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.

Amazing Rheumatologist
Dr Aggarwal literally saved my life! She diagnosed me with an unusual autoimmune disease that has she not found, could have caused blindness or death. She is very professional. Patient and thorough. I highly recommend her for a fine suffering with issues needing rheumatology care. She is the best!

My review about Dr. Aggarwal
I am very satisfied with Dr. Aggarwal. I have been a patient of hers for many years. She always has the time to explain to me about my condition. She is very thorough when answering my questions. She has made good recommendations for a program that is beneficial for me for my arthritis. The staff is friendly and very helpful. I would definitely recommend Dr. Aggarwal to any new patient.

Rude & unprofessional
Telehealth
I had 2 appointments with Dr Aggarwal. Both were the worst experiences I’ve ever had with an MD. She kept talking over me or cut me off and said I didn’t have symptoms that I was clearly experiencing. She seem to show no empathy about my joint pain I struggled with in my hands. I asked if I could please do bloodwork because I wanted to be certain due to family history of autoimmune disorders. She was very dismissive and said “there was nothing she could do for me”. When I wanted to schedule a follow up because I was desperate to be seen because my hands were getting worse I scheduled this time on a zoom call she started out the appointment with “what do you want”. I’ve never written any review regarding a bad experience I’ve had with any doctor. but, this was truly one of most eye opening experiences I’ve had about patient care and how some doctors simply don’t care.

I made an appointment with her because she had immediate availability, I now know why she had availability. Do yourself a favor and wait for a good doctor. It turns out I don't even have the condition she diagnosed me with.

I am a satisfied patient!
Dr. Aggawar has always been friendly, patient, prompt, professional, and good listener. She answers all my questions. Her staff has always been friendly and very helpful. They accommodate my busy school schedules since I can’t be that flexible. I appreciate all that they have been able to assist me with.

I recommend Dr. Aggarwal
I have been a patient of Dr. Aggarwal for several yearsShe is a good listener, very patient, and very knowledgeableShe takes the time to listen and thoroughly answer. Any questions I have had.Her demeanor is kind, friendly, and interested. Also, I have found her staff to be very helpful and responsive and have had no problems with billing or requests to contact insurance providers, if there is any kind of an issue. Her staff will follow up when necessaryI have had both in person and telehealth visitsI had in person Visits when my condition was severe, and we switched to telehealth visits to monitor progress after my severe symptoms had resolved

Unprofessional, rude, dismissive
The very first visit I had, she was condescending and kept saying she was almost certain I didn't have the autoimmune disorder I ended up having, which the bloodwork definitively showed. She didn't acknowledge she was wrong, just said, 'Yeah, so you have it.' Any questions outside her specific medical knowledge (secondary issues about how the disorder might impact mental health, or anything secondary to the disorder) she was dismissive about, and spoke with dismissive authority, and was often wrong. I learned not to trust her beyond the most basic treatment. She's now charging a membership fee, which I find ridiculous for how quickly and with how little kindness she expresses when she shuffles patients through her office in under 5 minutes. I wholeheartedly advise finding anyone else, and I'm happy to look for another doctor.

Absolutely the WORST front desk patient/customer service I have ever experienced. Arrogant, entitled and largely ignorant regarding proper insurance protocols. A reminder that these clerical positions require no skill or education. Avoid.

Tax Paying Patient – Jan 19, 2024

Dismissive and Rude
Dr. Aggarwal does not care about patients. I’m young and I’ve been having extreme joint and muscle pains for months now and she dismissed every single symptom I was having, claiming they’re all unrelated or not her problem. I would not recommend her under any circumstances. She was not helpful and extremely unsympathetic.

Dismissive, rude, and rolling eyes
This place was able to see me in short notice which was nice given that fact that I've been trying to get too the root cause of some serious inflammation, pain and various other residual issues. So I saw Dr. Ishita Aggarwal since I was able to get in within a week. However, I honestly would run for the hills and never go to this practice yet along see this doctor. She was extremely dismissive and rolling her eyes at every symptom I was explaining. She didn't ask questions, she had literal to interest and rather rude. I've only every experienced this one time about 7 years ago in the city for another practice but this is next level. I was explaining areas of inflammation expecting her to examine and get to the root but she told me I don't have this condition and that it may not even be existing. I have a couple do chronic conditions that were diagnosed by two great doctors in the city (all highly recommended doctors). And for her to dismiss and truthfully say I am not in pain was down r
