I don't know what the other two reviews are on about, surely they are just ungrateful. Dr. Katbamna is one of the nicest doctors I have met in my life. He had me in and out in basically minutes. His ability as well as care has left me satisfied

Cold, impersonal, acted like a superiorcondescending to treat an inferior. (This is America, not India. We do not adhere to the caste system where the poor are considered "untouchables.) Reluctant to accept input from patient,unwilling to listen to or regard patient's observations & comments. Came across as chilly, dictatorial, and unconcerned about patient as a person, simply a case to be treated, money for his practice. Will never return for treatment from this physician. Any knowledge he might share, any benefit he might give, is very overshadowed by hisinability to connect at a human level with his patient.

Dr. Katbamna was extremely impersonal in that he took no time to listen to problems. He was in the office with me less than 2 minutes told me to take Sudafed and there was nothing he could do. He took no time to listen and was rushing around although the waiting room was empty. By far, Dr. Katbamna was the worst doctor I have ever had the misfortune to meet with.
