Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.June 23, 2024REDWOOD HEALTH CENTERDr Kottarathil was not very personable and lectured me for about 10 minutes about a possible issue I don¿t even think he fully understood seeing as he asked very little questions and made me feel awkward about asking the questions I had. I told him about a rash and without questioning when it started, why it started or even what it feels like he jumped to conclusions and shut down the whole conversation with ¿just don¿t wear deodorant¿. Not even a referral. Overall an unhelpful experience and aggravating considering I waited 2 months for this appointment and received little to no answer to the concerns I had going in. My last straw was his use of the BMI to tell me I ¿can¿t afford to gain any weight¿. I weigh 140. Nearly 30 pounds lighter than the average woman in the US. I find it very concerning that doctors still use the BMI after an incredible amount of research has shown it to be outdated and harmful to women. Insensitive comments like that are the reason people get ED¿s.
June 16, 2024REDWOOD HEALTH CENTERHighly recommend this doctor! He takes the time to listen and really made me feel I was an important player in my own care. I have noticed he will look into matters thoroughly and determine what can be handled appropriately onsite before referring out care. This is refreshing. I feel like I am getting the care I need without feeling like I'm starting to become part of a perpetual medical hamster wheel.

I appreciate his straightforward, frank and efficient discourse and the valuable info he imparted during the visit.
