I like Dr. Sachdeva as a person, but she does not have very good bedside manners. Plus, the wait in her office is HORRIBLE. I NEVER see her on time. NEVER. Even if I take the first appointment of the day. She one time came walking in the office 30 minutes AFTER my appointment time. I thought she was in the back the whole time and she wasn't even there. I have called to talk to her, and I NEVER get to. About anything. I am told she will call me back and never does. I was told to take the wrong medicine by her office staff because her staff couldn't be bothered to ask her what I should take despite being told by me that I have high blood pressure. I felt awful that day and quite possibly could have had a stroke due to the medicine. I am looking to change doctors in the very near future. I wouldn't go to her if you can help it.

Pretty bad - always late, spends as little time as possible, does not take time to answer the questions.

Me and My two children goes to see Miss Shabnam. I have found she is very accessible, if kids are sick she just calls us right away, yes this type of call makes us wait a little bit, but even that wait has been never more than 30 minutes. The most important thing I admire is her clinical sense, Unless some thing really required she never sends us to specialist or for an unnecessary Lab work. I am very happy with her.

She's the most efficient doctor I've seen, she's very accessible and she recognizes all her patients. Her staff is a lot better now so the overall experience is positive. Keep it up, Dr. Sachdeva!

She was very insensitive and always seems annoyed when I asked too many questions or didn't understand an explanation. She needs to be more compassionate. She breaks bad news to you as if she's telling you that you have a common cold. In addition, I could never get an appointment when I wanted. When I did have an appointment, I still had to wait 30 min to 1 hour after my scheduled time. This is true for many doctors but some of the other people who rated this doc was not truthful in that sense either.

I just started seeing Dr. Sachdeva for a general checkup, and she was great. In just 2 office visits, she gave me a full physical, cancer screening, updated shots, conducted a heart echocardiogram, and removed 2 moles and a sebaceous cyst. She's fantastic. Office staff is great too.

Dr. Sachdeva has been the docotor to both of my sons, one 4 and the second one who will turn 2 in September. She treats them like a mother when we go to her, she takes the time to chat with my 4 year old eventhough he does tend to talk a lot. Every time something has been worng with them and I have taken them to Dr. Sachdeva, after the first dose of her medication they have felt great. She asks me about my 2 year old and how he communicates and if he can put words together, that is because she cares so deeply about them not because she wants to shock us with some bad news. She is one of the greatest family doctors that I have know in my entire life and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. Not too many doctors these days stay in office unitl 9pm every day for their patients and work on Saturday's to provide services. She is simply the BEST!

I moved to California not too long ago, now I am looking for a PCP just like her, she is the best Doctor I have ever been to. If you ever move to Fairfax area in Virginia, I highly recommend her.
