Sachdeva Kulveen MD

Dr. Sachdeva is competent and thorough. I sought her help because I needed some paperwork completed, and she took the time to do all of the research required before completing it. She looked over all of my medical records, and took into account the medical examinations/​evaluations she had performed on me. She took her job seriously, and I really appreciate that! Also, if you don’t have insurance that covers neurology, she is pretty economical. If you are looking for a doctor who really listens to her patients, then visit Dr. Sachdeva!

I have only seen Dr. Sachdeva once so far, so I really can’t say much about her competency or care. However, I have had multiple interactions with her staff regarding medical records and prescriptions and I am baffled by the negative interactions I have had every time. Their communication has been consistently horrible and apathetic. Even worse, when I told one front desk person what had been previously told to me by a different employee, she denied anyone would have given me that information. I am considering looking for a new neurologist.

Dr. Sachdeva is so patient and listened to me with utmost care and took notes during the process. I had been to several doctors before her, and no one was this thorough in determining the root cause of the issue. She followed up with me on my results and is very detail oriented while explaining the findings.
An amazing neurologist and a GEM!!!

Hello everyone.
This write up is one that will hopefully help everyone who reads it. I have been seeing Dr S for over ten years. I am in a wheelchair and as you can imagine I have many many issues. Dr S as I call her, has helped me with such thoroughness and detail that I don’t even see from my primary physician. I joke with her that I wish she could be my general doctor too.
Anyone going to see her will get a thorough evaluation, and full on effort to help you with your complaints. She never stops trying !!
There has been a change in her office staff recently. I met the new staff. Efficient and competent.

I do feel she listens but my condition has not improved much. I want her to be more proactive. I am sure most of her patients are in worse shape. But my condition is important to ME. My complaint is with her staff. Unfriendly, uncaring, unresponsive. Don’t think she realizes it. I have read comments about her staff from previous years that were very positive. Things have changed.

Very bad experience. The doctor goes with blind rules in her diagnosis. Do not want to use her brain. Rooms were stinking, I could not stay in there even for a minute, and had to open the door to get some fresh air. Staff was way too rude. Like owner like employees,

Very satisfied with the thoroughness of my evaluation by this doctor. She has a very clear way to explain what I need to understand. I have a chronic neurological problem and will need to be seeking her on a long term basis. Whether I am in the office or have a quick question on the phone, she and her staff are most responsive.
I have full confidence in her medical knowledge. She keeps up with the new literature as well. The best part is that she has a great sense of humor.
Absolutely recommend this doctor with FULL FIVE STARS !!

I have been seeing Dr. Sachdeva now since we moved here 15 years ago. She has literally saved my life. I have a condition called Essential Tremor — tremors of my head, voice and upper extremities. When we moved here from the northeast I was 43 y.o. and had been dealing with this for 13 yrs., emotionally I was a mess. This MD through meds. & therapy referral brought me from house bound back to my profession of nursing! I had seen many neurologists, but she was the only one that was able to turn my life around like this! We are moving this year and I know that I will never be able to find anyone close to her ever again. She truly is WONDERFUL!

I agree with the reviews here. Great doctor!

This doctor does things that many doctors don’t — 1. SHE LISTENS — and not just for their obligatory 90 seconds — but for as long as you need to explain what is going on — on your terms, in your language. 2. SHE CARES. I don’t mean cursorily — she really truly cares about what is now happening in your life due to what the diagnosis is. 3. SHE’S CURIOUS, i.e. SHE INVESTIGATES — she never assumes she knows what’s what. She PROVES HER DIAGNOSIS to herself with tests and data. 4. SHE GETS RIGHT TO THE POINT. One does not need to guess what she may be implying — she is matter of fact and to the point. You KNOW what you must know and you KNOW what your roll is in the problem.
My husband has been changing before my eyes and ears and no doctor would listen to him or to me. We went to 2 primary care physicians, 1 neurologist, one speech therapist and I finally said enough! I took him to Dr. Sachdeva (because she had taken care of me after a bicycle crash and concussion). She grasped the bull by the horns so to speak, and conducted many tests, always questioning, not being afraid to say hmmm… I don’t know, let’s try this. hmmm, looks like xyz, let’s test for this etc etc.
We have a diagnosis. We have a plan. We have progress. Our diagnosis is life shattering and life changing for us — Dr. Sachdeva understands this. She is amazing. She is compassionate.
BTW, everything you read below about her office staff is true as well. Jennifer must have had to pass Dr. Sachdeva’s compassionate, competence, efficiency tests because she is amazing as well. I feel a badly that I don’t remember the name of the other woman in the front office, but she is very efficient, flexible and compassionate also. If you have to go to a neurologist, you’ve got problems — but this place will give you the best possible care in the most compassionate manner.

