Kavitha Kotrappa, MD

Dr. Kotrappa is a wonderful doctor. My daughter came to her after she could no longer see her pediatrician. She and her physicians assistant Julie are both awesome.
It’s so hard to find great doctors nowadays especially since so many of them seem to be influenced by the prescription companies, etc.
Dr. Kotrappa is so professional, SMART & thorough. She truly seems to care. She takes her time and explains everything. Never makes you feel rushed.
I too will be switching to her just as soon as I can!!!
Hope this review helps, don’t hesitate in going to see her, or Julie. 5 star review from me!

dr kotrappa was very welcoming and thorough! we reviewed my patient chart from my previous doctor and she shared my health information that I was never given in the past… she explained things very clear and seemed authentically concerned about my health… they also have a patient portal that u can access online with your lab results without having to make an appt to get them! very convenient!

Wow! Really the best way to describe San Dimas Family Practice. I made an appt with Dr. Kotrappa after seeing the rave reviews and I was told she was booked up but I could see her P.A. Julie. Upon my arrival I was immediately pleased with the welcoming demeanor of the office staff. I was called in within 7 minutes and was never left in the room alone for more than a minute or so. I thought it couldn’t get any better until Julie came in. She was the sweetest yet most professional person I’ve ever dealt with in her profession. Her bedside manner was commendable. She heard my concerns, asked all the right questions, and I never felt rushed. This was at 5pm mind you. At the END of the work day when most people are at their worst. I am so extremely pleased that I literally started this review before I even walked out of the office. I can’t wait for my next visit! Did I just say that I can’t wait for a physical? Ha!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this practice!
Dr Kotrappa was my Father and Mothers doctor so when I moved here from Seattle I came here for my medical needs.
When you walk in the door the front desk lady, Liz, greets you with such a pleasant but professional demeanor. Sometimes you then have to wait awhile to be seen but it’s always okay, as when they do take you back they spend with you, as well, all the time you need for your specific issue. When they need to refer you to a specialist they stay in close and constant contact with that specialist because they really do care about what’s going on with you.
Of late I have been seeing the PA, Julie Strohsahl, and she’s OUTSTANDING! She is so extremely thorough and shows her care and concern for me every single time I go to her!
I personally do not like the other lead doctor here, Sussman, and refuse to see him. That’s my personal choice as I simply do not trust his judgement. Period.
You can feel completely confident in Kotrappa, Strohsahl and their staff!

Myself and my two children have been see Dr. Kotrappa for nearly two years now. There have been no problems with scheduling appointments. I can have both my kids seen at the same time.
Dr. Kotrappa as well as certified physician’s assistant Julie Strohsahl are both very patient and compassionate and ask in depth questions to better understand the reason for our visits and the symptoms we are having.
The from desk staff is very pleasant. I have also had to call and speak to the nurse on a few occasions and she was helpful in getting me the results of blood work and providing other specialty doctors with the information I requested.

I love Dr Katrappa! I’ve been coming here for less than a year. Without going into my personal health issues I was in need of an understanding doctor that I could go to on a regular basis.
This lady is soooo smart! She always thoroughly explains everything to me!!! She uses diagrams and charts and tells you exactly what is going on inside your body.
Also she is not a drug pusher. She gives you exercises and stretches to help alleviate the pain rather than just give you a pill :) I love her.
She is compassionate and understanding. The first time I went I felt like she was reading my mind I was so relieved I started to cry and she handed me a tissue and told me I was going to be okay!
Going to the doctor is not fun. Especially when you have to go on a regular basis but when you have a doctor who is compassionate and explains everything, makes going through the process much easier :)

Dr. K is outstanding… very friendly and informative. She does not appear to over-​treat every symptom and makes me feel really comfortable. Definitely a good choice if you need a new family doctor.
