Gita Pillai's Online Review Report Card

I've been very happy with Dr. Pallai. As far as I'm concerned, she really knows what she's doing. She knows her stuff so well that it's almost hard to keep up with her, but if you don't get it, she'll explain a little slower. I had a shoulder replacement surgery, and to me it's been way less pain than getting a repair surgery. She uses the latest methods with the newest technology. When she tells you what needs to be done, remember that she's the doctor, and her protocols are what should be followed in order to get the best results. I would highly recommend Dr. Pallai, and I'll use her again in the future when my other shoulder has had enough.

Dr. Pillai is kind, attentive, and truly cares for her patients. She answers questions and takes the time need for patients to get the answers they need.

Dr. Pillai is extremely caring. Her expertise is helping resolve a shoulder/rotator cuff condition that had become chronic. With complete confidence, I recommend Dr. Pillai.

Unfortunately my experience with Dr. Pillai was anything but 5 star. I saw her to evaluate a torn biceps tendon in my arm. She never introduced herself. She never took a medical hx, (I had two torn biceps muscles previously)never even asked how I was injured. She was abrupt and unprofessional. She never actually examined my arm. She tested my range of motion and asked if I had pain and from this she was able to conclude that I had a shoulder injury not a biceps injury. My biceps muscle had ruptured and if she had bothered to look she would have seen a huge popeye bulge in my forearm. She never bothered to look at the x-rays that I had brought from an urgent care facility. She was however adamant that I needed additional x-rays done by her facility. By the end of our brief appointment I had zero confidence in her as a clinician.

First visit with Dr. Pillal. Staff and doctor very friendly and caring. Dr. Pillal explained everything clearly in layman’s terms. Would highly recommend.

It was great! I went in with two problems instead of one and she was able to address both in the same day! She is a really good practitioner and listens and explains things very good and easy to understand.

Horrible experience with this practice and the doctor

She helped “cure” my rotator cuff with PT and didn’t recommend surgery. I was amazed that any surgeon wouldn’t want to operate! Very nice, listened to my concerns and even offered to look at a friend’s knee because the friend couldn’t get a straight answer from any ortho doc. I recommend Dr Pillai to everyone.

Dr. Pillai operated on my right shoulder repairing a torn rotator cuff.