It’s no surprise to me when I came in Unilocal today and saw the high ratings for Dr. Sachdeva. I’m here because I just came from her office and it was my second visit.
I was unfortunate enough to be hit a very high voltage (over 10,000 volts) electric shock through my arm and head, and very lucky to live through it.
It took some time to get scheduled as a new patient, yet you’ve got to expect this when you are trying to see an experienced doctor. Without question, she is well educated, experienced, and in demand.
Dr. Sachdeva was impressive from the first minute in her office. She understood the problem and consequences of nerve damage from such a large shock and immediately knew just what to do as well as explained the medical information in a very clear and concise way that I could understand. She took all the time needed to thoroughly evaluate the scope of the problem and perform the appropriate recommendations and procedures. No over-​selling or under-​selling. Just the right medical plan for the situation.
Today’s visit was just as great. There is no rush to get me out of the office although this visit was clearly delaying into her lunch time. By the time I left, I felt greatly relieved with her findings, advice, continued health plan, and other recommendations. I feel that I am on the road to recovery due to her.
Good doctors come in groups, and this one was highly recommended by my family physician who is also at the top of the charts.

Intuitive, present, thorough, thoughtful, and experienced. I hope you never need a neurologist, but I recommend Dr. Sachdeva. I have seen many doctors for what I originally thought was a neck injury from boxing and have a sense of how specialists operate. It’s not easy to find a doctor who will take great care with you in an industry that seems based upon numbers, money, and expedition of patients instead of a more human approach to health. Sachdeva is the real deal. Her staff is definitely busy, but they have a sense of humor about it.

Great place! I really like Dr. Sachdeva. She’s a real nice and easy going doctor and takes her time to explain everything and write out your progress. When I call in, the gal in the office, Jennifer, knows exactly who I am and doesn’t have to ask me a ton of questions about who I am, why I’m calling, what I want etc. It’s like they get to know their patients. SWEET!
She’s really busy, so make sure to get your appointments far in advance.
Yes, 5 stars for my neurologist.

Can’t believe I’m Unilocaling my neurologist but since someone else did it first, I don’t feel so dorky!
Dr. Sachdeva is a big part of my life since I have MS. This is my third neurologist (diagnosed when living in San Diego, then moved to New Jersey and now back here in the Bay Area), and she is by far my favorite.
She is very passionate about MS research and is totally up with the most current research and therapies. Not only does she focus on main stream therapy she also takes the time to look at additional and alternative therapy. Such as she had my Vitamin D levels taken and suggested I take D3 as research has shown people with MS have lower D3 levels and have a harder time absorbing it.
A lot of neurologists have ZERO personality. But Dr Sachdeva is very personable. She’s got a sense of humor and she really engages me when I’m there.
I was horrible about staying on my therapy (hey, if you had to inject yourself with a needle every other day, you’d «forget» to do it often too). So she made me come in monthly for awhile to ensure I was still taking my meds. She knows about all the meds and can give sound advice about which one to try and why.
She’s on top of the current research about the new oral pill hopefully coming out soon which would be AWESOME.
I know this is a lengthy and boring review for people without MS but finding a neurologist you trust is really hard and I want to assure anyone out there with MS or any other neurological disorder that Dr. Sachdeva is WONDERFUL.
I know Dr. Sachdeva will help me make the right choices and provide me with the best services possible while I live this life with MS.
My only complaint is that her wait time is usually 1 hour plus. It’s pretty annoying since my appointments are often under 10 minutes but since I only see her twice a year (knock on wood), I can deal with the wait.

Dr. Sacheva began seeing me following a bad accident were I was hit in a crosswalk by a car. She is professional and helpful. Due to her persistance I finally recieved a follow up MRI on my broken back. She also saw my mother (she is a Neurologist who also works with dementia and aging issues) and was so kind to my mother. She was also very helpful and sensitive in assisting me with working with my mothers dementia issues. She is a wonderful caring doctor.
