I used Dr. Sehdeva last year and I also got my sister to use her services this year. She's more than just a doctor!
Being an international patient, I had to call several doctors to explain my condition and why I needed to come to the US for the delivery. She was the only doctor who spoke with me personally and made me feel so welcome, even before I met her. I arrived the US at 36weeks and I enjoyed my few prenatal visits. I found her office and staff quite satisfactory. She was never too busy to attend to me within an hour.
Even when my baby was in distress, she handled my delivery very professionally. She remained extremely calm, which was so comforting. She came to see me the day after (Christmas day) with a gift for the baby!
Also being a self-pay patient, she helped me save so much money by giving me a good discount, admitting my ultrasounds and laboratory results from my country. She also asked the paediatrician and anaesthesiologist to give me huge discounts, based on her goodwill.

The experience with her makes you feel like having a baby every year. lol. I pray she remains strong and well to deliver more babies. God bless her.

Worst doctor’s experience of my life, and I had the misfortune of going to Sehdeva during a medical diagnosis and testing that unfortunately meant three visits to her sad excuse of an office. First of all, the office is dirty and disgusting. The wait was atrocious (30+ minutes in the waiting room and another 30+ in the patient room), the staff is unfriendly/unprofessional/lazy/rude, and I am absolutely appalled by the medical practices that occur in that office. First of all, having staff walk in and out of rooms where you are naked and changing is unacceptable. The fact this happened every time I was there only further added to that! The staff member who took my blood pressure announced my results in the hallway for everyone to overhear instead of giving me the privacy to discuss my medical condition in a closed room. When she saw the shock on my face considering I did not yet know my test had even produced abnormal results, she rudely responded with, “OH, you didn’t know?”

Receptionist very unfriendly, disinterested, unhelpful. Dr. Sehdeva is the same. I came in with a number of questions, and she answered with one-word answers, as if it were a burden and waste of her time. Facilities are old and appear unsanitary. I had to wait over an hour. She's my primary-care doctor, and getting a referral from her is a very difficult process. I am going to try to switch doctors.

This was by far the worst medical experience of my life. She could not get the speculum in me and made me curl into a ball to do it. She asked "are you a virgin" and then "have you had a baby" in the same breath. She answered her cell phone while doing my exam. She didn't understand my very common hormone disorder (PCOS). She had snapped at me when i didn't understand the question she asked me. She totally wrote my prescriptions for dosages that the medication doesn't come in. She tried to order extra blood tests that were pointless. I come from a family of medical professionals. They were all 100% horrified by my experience. And i bled for 2 days afterward.

Dr. Sehdeva herself was unhelpful in answering questions I had about different types of birth control and her examination was one of the more painful I've experienced. Her office staff is often unusually rude and dismissive; wait time is longer than what's convenient (about 45m-1hr). Twice now the doctor has had an emergency that has required rescheduling my appointment. Her waiting room is cramped, uncomfortable, noisy and needs more frequent cleaning.

I have seen her for the last two years and plan to see her again. She was fine. I thought she was friendly and answered all my questions. I haven't had to wait terribly long in her office. If you are older than twelve you know that you have to wait in a doctors office sometimes! Perhaps the person in front of you needed more care! Anyway, I like her. Her staff was good to me and gave me whatever I needed in a timely fashion.

She was awful. Very rude and even coughed without covering her mouth during our appt. when I asked specific questions about birth control she would simply hand me a new one with no explanation, when i asked another question she replies with " do whatever you want." Totally useless!

I made an appointment for 11:15am and was informed the doctor wouldn't be in until 12:30pm. Yeah, thanks I was only having trouble breathing, not a big deal at all. Screw that, I went to an Urgent Care Facility on Sepulveda and was fine within an hour. If you like dealing with incompetent clowns, this is the doctor for you!
