I have been a patient with Dr. Patwardhan since 2005, when I went for my USCIS medical exam for my green card. Looking at the numbers from the tests, I realized I was not in good health. Dr Patwardhan took a holistic approach to addressing this problem. What that meant was an approach that went beyond prescribing medications and periodically checking the numbers and included several lifestyle, nutrition and diet changes. Steadily my numbers improved and I came back to good health, and I've seen the impact of the changes she recommended. I like Dr Patwardhan's style - always kind, polite and listening - but also straightforward and willing to go beyond the confines of medication and prescriptions to give good advice. I'm really grateful to her for helping me get my health back. I can see why administrative efficiency, billing, waiting time and other non-clinical aspects are also important for a physician or a clinic, but in my opinion, they dwarf in significance when compared with the quality of care and the skill of the physician. Having said that I have not had a negative experience with Dr Patwardhan's staff in my 12 years of interactions. read more

Going to Dr. Manjul since 2014-2016 and again 2022- till now. She helped me a lot with diabetes control with diet, no GLP meds. Her referrals to other doctors and surgeons also turned out good. read more

Dr. Patwardhan has been my husband's and my primary doctor for over 20 years. She has been always kind and ready to offer any health related advice and recommendations. Her preventative care and encouragement of proactive life style on exercises and diets have helped us avoid many pitfalls. All her staff members are professional and helpful. If you want a physician who is genuine and takes care of all your primary health needs, look no further, Dr. Manjur Patwardhan is the one! read more

This doctor does not really care about you. I had an accident and had a concussion and then I visited Dr Patwardhan. She asked me to get an MRI done but didn't give me an urgent referral for MRI or for visiting the neurologist. I had to wait weeks to get an MRI and I had to call several places up to get an appointment. My head was still hurting so I asked her if I could get an urgent referral to see a neurologist as I was getting an appointment for September 2023. She straight up said "No" and my pain was getting unbearable. Finally she gave me a referral after a lot of back and forth. When one is in pain it's the PCP's responsibility to make their patient's life less stressful. She's only in office 3 - 4 days and it's very very hard to reach her. She's not only rude and insensitive but when I asked her who I should contact when she's busy specially in my condition, her answer was "just go to urgent care." I do not recommend anyone to go to her. read more

This review doesn't reflect the Doctor's practice, but rather the business' operations. I just called today to request my mother's prescription so she can get some physical therapy treatment at a referred location for her foot. So it's 12:48pm, after giving all of the information as far as where to fax it to, confirming her first and last name, birth date, body part etc. Mari- or however you spell it- straight up tells me that they're on lunch and they'll do it later. FIRST OF ALL, if you're on lunch, don't eat at the desk near the telephones, nor answer it in false hopes that you're going to help a client- it's common sense. Second of all, i suggest fixing their front office's attitudes because they're heavily reliant on creating the kind of setting for their current/future/returning clients. Unfriendly office folks, makes you want to change doctors. read more

Dr. Patwardhan has been my family doctor for more than 15 years. She is very professional and she treats me like a close person, not just like another visitor. She remembers all my history and has helped me and my family in different situations. I really appreciate her professionalism and I am very thankful to her. read more

This is a doctor whose sole purpose seems to be to make money off of her patients. We had a trip planned for Kenya and they country required us to have Yellow Fever Vaccination done prior to the trip. We contacted this doctor's office and were told that we need to first set up a travel consultation with the doctor before we can talk any further. Fine, we set up a travel consultation for both of us, only to know that the clinic does not provide Yellow Fever Vaccination. The doctor did recommend in her consultation that we should take Yellow Fever Consultation (and Typhoid) prior to the trip. She gave us a referral for another doctor in Mountain View who can do the vaccination, only that the other doctor needs another consultation or a doctor's prescription before they can give us the vaccination. And now, Dr Manjul Patwardhan tells us that she cannot write us a prescription for Yellow Fever Vaccination because her office does not provide for the same. What sort of a crap clinic is she running ? She had my insurance money once, but definitely not getting ever again in my life. And she gets bad recommendation to all my friends (email follows). - Adhyas read more

I got Dr Patwardhans recommendation as I was looking for a primary care physician in the area. She might be a good dr but a horrible office experience. Long waits, they don't respect other people's time, office does not take or return calls even from pharmacy when medications due for refil. I give the low stars only from my experience with the office and not particularly for the dr. There is no way to speak to speak with the dr or contact her if you have health questions which necessarily does not require an office visit. The office is not courteous enough to check voicemails and call back in which case either your problem is solved or you find yourself dragged to the dr office. She needs to have a better office practice. read more

Dr Manjul Patwrdhan, has been our Family Physician since 2003. Doctor and Staff all are very nice and hard working team. Many times, they able to accommodate last minute requests. We never had any issue with any of their service like; billing, call back for reports,, All the Best .. read more

