Windsor Regional Medical Associates

I WAS a patient of Dr. Sarika Sanghvi, but not anymore. I was her patient for a little more than 3 years, but have moved on because I feel that Dr. Sanghvi’s has little to no bedside manner and a general lack of interest in her patients. I initially thought she was a nice person, but I have come to see that she spends no more than 10 minutes with her patients, she is very limited in her medical knowledge and she has an inability to call her patients back when they have questions about their medical care. The staff also tends to be rude and whiney. I wouldn’t recommend this office to anyone.

I have nothing but positive things to say about this practice. I have been a patient of theirs for just about a year now after receiving what I felt to be less than adequate care from another doctor in the area. The office is very well organized and runs very efficiently. Appointments are as scheduled without undue delays or aggravations, yet visits are thorough and I’ve never felt rushed. There are four doctors on site, so even if your primary doctor is out of the office, there is another doctor onsite to see you for a sick call. My primary doctor is Dr. Sanghvi and I have also seen Dr. Kunamneni for a sick call, and I found both to be compassionate, professional and extremely thorough when dealing with my medical issues (or which there are more than a few…) and concerns. They have even extended their hours into the evenings a few days a week (I believe it is to 8 PM twice a week, but I am not 100% positive). There is also a phlebotomist on site, which is very convenient and prevents you from having to deal with the purgatory that is a LabCorp or Quest waiting room without an appointment! Everyone looks for something different from their PCP, and deciding what office is «good» or «bad» can be very subjective, but my personal opinion is that you’d do well to be seen here.

Very pleased with my experiences at this practice and with Dr. Kunamneni in particular. She has a great way with patients and I always felt comortable. She is also very thorough with her diagnostic workups. We were sad to have to leave this practice when we moved out of the area. I would recommend Dr K to anyone.

Walked in five minutes late and they denied me. I was in a lot of pain. Would not see me and just kept saying no. Finally told me to go to the emergency and «let them deal with me.» Won’t be going back to this practice. I will be looking for a new practice.

Wow. Where should I begin…
First off, Dr. Sanghvi was the worst doctor experience of my life. Not only did she not give me the correct test for my basic physical, when she rescheduled me in another visit, she wrote up for the receptionist that I needed another basic physical instead of a follow up visit. This doctor is either extremely green, or just horrible.
When I had an ultra sound done and they found benign cysts, the receptionist called me to tell me. I obviously had questions at that point. It took 3 phone calls to get Dr. Sanghvi on the phone, and when I asked general questions that she could not answer about the ultra sound results, she blew it off and proceeded to suggest I go to specialist for more answers. How can a doctor tell me nothing was wrong with this result and not explain why??? After speaking with her about this, she proceeded to tell me that we had NOT established a client/​doctor relationship and that I had 30 days to find a new primary care physician. Who needs a doctor with a god complex? Comforting and caring about a patient should be mandatory for all doctors. She obviously falls waaaaay short of this.
Keep in mind, when I first tried switching to another doctor in the practice after she didn’t order the correct work up for my physical, I was told by the receptionist that I could not ‘flip flop’ doctors. Even though I found out THEY can do that if they choose to.
I am not for writing reviews, but this horrendous experience left me feeling guilty and I knew I had to warn people about this place. It’s their way or the highway. Avoid this practice at all costs… Unless you like playing Russian roulette with your life.

I had a bad experience with Dr. Sanghvi. She over-​reacted to a minor lab abnormality but never contacted me directly to discuss it. (I am a nurse practitioner so I do know how to interpret the labwork and manage the results). I was contacted 3X by a med-​tech who became increasingly shrill and rude when I told her I disagreed with the doctor’s suggestions. At some point the physician should have given me a call directly and discussed this with me, instead of having someone with lesser knowledge call over and over again. When I asked to see another physician in the group I was told that patients are not allowed to «flip-​flop» among the doctors. This is contrary to what I was told when I made my first appointment. I was told that I could see the first available physician and then change later if I wanted to.
My feeling is that Dr. Sanghvi, although personable during the visit, is not a mature practitioner who can look at things in more than one way. She is not patient centered, but doctor-​centric. She wants to be the boss of the patients and does not respect patient’s ideas or autonomy. I have cancelled my future appointment with this practice as I feel that I was not treated with the respect that every patient deserves.
Bottom line: Stay away!

I’ve been going there for years, and Dr Brian Thomas is by far the best doctor I’ve ever had – knowledgable with a great bedside manner, and he actually LISTENS. He also spends time teaching you about your illness in a matter-​of-​fact way – never patronizing – to help you learn to cope with it, and seems genuinely happy to answer any question. I like that they don’t allow people to be late for appointments; it keeps everyone on schedule and you never have to wait beyond your appointment time to see the doctor. Love their patient portal too – you can actually see your lab results, schedule appointments, and request refills on it.

Excellent caring staff and physicians. The best medical group in the area especially Dr. Katie Kunamneni. Very professional and knowledgeable in all areas of medicine. They are responsive to all of our medical needs and are always available for emergencies. Highly recommended without any reservation.

This practice is sadly losing stars. Dr. Beaginn is gone, and with it, the opportunity to pepper a doctor with questions about your health. The other doctors I’ve seen (Dr. Bowers and Kunamneni) are very good at being empathetic, but they certainly rush you out the door once they’ve addressed your problem. They are close enough to my house (less than 5min) that I’m not looking to switch just yet. But I certainly miss the close personal care that I used to get.
