    Going to try to condense my review: Front office staff unfriendly, have made several mistakes in my paperwork (accuracy is critical in the medical field ), Dr. has become rude and impatient with me lately, and has verbally abused my elderly mother and my adult nephew. Obvious to my family and me, he either needs help on controlling emotions or something is seriously wrong with him. The most recent verbal abuse/attack on my Mom was so bad I am going to file a complaint with the highest medical board as well as our insurance and leave him for good. No one should put up with his treament of patients!

    Doctor Wadhwa is a great doctor, very knowledgable but his staff is very uncompetent, very sad for such a great doctor.

    I have been with Dr. Wadhwa for years and it is high time I wrote a review. My own job gives me a great deal of insight into physician quality. Dr. Wadhwa is the best internist I have had. I would never change.

    I have been going to Dr. Wadwha since 2006. He has always had a rushed, impatient, and inconsiderate bedside manner. I have stuck with him as he always seemed as though he knew what was the best thing for me. His office squeezed me in for an appointment yesterday, which I was grateful for. I came prepared with questions regarding a negative reaction I had to some medication. The Dr. came into the room, didnt listen to a word I had to say, interrupted me in all my attempts at inquiry, told me the pain I had was in my head, prescribed me medication for a condition I hadn't even been tested for, and made me cry. He belittled my condition, told me he "gives up" when I said I wanted to wait to take the prescribed medication until I had results, and said he was not interested in working with other doctors on a team to figure out what's going on with me. All that said, I received a letter in the mail saying he would no longer be willing to provide me medical services. I do not recommend him!

    He has been my primary since he started up in El Segundo 20 years ago...No probs except for a few uncooperative front desk clerks over the years. Best thing about Dr Wadwha is if he's not sure about something he admits it and sends you to a specialist and gets all the test done, this is vvery important. I have had two potentially serious problems, one which required fixing a hole in my heart usually asymptomatic and cannot be diagnosed without specialized simple tests and another which turned out to be kidney cancer which was found after a routine CAT scan ordered to check what I had thought might have been a gall bladder prob. Both of these findings were discovered indirectly via referrals to specialists rather than guesswork based upon initial office visit. I commend Dr Wadwha for using his wisdom to direct me to the right specialists. Both conditions have been fixed since first dicovered using Torrance Memorial Hospital which I also have to highly commend.

    Dr. Wadhwa is so knowledgable, and has a great manner. He also knew more about my migraines than a specialist I saw. I swear by him and recommend him to others.

    I have been going to Dr Wadhwa for the last 4 years. At first he was really good at listening. But over the last 2 years he has become more impatient and lectured me on all things I already agreed with and already practiced - a healthy lifestyle. Today, I could not get the front office person to listen to my request. She talked over me and actually hung up on me twice. Something is going on with this office and I've lost confidence that this Dr is operating in my best interest.

    I posted on 2-7-13 about my mom in her 80s who injured her leg and Dr Wadhwa did nothing. The update, she is having surgery for a fractured hip. This Dr. failed to treat my moms standard care. He told her nothing is wrong. She believed in this Doctor and thought time will heal. If he took an x-ray. The pain she endured would have been over. Shame on him for treating my mom an 83Yr old with osteoprosis like this. I took her to another Dr. first thing they did was an x-ray BEWARE.. of Dr. Wadhwa...

    My mom is in her 80's and has been seeing Dr. Wadhwa for years. We went to see him because my mom had injured her leg and has been using a walker. She has osteoprosis and he did nothing for her. His assessment, compassion and listening skills are horrible. Be warned, this Dr is a disgrace to the Manhattan beach community.

    Dr. Wadhwa has been our family doctor for years taking care of my parents and my husband and me. He has always been very approachable, explains everything in terms we could understand and is very caring. He always has time for questions and does not rush on to the next patient making you feel cheated.
