Dr. Sunita Nitin Godiwala, MD

I’ve been going here for 20+ years and Dr. Godiwala has been nothing but dismissive. Very clear she only cares about the money. My most recent appointment will be my last. Excited to switch to a doctor that cares.

My husband and I are patients for 25+ years. More than satisfied with her no nonsense approach and ability to quickly diagnose problems. Her staff is helpful, knowledgeable and always ready to help.

I wish I could say I had positive feedback but I do not. The fact she makes you come back every 3 months for a “follow up” if you are taking any meds is just ridiculous. My mother goes to her and she just hands out pills left and right to her when clearly she has an addiction problem. She is just a money hungry doctor that doesn’t actually care about her patients. I have recently switched and am waiting for the call saying I am being charged to get my records sent over....

Do NOT go to this doctor!! not a patient advocate..

Dr. Godiwala is the best. I was having cronic pain for years, other doctors just kept telling me I had depression and giving me medication that didn't work. Dr. Godiwala saw that it wasn't depression and that I had fibromyalga . Now I'm pain free!

Most ridiculous doctor I have dealt with. Is it easy to get an appointment far in the future? Yes. That doesn't matter. Do yourself a favor and stay far, far away from this woman. Her staff is mediocre (was waiting for an appt and overheard a few of them making fun of clients after getting off the phone with them - really? unprofessional.) just like her interest in actually caring about your health. She is in it for the money. Wait time is usually 15-20 mins for a 5-10 minute appointment. She brushed off things I was concerned about in a rude manner when I brought them up. No explanations. I had to go visit an urgent care because she was unavailable and when I had my next appointment with her, she said they didn't receive the paperwork (Urgent Care told me that Godiwala would not accept the paperwork/results faxed - WHAT??) and made me go get it myself while I was still sick. If you want to get your records, she'll charge you $75+. For anyone dealing with this, use the client website… portal to print your records off. In my opinion, they don't care about you unless you're giving them money. Find a doctor who actually cares instead of this woman.

My appointment was for a physical and Dr. said I would need to make a follow-up appointment before she would refill a prescription! She also ordered labwork and said because I didn't have to pay a co-paymentfor a physical a new health insurance regulation states I would need to make a follow-up appointment to discuss the results. I called my health insurance company and confirmed there is no such regulation... Clearly Dr. Godiwala's goal is $$$, as stated in others' reviews. I have switched Dr.'s, as I cannot put my health in the hands of someone who blatantly lies.

I would not let dr Godiwala treat my dog! She is a rude, unprofessional money hungry dr. She has no bedside manner. She won't look at me during our one sided discussions of my health. I am extremely healthy so why did I need to go back every 2 months? If I cancelled an appointment I couldn't get my prescriptions until I made a new appointment! I transferred to a new doctor who I am very pleased with. If you value your health go to a new physician!! Convenience is not the way to go when you are concerned about your health, because if you do go to her, the only person who cares about your health is you!!!! I just wanted a Doctor who I felt at ease with and if I had a concern they would look into it! I didn't want to be a money sign!,

I saw Dr. Godiwala years ago and I have long since changed doctors, but I wanted to write now in case someone is considering this doc. First of all, Godiwala does not have a good bedside manner. During a Pap smear, I thought she was done and started to move. She yelled at me that she wasn't done. Then, it hurt during the Pap smear. When she was done, she threw a box of tissues at me and said, "Here. Clean up." I felt so uncomfortable. Her manner was so rude. Then, come to find out there was blood in the sample and she complained that she had to do the Pap smear again (but that was because she was rough with me). The tone in her voice was like she blamed me. I also had ongoing depression concerns. I told her I had been feeling better for a while but then had started to feel depressed again. Godiwala told me that I was bipolar and gave me strong antipsychotic meds. I thought that was strange, diagnosing me from one sentence! I have never been told by any other doc that I am bipolar. On… another note, my sister said that Godiwala inappropriately touched her. She says that the doc took a long time with her Pap smear and seemed to "enjoy" doing it. Most of the time I visited Godiwala, all she would do is talk about my acne. I had other, more important concerns, but her main focus seemed to be the pimples on my face. I wasn't that concerned with them, but she was. Every time I left her office, I had 2-3 new prescriptions. That's crazy. I don't like pill-pushing docs. Also, my older sister and mother didn't like her, either. We ALL swtiched docs and are much happier now! What does that tell you? The office staff isn't great, either. They've been rude to me most times. Like the other reviewer, I also had a hard time getting my medical records. They charged me but never sent my records. I had to call multiple times. Please, if you can, find another doctor, any doctor, but hopefully a good one! Please don't see Godiwala. Your health is important, and everyone deserves a caring, good doc!

I would not recommend this Dr. to my worst enemy! Dr. Godiwala does not understand what it means to supply service and to have compasion or understanding to patients. She has even gone as far as to slander myself (a former pt.) and write untrue things about me. She is un-ethical and unprofessional. I needed my medical records forwarded to my new Dr. - in another state. When I called to get them her office staff quoted me a $75.00 plus fee to obtain these. I had a total of 5 pages from past visits. I know this because before I moved I had to have records for another reason there in MA. Having once worked for years in the medical field and more important as a medical records specialist, I am aware of patients rights and what is/is not ethical (and legal might I add) to charge a pt. Never more then a $15.00 fee should ever be charged to a pt. and NEVER should a fee be charged to another physician requesting these. After reporting her office to the medical board in MA, due to no… progress with the office and even after indicating to them that I looked up the HIPPA compliance laws for the state of MA and what is and is not legal to charge a pt for records, I was informed that they would drop the complaint and also sent me a letter Dr. Godiwala wrote to them in regards to me. Mind you the Dr. never once spoke to me directly but yet has the nerve to state that I went off on her office manager, using ubscene language, and hanging up on her on 3 different occasions. I only actually spoke to her office manager one time and the receptionist the other time. Both times I was talking to them from my current employers office in which I had someone in close proximaty of me both times. I have witnesses that will testify to my character that I do not use ubscene language in the first place and that I am a pretty mild tempured person. I do not appreciate this doctors slanderous words against me- My only objective in reporting her was to help other patients of hers side step this situation. I am not the only one she has tried to over charge for records. My fiance' EX wife was told she would have to pay in excess of $200.00 for her daughters records to take to another Dr. Dr. Godiwala needs to learn that even though these records exsist in her office, they are the legal property of each individual pt. In the 5 yrs I worked for medical records, the only time we even charged anyone for records is if it was a Law office, workmans comp claim, or if the pt had over 75 pages in thier charts. Know your rights as a patient, and do not let doctors like Dr. Godiwala take unfair advantage of you.
