Dr. Anish Pravin Pithadia, MD

Horribly rude. Came in with lumbar pain and Dr. Pithadia asked if I had taken anything prior to coming in. When I answered, “no”, his response was that his 6 year old child knows to take something before being seen by a doctor. That, among 3-4 other instances of similar rudeness to myself and his own Staff(!), was enough to motivate me to caution others against seeing him. See him if you like to be demeaned and belittled by a schoolyard bully masquerading as a Doctor.

Degrading, demeaning, belligerant. Women...stay far far away!

Dr. Pithadia is the best doctor I've ever had! I met him in the Urgent Care office when I needed a new doctor and he was so proactive and friendly I chose him as my regular doctor. He's very personal and friendly and thorough. They follow up on test results. He's controlled my blood pressure, cholesterol and pre-diabetes with medicines and a reduced-starch diet! And I can almost always get an appointment in the same week, same day if it's urgent, and he's always on time.

Dr. Pithadia is a great doctor. I met him at the Urgent Care office in the building where he works a couple days a week. I needed a doctor and I liked his friendly, proactive style. He's been the best doctor I've ever had. Turned around my blood pressure, cholesterol and pre-diabetes!

When I first came to Dr Pithadia he said that if I ever leave he would want to know the reasons I was leaving so here they are. I found Dr Pithadia very personable and friendly, he wanted me to change my whole family to his practice and explained he wanted to keep us all together in our family care. Since we have been very happy with our pediatrician we didn't switch the kids over right away - they are not quite 18 yet and since they were happy there I left them be for now. My husband switched to Dr Pithadia and didn't have any particular problem with him. The first time I had a problem was when I shared my weight loss idea with Dr Pithadia who had been encouraging me to lose weight. I told him I was going to try and go 100% sugar free (including fruit juice) and see how it improved my health and my weight. He said there is no point doing that if I am still going to eat other carbs (for example, rice) and don't come crying to him if I only lose a couple of pounds. I found this very arrogant but whatever - I did it and I did indeed lose 30 pounds in about three months, not even being very strict about anything apart from sugar. Anyway, my daughter needed a note for her school and her pediatrician wasn't in that day, so since Dr Pithadia had the after school appointment I took her along. She had actually been to him once before, also when the pediatrician had been out of the office (she seems to be semi retired). Anyway, as soon as he came into the office and we explained the situation he reused to write the note (for her late arrival at school - it fits in her schedule but she needs a doctor's note to avoid actually going to study hall, time she can spend sleeping which is good for her teenaged brain!), and said that its just life, she has to get over it. He said if she goes to college and has an early class he won't write a note then either - totally different situation as typically college is all about scheduling classes by yourself, and not having eight of them in a row with no lunch hour! Anyway that's when he offered to MEDICATE her for DEPRESSION, just five minutes after walking in and deciding that his word is gospel. He doesn't live with her, he's not even her primary doctor and suddenly he's sure that she has depression and I am somehow the unhinged mother taking her doctor shopping. I never should have taken her to a doctor who wasn't her primary care doctor. That part was on me. I also shouldn't have taken her to someone who has been arrogant to me in the past. I believe that America relies too heavily on doctors who rely too heavily on drugs. It is not the job of a doctor just to fix problems chemically, and I've heard of cases where medical drugs have led to drug abuse down the line. This is why I will not be returning to Dr Pithadia, who showed that he was willing and eager to prescribe a drug BEFORE any preventative action like giving her a little extra sleep in the morning, at a time she doesn't even have a class scheduled.

I've seen many Dr's in the past yr after my dx of heart failure. I can't say enough great things about Dr Pithadia, he isn't rushed and actually listens and is very thorough and caring.

Met him once liked his manner and approach. Immediately changed my primary care physician to him.

great doctor

Very nice and helpful. I would recommend him if you're looking for a PCP.

Dr Pithadia is Awesome!!! Great bedside manner and really cares. Very knowledgable!!!

Would NOT recommend this doctor - he is rude, uncaring, and disrespectful to his patients. He spent a total of 60 seconds with me making his diagnosis before sending me on my way. The staff gave me wrong medication the first round, prescribed a second medication that prompted an allergic reaction, and never once apologized or followed up. When I called back to ask some questions about why I was still symptomatic after the third round of medication I was met with arrogance, sarcasm, and rudeness by Dr. Pithadia.

I went to the walk-in clinic this morning and saw Dr. Pithadia. Instead of having a pleasant, helpful, understanding visit, I was reamed by this doctor. He was rude, condescending, and unwilling to sympathize with my situation. Instead, he spent the whole time listing all my previous visits and tests and implying that I'm wasting his time. I was told I was not going to be administered an antibiotic when I didn't even ask for an antibiotic. I just simply wanted to find out what was wrong with me and see what I could do to feel better. Going to him was a huge mistake, because I left feeling worse than when I came in.

I would never recommend going to this doctor. There is no comfort level with him and do not believe he has the best interest at heart. He is a very rude man with no sympathy and a very arrogant attitude. Don't waste your time or money on this doctor and go to someone who would take time to speak with you and help you understand what is going on rather than be talked down to.

I like the fact that he listens to what you have to say, explains things that you don't know, and gives you plenty of options with information on all of them. There is no pressure to "pick the right one" so you can do what you feel comfortable with and gives you the knowledge to know what to expect, what to look for, and what happens next. I liked him so much I changed my family over to him! I had some lab tests done and HE called me later that day to tell me the results...not his staff...so he could explain what it means. You just don't find that anymore!

He was not terribly understanding of my reservations of taking medications while breastfeeding. He felt it necessary to give me advice on what I should be feeding my baby and that I was breastfeeding too long. My child is just over a year old. Overall he was condescending and dismissive. I was not happy with my experience with him. The nurse that was there was very helpful.

Being a male near the age of 50 years old, I had been reluctant to connect with a primary care physician. But the timing was right and the need was there. Choosing Dr. Pithadia was a very good choice for me. He was very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. If I would have known there was a doctor out there like Dr. Pithadia I would have picked a doctor a lot sooner.

Their office sucks !! I had a bad back pain and when I called them they gave me appointment for a wrong date. I drove up there and found their office closed. When called they werent apologetic at all. Will never ever use them.

Great bedside manners...very through...loved his style!!!!
