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.

Nice provider Not so great staff
I’ve seen Dr. Dhingra for years. She is a very nice provider, I don’t have direct complaints about her. That said, I’ve had multiple appts canceled without notification and that’s a problem. I used to recommend her but I can’t recommend her anymore because of that. Office staff can say and type whatever they want into a chart to make it look like they did their job. I can say for certain I was never notified. I’m now overdue for a yearly that I’m supposed to have due to being a high risk patient. As a provider she is kind and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, her staff is a current reflection of the hospital she works for, and I’m now looking elsewhere for continued care. Cancellations can and do happen. All women know that. But the least you can do is contact the patient and offer to reschedule their appointment after you’ve canceled that patient 3 times through no fault of the patient. It’s extremely inconsiderate.

Great Gynocologist
I highly recommend Dr Dhingra for all your gynecological needs. She and her staff are always pleasant, and eager to please. And if she ever needs to leave to deliver a baby, I am giving a call to reschedule. I highly recommend Dr Dhingra.

very uncomfortable visit.
I unfortunately decided it was time I part ways with Dr. Dhingra after a very humiliating experience. I was humiliated for my weight while naked on her exam table and told I should be on weight loss medication. Weight can most certainly be addressed but not while you are exposed and naked on an exam table while receiving a pelvic exam. I also did not feel any of my concerns were addressed. I had many questions, none of which I had the courage to verbalize as I fought tears back after being made to feel disgusting and terrible about myself. I am very disappointed as I have had pleasant experiences with her in the past. I hope nobody else ever leaves her office feeling the way I did. If you’re reading this Dr. Dhingra, I’d like to you know that I have lost almost 30lbs Since I saw you a month ago and I did it the natural way. The way I told you I had been working on it before you told me to get on medication. Thank you for showing me how to never make a patient feel.

Absolute worst doctor I have ever encountered. She routinely makes me wait for 30-45 minutes for a scheduled appointment, has terrible bedside manner, and has been incredibly insulting. She has been nothing but difficult to reach, rude, and insensitive.

Disappointed!! My visit with this doctor was absolutely horrible. All she cared about was to sell me to another doctor and I could see in her face she was made when I refused to go. She didn’t take the time to ask me what was the purpose of my visit and had no ambitions to listen to me. I would not recommend her to any loved one and would never see her again. I was very offended by the way she treated me and what she said to me, no compassion. I felt like I was at a dealership buying a car.
