"Professional, Friendly, Competent" No one wants to have Parkinson's disease, but if you do, this doctor is a good choice. We have found her to be very sharp on the subject of neurological diseases. We asked quite a few questions, and she knew the answers right away. Clearly, she is an expert in the field. I guess that's why she wins all those awards. I noticed she again won the top Neurologist in the Bay Area award last year. The doctor recommended a certain imaging procedure to test dopamine levels in the brain. This is the best way to try to isolate Parkinson's. When we got the Dopamine results back, she was very encouraging, and immediately prescribed a particularly effective drug. We feel we are in good hands with this physician. read more

Updating my review 13 years later! I still adore Dr. Sachdeva and her entire staff. They are so kind and truly caring. Not only has Dr. Sachdeva still been managing my Multiple Sclerosis, but she has also recently been helping treat my migraines. Sylvia, her nurse, is also just so amazing! I know I can call them and they will have my best interest at heart. It's so hard to find a neurologist with a personality, but Dr. Sachdeva is like a doctor and a mom all rolled into one. She will empathize with you but also tell you how it is, in a way that is non threatening. She is the reason why I'm on Ocrevus and haven't had any new lesions in 3 years!!! Be prepared for long waits. It can be frustrating but once you are in the room with you her, you understand why. She truly takes the time to know you, and to talk to you. You will instantly forgot how long you waited once you start talking to her! read more

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE STAFF THE lady was extremely rude and unprofessional and hung up on me twice. how can i even see the doc if she can't speak like a human to patient who is not feeling well. office experience can't be commented on since this front office SUCKS!! read more

My husband started seeing Dr. Sachdeva when he was seeking treatment for cognitive impairment, which ended up being diagnosed as Alzheimer's. We have been seeing her for over a year and two weeks prior to having a stroke, she mentioned that his MRI showed he was primed for one and it happened. Since 9/11/23, we have been in and out of Stanford Hospital and Healthcare. I am so pleased at how she works with other medical staff to ensure that my husband has the best care. We trust her as our main neurologist and would recommend her to anyone! She has given her time, expert care and treatment plan and we appreciate all the improvments we have seen in my husband's overall health. The communication with her staff has also been excellent and the referral to the San Ramon Regional Speech Therapy has been excellent! read more

Dr. SachDeva is very competent and caring doctor. She is not afraid to order test to figure out a proper diagnosis. She listens. She took her time with me. I'm sure she does with all of her patients because she cares. I trust her immensely. God bless her and I hope she doesn't retire anytime soon. We need more good, caring doctors like her. read more

Dr. Sachdeva is kind, caring, and most off all, knowledgeable. My primary care doctor was unable to help me, but Dr. Sachdeva was able to diagnose me in one visit, and start me on medication right away. The follow-up blood tests confirmed her diagnosis. If it had gone untreated for very long, it likely would have become permanent. If you are looking for a highly experienced and expert neurologist, look no further. I am forever grateful to Dr. Sachdeva and her team for helping me when I most needed it. read more

Dr.Sachdeva is such a wonderful Dr. She is somebody that truly cares. It is no surprise that she wins so many awards. When you do things for the right reason, people see that and want to make sure they are in your care. Dr.Sachdeva takes her time in evaluating, listens with open ears, and provides the right path to what is needed for your certain situation. ( Sometimes people just need to be heard ) And this is a great place for that. Thank you Dr.S and staff for showing up to work every day helping and listening to the ones who walk through your doors. I wish I can give a 10-star rating. Keep being you! read more

I do not recommend this office to anyone. I husband was seen for memory issues. Following are the issues we encountered. - Dr. has very limited amount of time with patient (15 min max). Dr. seems in a hurry and stressed out most of the time. - Dr. didn't work hard to try to find root cause of issue. She handed out a diagnoses and medication without ruling out other causes. I had to ask about a PET scan, and her response was "she didn't think Medicare paid for it. " She asked if we really wanted to get the results of a PET, like we were afraid of the possible answer. Turns out Medicare did pay for it. - If you ask you can get very high-level handwritten recommendations after the visit, but that is about it. - there is no easy way to communicate with the dr. outside of the dr. appointment. She does not have an email address, and everything goes through her Medical Assistant (MA) who is not responsive and rude. The MA says she didn't get the email or wasn't in the office that day or you sent it to the wrong email address. But when you are on the line with her and resend her the request, somehow, she gets it. - there is no portal or easy way to get Dr. notes from visit - there is no way to provide feedback...I called Hills Physician, and they told me to call my insurance and provide feedback.... not a good process - there is no backup when the dr. is out of the office at a conference or on vacation - The Medical Assistant, Sylvia is incompetent, rude, and lied to me several times. It took 7 calls back and forth between her and the PET Scan clinic because she didn't provide the correct insurance code. When I would call her back and say the clinic said the code was still wrong she would get testy and rude. The clinic finally called her, gave her the right code. She then told me it was Medicare's fault because they changed the code. On another occasion, when blood work was ordered, she miscommunicated that the order was ready. My husband went to LabCorp and the order could not be executed until 3 months later. When I called her back and talked to her about her communication skills, she got very nasty with me and said she told me in a voice mail that she said it wasn't ready until Oct, but I had an inscription on my iPhone that recorded exactly what she said. When I called her on it, she then said my husband called the other office assistant told him and she told him, which was complete lie. This is shameful, playing on someone with memory issues to cover her own mistakes and incompetence. - In summary, we have had a very frustrating experience with this office. Not recommended to go to a single shingle doctor, with limited staff, difficulty in getting appointments, and getting to the root cause of the medical issue. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Sachdeva for a number of years for chronic migraine. She is caring and professional at all times. She always listens to me and answers all my questions. The front desk is top notch. read more

