Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great Experience
Dr. Gowda and his staff are amazing. Cozette did an excellent job at answering all my questions and made the whole experience a pleasant one.

I have been a patient of Dr Gowda's practice for over twenty years since he was on Bee Cave Road. It has deteriorated into a Patient Cash Mill. I was billed for a no-show on a video call with a PA in the midst of COVID when I was ill. I asked to speak to Dr. Gowda, which was refused by his staff. I am Paying the bill and quitting his practice, which I told the staff - that is how much Dr. Gowda values patient loyalty. This is a 0 Star practice - take your money and run once you see a doctor, you will never see him again.

I really never saw the doctor as everything was being done via telemedicine. He got on the virtual appointment for about 2 minutes the first time and not at all the second time. So I didn't get the feeling that I even had an appointment with the doctor despite being charged for a full appointment. But the worst part is after a medical device was prescribed and picked up, I have never been able to get in touch with this office. I had some problems I needed to straighten out and three weeks later (with about 3 phone messages and one e-mail) I have not even received a call back. This ranks as about the worst experience I have had with getting a response. I know it will be blamed on Covid - but I think three weeks is more than enough time for response - especially when dealing with medical. And I promptly paid my medical bill. Needless to say, I have switched to a new medical provider at this point.

Never wait more than 5 minutes. Doctors are wonderful, especially Monique, takes time to really listen, never hurries through any appointment. Asks relevent questions, remembers personal details from previous appointments and offers lots of options for your treatment. Includes you in any decision on how to proceed. I think this is a wonderful place to address any sleep problems. Highly recommended. I’ve been seeing them for years and don’t plan on switching doctors anytime soon.
