Dr. Yogesh Chand Dhingra, MD

The best Pediatrician there is!

Stay away!!!!! He's waiting area is over packed and never cleaned. He blindly and recklessly prescribes meds. My child has had pneumonia and scarlet fever misdiagnosed by him. I'm awaiting further testing on my child to pursue legal actions.

Firstly, Dr. Dhingra is fine. He's a good doctor, but not great. He is fairly thorough, and took time to answer any questions I had. My problems, and the reasons I'll happily never return, are the format he follows in seeing his patients, the cleanliness of the building, and the seemingly apathetic nature of his staff. My biggest gripe is in the way we've been forced to wait over an hour past our appointment time on our only two visits. The first time I assumed that they were simply running behind, like doctors' offices do sometimes. For our second visit, I paid more attention, and after 30 minutes of waiting, watched as they called people in who arrived well after we did. We had an 8:30 appointment time, the earliest possible time you can get in, so I don't buy that they were aleady running behind by 9:00. I don't want to believe it, but I'm starting to think Dr. Dhingra has a buddy system, and if he doesn't know you, you get to wait an indefinite amount of time while he freely… sees his friends' kids. If this isn't true, then it's obvious that he's taking far too many appointments at 8:30, and since they all arrive after me (we arrived at 8:20, at which time only one person was waiting) I'll assume that they're arriving late. Why punish the one patient who arrives on time?
