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.

No patience for young anxious children.
Dr Luthera had no patience for a young child who has been diagnosed with anexity and is only seen once a year. She pulled down the pants and underwear of a child who was already extremely scared and upset with no warning or explanation. A pediatrician should be patient, understanding, compassionate, and helpful. Our visit was the furthest from that, now I have a child who is even more anxious and scared to see a doctor. Children deserve to be told what you are going to do to their bodies and why, not to be told a nurse would come to hold them down. Unbelievable.

COVID Denier
She dismissed the need for children to be vaccinated against COVID-19. And my spouse listened to the foolish doctor.Now one child is severely sick and another child shows symptoms.Sudipiti Luthra should lose her license.

Dr. Luthra has been both of my daughters pediatrician since birth. My oldest daughter aged out of the practice and my younger is still a patient. Could not say enough great things about her, we love her!

I’ve been going to schoolhouse pediatrics for years now, i’ve never ever had a problem with the doctors or nurses but this doctor talked to me disrespectfully, made me feel terrible about my weight and invalidated my mental health struggles. She was extremely callous and I struggled not to cry in the exam room. I will never be going back to schoolhouse pediatrics again & I am now finding a new doctor. This was overall a terrible experience and sunk me further into depression. I would also like to add that i’m a college student, so to hear an adult talk to me the way she did completely ruined my self esteem and the mental health progress I have made.

Been with Schoolhouse Rd for years. Dr. Luthra will waste any of your time for a simple well check or sick visit. She is clueless and will leave you searching for answers and questioning any and all treatment received. Parents be warned. Stay away from this provider.
