Dr. Ruta Vijay Wakharkar, MD

Had to insist many many times and she still wouldn’t allow me to see a specialist. I got approval from another doctor and was diagnosed with serious issues. Also felt very judged when talking about sexual health issues.

This doctor lacks the judgement to make a basic diagnoses. She recommended i get a CT scan even when it was absolutely unnecessary. She dragged on recommending me to a specialist when i experienced severe stomach ailment. I would never recommend her to any one. The biggest mistake of my life was to agree for CT scan only so that she can recommend me to a specialist if nothing shows up in the test. She's plain stupid and not at all interested in the well being of her patients. To me, looking back, she only seemed interested in putting me though 1 test after another until she could no longer think of any tests and just had to recommend me (at my persistent request) to a specialist as my suffering continued. DO NOT GO TO THIS stupid lady. People like should never be in this profession. Mind you, i am a hardware engineer by profession and do root-cause analysis/problem solving as a part of my professional day-to day life. To me she lacked the ABC.. of trying to root cause a problem that a… basic doctor should be savy with. She grossly disregarded the symptoms and the great detail in which i described my problem had started. I knew exactly how it had started (from stomach flu due to bad food i had at a restaurant) and progressed (to stomach inflammation and excruciating pain in stomach from specific food - immediately as i ingested them). There was no reason for CT-scan after all the blood work that had already been does, since the only area where i had pain was the stomach and the only time had it was due to food. She kept giving me acid blockers and situation kept aggravating and topped it with a CT scan after the medicines didnt do any good to me.

Over all she is a nice doctor. It was only my last visit that I had such a long wait. She tries to cover all questions. I have no complains on this lady. She is professional.
