Women's health

Dr. Punjabi orders tests like DHEA-S, Vitamin D OH 25, and various hormone panels for women, so that goes in the plus column.

• Cons: Sometimes takes awhile for them to get back to you

Went in to get help with weight gain....

...and during the appointment I was asked if both my kids had the same dad and when I said no, i was asked how I was going to talk to them about intercourse and how I was going to keep them from making the same mistakes i did. I was told that when my daughter is a teenager, who is now 3, I need to tell her, "you get pregnant and I will hurt you." definitely posting a complaint with the state on this one. I was humiliated and scared.

• Pros: none
• Cons: weird, weird, weird person

Good Service

I've been a patient of Dr. Punjabi and so has my husband. He and his staff have helped me lose weight and develop an eating/exercise plan and maintenance plan to keep it off. He is always friendily and takes time to listen. He is informative and promotes education of things inwhich he says. He even gave me a book and suggested others to read about subjects we discussed outside of weight loss. I have never had to wait long for any appt. Though he is considered out of network for our insurance. He accepts my regular copay.

Great Results!

I thought I had tried everything to lose weight. A friend told me about Dr. Punjabi and how he had helped her lose over 40 pounds. She talked me into going to see him. I?ve been seeing him now for 11 weeks and have already reached my goal of 20 pounds. I can?t believe it. I still have one more visit but am so happy with my results and the way this has changed my life.

He took the time to set me up with the right nutritional supplements, weekly visits with his weight loss coach and has monitored my health every step of the way. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who cares about losing weight and trashing their bad eating habits for good. I feel like a new person! Thanks, DR. P!!!

• Pros: You get the results you're looking for...

This doctor pushes you to buy many expensive vitamins & supplements.

Rip Off! I went to this doctor to get help with my weight gain. He talked to me briefly, walked out of the room, and came back with over five different bottles of vitamins. I told him I had these things at home

(fish oil, etc.). He said that his vitamins were better. How would he know??? The total of all of the bottles of vitamins were over $200. He also tried to push thyroid medicine to replace the one I was already taking. He said that they make their own thyroid medicine and that it's better than synthroid. Note that insurance doesn't pay for any of this! This has to be the worst doctor I have ever been to. I felt like he was trying to get money out of me within the first five minutes of the visit.

• Pros: None
• Cons: Expensive, Long wait, Waist of time and Money
