrily accused me of not having provided my insurance card, which of course I had (her receptionist was making a copy). Then, she tells me that I’m being ‘too sensitive’ when I tell her that I feel like I’m being treated badly. After finally deciding to leave, I ask her for the copy of my credit card and the forms that I filled out (which included my SS number, etc) and she REFUSED! She then walks out to the reception area and begins telling everyone in earshot that I threatened her!!! Utterly ridiculous and such a disgusting tactic to use!
The receptionists at the adjacent desks had to intervene and help me get the forms. This is the absolute WORST experience I have ever had at any doctors office and I urge anyone considering coming here to avoid at all costs! They are money hungry, rude and unprofessional and although I didn’t get treated, I can imagine that they are just as sloppy in that department as well. STAY AWAY!

Dr. Pushpa provided me with the utmost knowledgeable and attentive care.
I found her through the general physician (Dr. Isaacs) that I have trusted for over ten years more than any doctor that I have seen in my life, and who has referred me to the best specialists, regardless of my issue.
Dr. Isaacs has been a godsend to me, and many of my friends and colleagues that I have referred to him. Just take a look around the office at the platitudes, and gifts of artwork from his patients, and you will understand.
While his bedside manner may leave you wanting, know that he is beyond knowledgeable, and sends patients to the best specialists.
And she is one of those amazing referrals.
I have had a few recurring issue with my feet, and had seen doctors for over twenty years regarding these issues, to no avail.
She diagnosed several of my issues on the spot, literally as I took off my shoes on my first visit, and gave me alternate treatments (that worked!), when no doctor had done as much in twenty years!
She has amazing bedside manner, almost to a fault, as she engages with intent, and intensely.
That said, I would rather that disposition with a doctor than the disengaged type that I have dealt with in the past.
I have also dealt with the doctors with other specialities that are in the same office.
Suffice it to say, the apple does not fall far from the tree.
I have no Unilocal reviews aside from this, and there won’t be many more.
But I do feel that strongly about the level of care that Pushpa and Isaacs offer.

Dr. Pushpa is terrible. That is the only way I can describe the treatment I received in her office. I initially went for a visit last year to get surgery for an ingrown toenail. I went in and that same day she operated on my toe (both sides of the nail). I went back a few time for post-​op checkups and everything healed just fine. I just went back today to receive the same surgery on my other toe. She said that because I hadn’t been there for over a year she could not perform the surgery. What?! That doesn’t make any sense she since had already done a same day surgery for me before. I explained to her that my insurance was going to expire this week and asked if there was anyway she could see me any time the rest of the week and she said no. In the middle of my speaking she walks out of the room. Rude! When she comes back she says, «Okay we can do the surgery». She briefly looks at my toe and says only one side could get the surgery. The anesthesia for this procedure (needle) is extremely painful and I asked if we could please do both sides at once. She said no again and when I asked why she could not give me a reason. I asked if this was a medical reason and she said no, that the toe on one side looked fine. I explained to her that both sides were in extreme pain and she still said no to surgery on both sides. She said we could do the other side at the «next visit». I reminded her that I would not have insurance for around 3 months and that I couldn’t wait in pain for the other side that long. She still denied me (which makes me feel like she wanted to split my visits to maximize her own profits)! What kind of doctor turns a patient who’s in pain away?! I am appalled at her behavior. Especially since I calmly said that’s fine. I will try to find someone who can perform surgery on both sides by this week. As I was getting my sandal on she was mumbling about how she would not be forced into a surgery. Which was completely ridiculous and unprofessional. I would NEVER recommend this doctor to anybody!
