She has been treating me since I had my cancer diagnosis 9 years ago. She is an extremely intelligent, kind, warm and well prepared doctor. I am happy I choose her to take care of me. She is right on top of any concern I have and always has very educated answers. She is very thorough, but I never feel like I’m rushed :)

Doctor Nadkarni and her entire staff are efficient caring friendly and extremely competent. I consider Dr. Nadkarni to be my primary consultant. She and her staff are great listeners. My bloodwork results appear on my phone before Dr. Nadkarni even enters the exam room. For a very busy practice, they have a way of making you feel like you're totally their focus.

Dr Nadkarni is a true gem. She is very personable, caring and you can tell she loves what she does with showing compassionate care. She asked appropriate questions (clarity on family history on both sides) to gain knowledge to obtain a TC Risk score to determine whether or not I was high risk for breast cancer which in the end was more in my favor. I can’t say enough about her and her staff who was also very friendly and professional and made it an overall pleasant experience. Highly recommend Dr Nadkarni!