Dr. Patwardhan is not only a very kind and compassionate human being but an expert doctor. She really knows her work. She diagnosed something was wrong with me by just examining my belly in my routine physical exam. And I really had a 15.5 cm big Ovarian cyst (which is really big for its kind). Her timely diagnosis and expertise saved me from going through any unpleasant events. Another time, Dr. Patwardhan diagnosed my mom's issue of lack of iron which had caused her many unwanted health issues, by just listening to her concerns patiently. Lack of iron was later confirmed by blood report and iron tabs have been improving my mom's health issues steadily. Truly grateful to know her. Have been going to her since last 4.5 years. STAFF: Also, for people talking about staff issues - please understand they are also human beings and trying to do their best. I have seen Dr. Patwardhan's staff grow into a very organized and well functioning team over years. Few things here and there can happen as they are also human beings. Put yourself in their shoes and think. I like the new feature that you can text the staff for appointments or any needs and their response is generally very quick. read more

neg 5 star Dr .pat =total waste of time . Pat your self in the back for not being her patient yet. Your are fine with her as long as every thing is fine with you. In which case you don't need a doctor.. Mistakes like not diagnosing a condition correctly are all growing phases In a doctors carrier for which I am tolerable with limits. An attitude that says - "Your health problem is not my concern ..I got my fee for your last / current visit and I am done.." This is attitude is some thing I can't tolerate.. There is no room for this attitude at any stage In a doctors carrier A doc is expected to be kind ,brilliant and caring . I continues to stay with her ,I gave myself 3 yr to change my own opinion about her but it showed up each time I visited her or interacted with her office. There are enough review in yelp from where she can learn and change and work on - no ,no sign of improvement because that's what she is .she just doesn't care. * cant call or talk to the doctor with question next day after meeting with her on a appointment , it could be for you or for your sick child.. Have you ever hear of any doctor not talking or returning a patients call in the. US...? *u requested a copy of my test results either by post or email (while still a patient )- they don't do it.you have to go and get it yourself .Because their time is precious and not ours.A doctor on the other ,that I use to consult 10 years back at Losgatos for my kid (I moved city and changed doctors) , I call their office and ask for test result and the doctor calls back , email, and mails the result.This was a doctor I was seeing 10 years back and not a his patent any more . Go to doctors like him. * I suffered from a infection for which I needed to see Gynec. She refered me to couple of doctors .i called them and didn't get an appointment. i called this ladies office , told them the fact and that I was suffering and requested them to help me with an appointment with any Gynec they knew .. I was left in the air like my condition is no ones business..primary care physicians don't do this to their patients.. *----- *------ This person need to join a big hospital and work as junior under supervision of a senior doctor for few years and then may be start her own clinic. and to u guys out there -! You know what to do now.. read more

I wish there was an option for 0 stars. I used to see Dr. Patwardhan back in high school for the plethora of injuries I sustained and for regular checkups, along with my family. However, as time went on, we started realizing that a lot of her suggestions were made with the sole purpose of getting more money, whether it be from insurance or from the patients themselves. So we stopped going, but that happened to be the time around which I went off to college and all of my medical needs were taken care of at the Student Health Center. Now, I've recently come back home after graduating, and a few weeks ago, noticed an abnormality within my larynx. Not really remembering the practices of this doctor, and being the only one I could remember, I made an appointment to see her. I actually didn't have to wait too long in the waiting room either, despite the fact that I had arrived pretty early. That was lovely. At the time. Now, looking back in retrospect, I'm not surprised at all. I met with the doctor for a total of 5-10 minutes. In which she told me that I did indeed have the abnormality that I saw myself. And that was that. She gave me another doctor's name to schedule an appointment with to delve deeper. A few weeks later, I get the bill. Now, I was told that my insurance would cover part of the visit. Guess what, it didn't. And the total amount? More than 100. For, at most, 10 minutes of the doctor's time, to tell me exactly what I had told her. I'm looking for a new doctor to visit now. And if you're looking for one, keep looking. You do not want to come here. Not worth. read more

I went to this doctor. They told me my cholesterol level was at 399.... Im a 27 year old female. I asked her for prescription or something to lower my cholesterol and all she said was come back and six weeks after diet and exercise. I went to a different doctor two days later and my cholesterol was at 145. She is a bariatric doctor so she wanted to collect insurance and have me come in every couple of weeks to track my "diet". SCAM. read more

Extremely unprofessional and does not call back her patient even in an emergency. One word - If you value your health avoid her. read more

I was tricked into paying $$$ for a diet plan that I did not ask for when I went for an annual checkup and follow-up. And if it works, the front office staff should have lost 100 pounds by now. read more