Terrible service. Front desk is rude, they don't help with brain issues and won't give a reason why even though doctor is a neurologist.

She is a miracle worker and an amazing person. My life went from a 4 to a 9 with her help and guidance. She's quick to refill prescriptions.

TERRIBLE receptionist. She made error after error with handling the referral and scheduling, and in the end I was not able to be seen. She was so rude and unapologetic and told me that I missed my appointment. I ended up walking out of the office in frustration. I never got to see the doctor. read more

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. read more

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!!! read more

I was referred to Dr. Sachdeva by a friend and by researching her on Yelp and other reviews. Shes great! She explains everything into a language you will understand. She up-to-date with meds and what are current treatments. I cannot say enough about this doctor. Definitely would recommend her. Office staff is also professional and easy to talk to. I live in San Joaquin County and the drive to San Ramon to see her is worth the drive. If there were more than 5 stars I would have maxed it. read more

Dr. Sachdeva is one of the best doctors I've seen. She makes you feel comfortable and really listens to everything you have to say. I rate my experience 10/10 and would recommend anyone to see her. I get anxiety speaking to doctors sometimes and Dr. Kulveen is easy to talk to and really listens to every little thing I had to say. read more

Still *****. I love my neurologist! Dr. Sachdeva has been amazing with me. I'm not a fan of any sort of meds and she has been patient and helpful in recommendations and suggestions. She listens intently and takes a good amount of time in every appointment. I'm flabbergasted if I didn't already send this since I've been seeing Dr. Sachdeva for a year now. read more

During a difficult and scary time, Dr. Sachdeva was a calming and reassuring voice. Her work ethic and bedside manner was amazing and went the extra steps to ensure I knew I was in the best care possible. I am blessed to have been pointed in her direction and am fully healed read more

She is a magical human being. Just like all the other reviews, I will say it again. She is incredibly patient, will not rush you, she will listen to all of my defenses and explaining, and then think before she responds. She has nothing negative to say, and only wants to help. When I say I don't like a particular medicine or method for a health issue, she looks for another way to help that better suits what I am OK with. She is the sweetest, and I highly recommend her! read more

Dr sachdeva is by far the best neurologist I've had. She is soo patient and kind and totally understands what I'm going thru. After i was diagnosed with bell's palsy i saw 4 different neurologist and did not like any of them until i met her. None of them were as compassionate and as empathetic as she is. She's literally the best! read more

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 !! read more

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. read more

i was in such a hurry trying to find a Neurologist i was Referred to this doctor from my PCP, From the moment i called to make my appointment to the day of my appointment i was very pleased. The office is amazing starting with the front office staff. They have candy all around the office which is a plus and you are welcomed a warm hello. When the Medical Assistant takes you to the back she has friendly Conversation that makes you forget all of your worries and stress. The doctor is The best she listens to everything you have to say and is very thorough. Its very hard to find a good Doctor who shows they care and aren't worried about just getting paid. She took her time with me. If i could give her 10 stars i would. Thank you Doctor and your wonderful Staff as well. read more

The receptionist was extremely rude and unhelpful. She was fake nice when she answered and then gave me attitude for no reason at all. She is the worst receptionist I have ever spoken with. read more

The office clerks of this doctor have no empathy and manners. So cold!

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. read more

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. read more

I first met Dr Sachdeva when I moved to the area in 1994. She and I were both young women with babies. :) i am a registered nurse who has worked with physicians for many years and I can say that she is one of the best! Smart, practical, and organized. She listens, gives sound advice, and never hurries. I see her once per year and love her! If you need a neurologist, she is the one!! Please remember if your wait time is long...she is giving everyone her time and doesn't hurry which is part of what makes her so special. Also, the few negative reviews do not match up with what I've experienced over the years. She has better front office staff now. Before the front office gal wasn't the best but she is gone now. read more

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! read more

I have Neuropathy in my feet. For me Dr Kulveen is THE BEST !!!

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! read more

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, read more

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. read more
