Ratings for Dr. Uma Belgaumkar
Punctuality is good if you mean when you are in the office how quick it takes to get seen sure... but if punctuality means that anything you ask of her gets done quickly then I change my rate to a zero. As a health care provider myself I honestly find her practice frightening and dangerous... my mom was prescribed a blood pressure medication and not once did she get her blood pressure taken by Dr Belgumkar. I have also waited for referrals to be sent for weeks and weeks when the problem is very time sensitive. Very unimpressed and HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND.

I find it difficult to understand her staff on the phone. It's very difficult to speak to someone to make or change an appointment. I don't feel that she listens to me as she doesn't offer tests or referrals. When I have asked for a specific test she reluctantly agrees.

She is almost always late, the staff never answer the phones and when they do after leaving multiple voicemails it still takes over 3.5 weeks for them to return your call. Would highly not recommend her as your doctor. Unless you like being pushed pills with no regard to drug interactions and proper testing before. I have always gotten better treatment and evaluations from walk in clinics.

I have been with Dr. Belgaumkar for fifteen years. She uses other doctors as required to complement her expertise. Personable and engaging.

She is almost always on time and listens carefully to patients issues. She takes things seriously and has alwaya been extremely kind and helpful. I have been patients for many years and my daughter has since she was born.

I find her to be rushed quite often and does not listen thoroughly. I have waited months for a referral and call to find out that it has not been documented or actioned! The front staff are difficult to understand as they speak quickly on the telephone.

I'm confused about the negative reviews on this site. Dr Belgaumkar has always been fabulous with me. She was the first one to take an ear issue seriously, which required surgery. Every other doctor brushed it off until I went to her. She has always listened carefully to any health concerns I had and did everything she could to diagnose. Sent me for tests, recommended specialists. She remembers my medical history and is always kind and compassionate. I have been a patient for many years since she was a new doctor and would not consider changing doctors. She takes every issue I have seriously and always does what she can to help, including sending me to a specialist if she feels my issue is better treated by someone more specialized. That's what a family doctor is supposed to do. Great GP!! I usually go first thing in the morning due to work and she is always right on time. I have had to wait for maybe 10 mins if I come in half way through the day, but likely the reason is she is taking her time to give the best care to a patient before you and will do the same for you. I never feel rushed.

Dr. Belgaumkar has emerged as a knowledgeable physician dedicated to care and concern for her patients' well being. She takes time to listen, and keeps up on medical advances that many clinic staff don't seem to absorb. She is willing to learn, and will refer to a specialist's help whenever there is doubt. Very glad I'm in her care.

I have been seeing Dr. B for a long time and have always received very good care. She takes me seriously and explains what she needs to. We have frank and honest discussions about important things. My only complaint has come about in the last few months - her receptionist! The last few receptionists the office has had have been wonderful but this latest lady who started around Christmas time doesn't ever return calls and once actually gave me false information over the phone which resulted in me coming in for a wasted appointment.
