Shruti Bipinchandra Gandhi, MD

Dr. Gandhi has made us welcome at Kaiser. We were concerned with Kaiser since we had heard some bad stories. But meeting Dr. Gandhi and her approach to hear us about our health, ordering required tests and deciding no medication needed instead focus on healthy habits was very good.
We highly recommend Dr. Gandhi.

Very inexperienced doctor who has no clue what she is doing. She doesn’t understand the side effects or uses for the medications she writes nor has the knowledge to make a proper diagnosis.
Please avoid, she is neither caring nor sincere. Definitely not a person you would want as your doctor because of her lack of experience and knowledge.
She also tends to refer you to different departments without even trying to understand and advise what your symptoms could mean. Sort of like saying, oh you have an issue, go somewhere else, I’m not even going to try helping you.
Waist of time and money, especially when she fails to give you a proper diagnosis and you have to visit her again when your symptoms become worse.

I really like Dr. Gandhi. She has seen my husband and I for the last few years and she is one of the only people to take our medical concerns seriously. My husband finally got a nebulizer thanks to her, and she immediately ordered a scan of a lump I could feel near my ribcage. She is very polite and professional, and doesn’t waste time.

I find Dr. Gandhi to be courteous and warm, but I was disappointed that she dismissed my post-​partum SI joint pain as typical and didn’t refer me for physical therapy when I first brought it to her attention. Perhaps I should be disappointed with Kaiser or the state of postpartum medical care in the United States, but Dr. Gandhi was the face of it in this case.

UGH! Don’t choose her!
My one and only appointment with her was about 5 minutes long, which is alarming sine I was wanting to talk to her about possibly going on some anti-​depressants. She had me fill out the Kaiser Questionnaire thingy (it measures how depressed you are using numbers… weird…) and then said she was going to put me on Effexor. Little did I know that Effexor has some of the worst withdrawal symptoms in the SSRI family. She didn’t even refer me to the psych department (which I now know to be in contact with about any type of psych meds). She asked me nothing about my medical history or family history of mental health. Also, when I asked her if Effexor had any sexual side effects she said «no, I don’t think it should effect you in that way.» What?! Now I know that almost ALL anti-​depressant/​anxiety meds. effect your libido. Now I’m with an amazing doctor (Dr. Wulfstat) who immediately contacted the psych department and had me talk to them directly during my appointment with her. I was having major concerns because I felt the Effexor was making me feel «disconnected.» I am glad I have a responsible doctor now but I am still dealing with the withdrawal symptom of the Effexor Gandhi put me on WITHOUT any knowledge of the medication (obviously).
Bad bad bad. Beware!

The 1 star review must have caught Dr. Gandhi on a bad day. I went to see her and she was very courteous, answered all my questions patiently, took her time, and at the end made sure that I understood everything and had no more questions. Very nice lady, highly recommended.

Poor communication. Generally poor experience. Save your self the time and frustration, choose a different doctor.
