So, this review is mainly with me working with Dr. Qadir who's handling my mom's current overall health. I've been working with Dr. Qadir for the last few years since my mom got diagnosed with dementia, but before this mom was or seemed very happy with her. Anyways, Dr. Qadir and her staff at Stanford has always seemed to work with us at times, sometimes squeezing us in for a last minute appointment or just rescheduling in general. Her bedside manner has always been courteous and polite and it still brings a smile to my mom's face.

Other PA Marzia is also very kind and promptly will consult her before sending any Rx out. I love the office-highly recommend.

I have been honored and privileged to be Dr. Anuja Garg's patient for the past 5+ years. Dr. Garg…read morecontinually demonstrates the essence of what it means to be a doctor. Her many intellectual and personal strengths repeatedly enrich my life and the lives of my family. When I first met Dr. Garg, it was clear that I was meeting a uniquely dedicated individual. She has always impressed me with her well-developed sense of perspective and her insistence to cover every aspect of any problem I present to the maximum degree possible, rather than simply "covering the bases". A quality unmatched by her peers. Dr. Garg holds a level of excellence that other doctors may not need, but which serves Dr. Garg immensely well and which others would do well to emulate. Beyond Dr. Garg's considerable strengths as a doctor, I am struck by what I have observed from her spirit as a human being. She is kind, caring, and dedicated to her patients, but above all she possesses a manner of humility I've not witnessed from any doctor, ever. Dr. Garg's positive regard toward practically every person she interacts with is almost palpable, even from a distance. It is abundantly clear that she finds and draws strength from her connections to others, offering help, support, encouragement, and friendship with striking openness and warmth. She does this comfortably and readily across any axis of difference, building community with her fellow colleagues of different ages, races, cultures and language backgrounds. Dr. Garg's future, both professionally and beyond, is a bright one in which she and those who share the journey with her stand to benefit immensely. She possesses the ambition, self-knowledge, and habits of mind and spirit to steadfastly influence the lives of everyone she encounters, and I wholeheartedly recommend her as a physician to anyone in search of a truly fantastic doctor.

I accompanied my mother to her appointment with Dr. Rajesh Maheshwari today, and as a medical…read moreprovider myself, I was extremely disappointed and concerned by the interaction I personally witnessed. My mother came to discuss years of widespread pain and concerns about fibromyalgia, hoping to discuss evaluation and treatment options with her PCP. Dr. Rajesh Maheshwari was dismissive and condescending and repeatedly raised his voice while discussing her concerns. He repeatedly told her that fibromyalgia is "no longer a diagnosis," despite fibromyalgia being a recognized clinical diagnosis with established diagnostic criteria. When my mother also mentioned CRPS (complex regional pain syndrome), he appeared confused and unfamiliar with what she was referring to. What bothered me most was the way my mother was spoken to. She is a patient dealing with significant chronic pain who came to a physician she trusted looking for help. Instead, when she attempted to explain her symptoms and concerns, she was interrupted and spoken to in a loud, curt manner. His voice was loud enough that I was concerned others outside the room could hear discussion of her private medical information. Regardless of any disagreement about diagnosis or treatment, he needs to improve his bedside manner and the way he communicates with patients, especially those who are already dealing with chronic pain. The entire encounter lasted less than five minutes. Before coming in, his staff told us over the phone that she could come in to be evaluated for this concern. We spent the time and gas traveling to the appointment only to be told after arriving that this was not something he would diagnose or address. If a provider is unfamiliar with conditions such as fibromyalgia or CRPS or does not know how to manage them, the appropriate response is to further one's medical education, review the current literature, and/or refer the patient to someone with the necessary expertise not dismiss the condition or the patient suffering from it. My mother left upset and disappointed. It was especially ironic to hear that fibromyalgia is supposedly "no longer a diagnosis" while saying this directly in front of a medical provider who has seen patients in clinical practice who have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia recently.
