Dr Advani is knowledge and pushes overall health & healthy choices over prescriptions with awful side effects whenever possible. She is caring , friendly and most of all very effective , so she is therefore very understandably busy. I've been her patient for just over 3 years with continued amazing results. If you want results over conventionality run don't walk to this doctor.

Always too busy for her patients. Insulting at times. She has nervous energy and pushes you out. Likes to push her own vitamins when they have the same at the store for 1/4 the price. NO warmth here

Dr Advani is a high energy well informed doctor who uses a holistic approach to help her patients. In my case she was the first doctor to successfully bring my blood pressure under control.
In doing so she changed my meds which facilitated a 35 pound weight loss over nine months. This in turn improved my diabeties control which enabled her to reduce my diabeties drugs.
I am now taking half the drugs I was. I won't miss their accompanying side effects.
I look forward to losing some more weight and not needing any diabetic meds. With her help I am confident I can do it. I never felt better!

Dr. Advani did not show any kindness or caring or compassion to my daughter. My daughter has a challenging disability but I encourage her to learn how to represent herself and to ask questions if there is anything she didn't understand. Dr. Advani did not consider this factor even if she's aware of my daughter's disability. I ask her about the medication/"supplement she calls" , she wants my daughter to start but instead she responded in a way that she was being inconvenienced because she has to explain it twice. She did not ask to speak with me after my daughter requested to call me from the waiting room. She did not even discuss her blood work results but focused only on but one result, then recommended the supplement to purchase that she sells in her office. I will never take my daughter back to her office.

Dr. Advani has saved my life! My GP doctor gave up on me after many failed attempts to lower my blood sugar by oral medication. She sent me to an endocrinologist to put me on insulin. I couldn't get my blood sugar under control with many different pills. Luckily I went to see Dr. Advani. Instead of putting me on insulin right away, she examined my detailed blood test and declared that she can help me to turn my diabetes around! She recommended that I change my eating habits, do a cleanse, and read books on nutrition. I followed her recommendation. In a month, she lowered my blood sugar from A1C 9 points to 7 points! My blood pressure reading became normal. She also spotted and corrected my extreme vitamin D deficiency. She is a fantastic doctor! With her help, I am getting my blood sugar under control and am working toward kicking diabetes to the curb. She is not the kind of doctor who just basically puts a patient on insulin because their GP says so. I am grateful that Dr. Advani meticulously analyzed my blood test and discovered that my peptide level was high (indicating my pancreas is functioning despite being diabetic) to give me a chance to work toward normalizing my blood sugar without medication. She encourages and inspires me to get healthier and change my eating habits. I have a lot more energy and feel great! She really cares about her patients. I am so glad she is my doctor!

I have never written a review before but I feel that it's necessary that I write about Dr. Advani. I went to Dr. Advani for about 2 years, The first few months I went to her for my hypothyroidism I felt better, after awhile I started to not feel so great again. I went back to her and she assured me everything was fine and indicated I needed to buy vitamins at $35 a pop out of her office. She scheduled me for another visit, and I was still feeling off weight gain, breaking out, hair falling out of my head and eyebrows, missing period. Dr. Advani literally came into the exam room, I told her my symptoms and 30 seconds later she was shooing me out of her office to force more vitamins at $35 a pop that were not helping. I didn't feel right I knew my thyroid was off and was getting progressively worse and she was NOT listening to what I was saying. I was literally in her exam room for less than a minute. After that I never went back to her again. I think it's rude that she would not address my questions, she spend no time with me, and didn't take the time to explain what was going on with my body. The nurses in the office were always very nice that is the only reason I gave the staff a 3 out of 5. I suggest if she is not listening to your symptoms to find a new doctor.

Dr. Advani is terrific. She has helped me a great deal. However, the receptionist secretary is so rude that I may have to consider a new doctor for that reason alone.

Dr Advani is great. First she took me in when other endocrinologists did not have time for me plus she takes Cigna. I donot understand how other doctors refuse to take insurance. Dr. Advani is caring and has an holistic approach after you get yourself better. I came to her with an A1C of 16 off the charts. Now I'm down to 6.2 A1C and off the harder medicine initially. Yes it's hard to change your life style but now I'm 40 pounds lighter and feelin great. Thank you Dr Soono Advani, she is a permanent part of life routine and I wouldn't have it any different.
