    Dr. Gopinath is very kind, friendly and listens intently to concerns and then acts quickly. She has a keen mind and thorough approach to patient care. I highly recommend her as a primary physician.

    Dr. Gopinath is highly knowledgeable and focused on research, often relying on studies rather than engaging with the patient's individual needs. She prescribes quickly to treat symptoms but doesn't explore underlying causes. At times, her explanations felt off base, and she seemed hesitant to move beyond research into patient-centered care. After multiple visits, I've decided to switch to a provider who prioritizes direct patient engagement.

    Dr. Gopinath has been the best doctor I've had the pleasure of receiving care from. Medical visits are not always pleasant things, but Dr. Gopinath makes a point of connecting with me to get to know me better as more than a patient, and has assuaged my anxiety on any procedures I might have to do. Dr. Gopinath has set the standard of medical care that I receive.

    Dr. Gopinath is the best primary care physician I have ever had in my 78 years of going to a doctor. She is knowledgeable, thorough, compassionate, caring, and comprehensive. She reads my chart before I get there and discusses with me the health concerns from the preceding year. She listens and she provides great suggestions to improve my health.

    Dr. Gopinath was extremely respectful, thorough in her assessment, and I felt like she was listening to my health concerns. She was reassuring and courteous at all times. I'm glad she is my primary care physician.

    She had a difficult job like she said filling the shoes of Dr. Farrukh but I felt relieved thinking that she will take care of my health