I am surprised to read the negative reviews about Dr Patwarthan. We(both myself and my husband) have been seeing her for the last 3 years. She is very professional. The office looks clean always and she updates equipments when new ones arrive. Also, the staff there are very friendly too.She runs the facility by herself, what i mean is, it is not run by group of doctors just her. It is very easy to get appointments and they are very flexible too. The dr always answer all our questions sincerely. A friend of mine referred me and i will definitely refer her to my friends. read more

I have been to many general doctors throughout my life. Most of them are pretty good and a few bad ones. Dr. P is definitely one of the better ones. She is easy to speak with and runs a very efficient operation. She stays current on new trends in medical treatment and makes sure that her patients are aware of them. I have never had difficulty in making appointments to see her. She does close at 3 so I think it's okay if she wants to go home. She also has Saturday morning appointments which not many docs have. Her fees are actually at the lower end of the spectrum for the area. I think she is an excellent doc. read more

Not the most efficient front office, and not affiliated with a hospital, but the Dr herself is really nice. My family -- parents, and myself have been going to her for 6-7 years. They are really flexible with appointment times, and she does take a lot of time to talk to my mom, answering every question she has about medications etc. And even taking the time to persuade her to stick with a course of treatment. What I found inconvenient, vs say my PAMF physicians who are pediatricians etc from a big group is that when she is on vacation, her subs are not always that great. Last year though she did have a nice sub. Guess the situation is worse at Kaiser etc though when I could not get the same doc two times in a row. and PAMF too, when I used them for family medicine the women physicians quit for maternity leave and then never came back to the practice more than a couple of times. She does not have hospital privileges, so when my mom or dad was hospitalized they had to switch to a hospital based internist which is not great, but she has always called back, and co-ordinated great with other physicians. I think the issue with no call backs etc is that over the years I've found that when she is away for a month at a time on vacation etc. the coverage had not been great, and must have been even worse after hours. read more

Very Painful expierence.. I went today for my immigration related checkup, the whole office was working like a assembly line shop. She did physical checkup for 3 of us in 3 minutes !!!! apparently it was just for policy sake, and no real checkup done. My front office person does not check the records properly, she made me run several times to tell what was missing, what needs to be get done etc .. i had to do it patiently as i had to finish it anyway. The front office helpers pissed me offf... read more

The doctor is okay.. She failed to diagnose the problem despite visiting more than once..But that's not the worst part.. They quoted me $125 for the 1st visit and $95 for subsequent visits. And charged my credit card even when I had the health insurance.. They promised to pay back after they get the reimbursement back from the insurance company.. But after getting money from insurance, they changed their original quotation..And paid back only half the money they owed me.. And the front desk person was very rude when asked for an explanation.. They were not really honest.. I wouldn't recommend this doctor.. And if you don't have a choice, be sure to ask upfront how much they charge.. read more

I recently visited Dr.Manjul and was really pleased with her approach to my case. She took time to answer my questions and educate me about issues that I am facing and also put a lot of my doubts to rest. I am impressed. read more

I went for green card medical certificate and she delayed it by referring to local hospital by referring a possible TB case. it cost me significant in time and money and will not suggest ANYONE to go for green card purpose medical exam. She is not knowledgeable enough. read more

I have been going to Dr. Patwardhan for several years for routine checkups, flu shots and the like and I recommend her highly. The front office is friendly and accommodating. Dr Patwardhan herself is pretty knowledgeable for the stuff I need and takes the time to talk to you and offer advice. I did go on a diet plan with her and lost a decent amount of weight over 3-4 months. She has Saturday appointments which work great for me. Contrary to some other comments, she did call me back off hours when I had a small emergency, talked me through the options and gave me a referral to a specialist over the weekend. As a general practitioner, she is very good for me & has my recommendation read more

Will give Double thumbs up for Dr.Patwardhan. Recently husband was down with Viral fever like symptoms stretching over 2 weeks with heavy cough and as Doctor was on vacation, kept going to Urgent care and Emergency, everytime returning with no hope of cure. The day Doctor came back, office accomodated us immediately as soon as i called!! Doctor changed our prescription and adviced Hospital admission on the next day follow-up and we found it was a rare case of pneumonia. Through out our stay in Hospital, Doctor was in touch with us when ever we emailed her and she was guiding us in the right direction. What i want to highlight is that, we were in same ER with out a 'note' from Doctor and there, we were seen by a physician assistant and were told, viral infections sometimes take more than 2 weeks to heal etc... It was only Dr.P who diagnosed that the pulse-oxy numbers were not correct and insisted that we were given oxygen and pulmonary specialist opinion. I am living in Sunnyvale for 17 years with 2 kids and have gone through many more medical situations, but this one really made me "Thank" our "Good" stars for having a trustworthy PCP who is concerned about our health as if a family member will do! read more

Horrible experience. She has the worst staff rude and incapable. They have never been able to take my EKG till date( have been going for physical Examination for past few years and never the technicaian have succesfully done it. Recently had elevated readings in some blood test, she didnt even care to tell me the details. I came back and searched up online and figured one medicine I take ( which I always tell them I take during their examination) can be dangerous . Then I called her office, They were relunctant to have the dr call me bask saying she is too busy. Then I being a non medico asked I am not supposed to take this medicine can u ask dr .Then the front desk started giving me lectures on medially what should be done and not. How frustrating , I need an alternating pain killer as at that time I was having horrible pain and when she asked the dr, the dr said ask her to take an appointment. And I already had a 3 hour long appointment with here just 1 day back! She faulted in telling not warning me about my blood test and then when I questioned here she wants me to come again so that she can charge the insurance again. money suckers! Very inexperienced doc with a horrible cheap staff read more

I wish I can give 0 stars. My experience is from over 10 years ago. This doctor misdiagnosed a simple weight loss as a cancer situation. I would recommend her to no-one. read more

Dr Patwardhan is one of the horrific service provider. Knows only to rip you off, by selling her weight management program. She has no intenet and interest in understanding and addressing client problems. Most Indians especially women prefer Dr Patwardhan. But stay away unless you want to have poor service. She is expert at making mountain out of mole....beware.... read more

I went here for USCIS medicalexam process. Very greedy place. dont go here for this purpose. all they need is money, they have some tie up with the VRI for xrays, they made me do unwanted xray, though i had that same xray from Kaiser. it took me 5 tripsto doctors office to get the ducmentation ready . read more

I called up to take an appointment for my mother but the lady who picked phone was so rude to begin with. She didn't allow to complete my sentence and sounded as if they do not want any patients to come in. Hello? People pay for the visit, you are not doing any charity to show such attitude. Dr Manjul is listed as one of the doc on IMG Patriot travel insurance but she told me they do not accept travel insurance. Why don't they get themselves removed and save us from their rude attitude??? read more

Based on the other reviews about her being unprofessional, they are right. I had a blood test done to see whether I was anemic or not over six months ago. I would still like to know those results please. I changed doctors and had another blood test done and they had gotten back to me by the next day. Patwardhan ALSO started charging me the specialist price for a bit until we talked to our insurance and had that sorted out that she was just a family physician. She doesn't show much care to her patients so I'm soo glad that I changed doctors. If you haven't changed doctors yet do so and you'll probably be a lot happier off. read more

I wish i had read these reviews before i consulted Dr.Pat.I have not seen a more money- minded ,unprofessional doctor. 1)She does not attend to her patients over phone if u call up to ask about a particular medicine...Talk about high and mighty! 2).her staff often confuses follow-up visits to be "physical visits"It takes several phone calls to correct the confusion.. 3).If by chance you get the post-3pm appointments,be aware that she is getting ready to pack up and leave-she will not give you the time and attention you deserve and expect u'r regular doctor to give you. 4)She never tells you anything preventive-it is as if she wants u to keep falling sick and keep visiting her. 5)My husband also got the feeling that she wants you to join her bariatric programs as that seems to be her core competency...so although his readings were normal,she did try to force some more tests and diets on him.A second opinion confirmed that his readings were perfectly normal. seriously ,people if u want a good family doctor who genuinely wants u to get better-please find another doctor. when i was on the East coast-every doctor i went to made sure that his / her receptionist would call you the next day to ask if you were feeling better! now that is service!wish Ms. Pat and her minions would learn that from these reviews.I really really had expected better from this doc! read more

I've been coming to this office for more than 12 years. Amazing staff and the doctor is alway knowledgeable.

I have been seeing Dr Patwardhan, for many years now, throughout this time I have found her recommendations , diagnosis and treatments highly accurate and effective. In my opinion she is a top notch physician and I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a primary care physician. read more

Dr Patwardhan is my family doctor. We have always had very good experience with her. She spends enough time with us and answers all the questions patiently. When we went to her for USCIS medical exam she gave us discount because we were existing patients. When I went back to collect my paperwork she went over the paperwork with me and noticed a mistake I had made while filling the form. She was actually on her way out and her family was outside waiting for her in the car. But she stayed back until I completed the form and then redid the paperwork so that I did not have to go back. I was totally impressed! read more

Good thing: you get appointment faster & most of the time her medicines has worked really well for me. 1 star extra because she personally called me to address one concern I had :reg maintaining patients health history read more

I would definitely NOT recommend this doctor to anyone who is looking for a compassionate, responsible family doctor. Even though our family was referred to Dr. Patwardhan by a trusted physician & colleague, she took SO LITTLE time to discuss the issue that we were facing that I was stunned. It was evident in her manner that she did not want to WASTE her time advising a prospective new patient. It's amazing that she considers her practice a 'family practice'. Trust me -- this is NOT a doctor you want to see. read more
