Arvind Arun Kulkarni's Online Review Report Card

I mystified at the one star ratings. I found Dr. kulkarni to be very knowledgeable and empathetic. He listened when I explained the problems I was having, and he’s the only one who found the answer. I immediately changed my gastroenterologist to him. I think he is an excellent physician and I will continue to go to him.

Great DR. Would recommend highly

I always liked Dr. Kulkarni until I saw this side of him. I was scheduled for a routine colonoscopy and he came to the OR angry with me that he had to drive to Duluth, which I guess was an inconvenience for him that morning, instead of doing the procedure in Lawrenceville. I had no idea why he was yelling at me, I was gowned, in the OR room, IV’s hooked up and ready to go under for the procedure. He berated me and expressed his disdain for me the entire time I was being put under. I was in a total state of shock, disbelief, and then went to sleep. When I awoke I burst into tears in the recovery room and that experience traumatized me and haunts me to this day (had the procedure in 2014, and just found this review site). I did nothing wrong, was given a choice of hospital by the scheduler. This horrific experience and his despicable conduct was witnessed by the attending nurses that were assisting. They wrote him up and it is a well documented case at the hospital. He is vile, arrogant, and has anger management issues!

A very professional environment . Dr.Kulkarni was spending appropriate amount of time explaining and following up the procedure. Great team!

Dr. Kulkarni is amazing. I have been disappointed by other gastroenterologist but he has and is going above and beyond to help me. He is curious and realizes everyone doesn't fit a certain mold. He is trying everything he can to find the source of my problem and he listens to what I have to say. He is caring and so far has been a god send in my search for answers. If you have a complex case I suggest going to see him, because he will keep searching to try to find the problem.

Consult- seemed focused on showing med student what to do than helping me. Upper Endoscopy- Prepped for procedure, waited over 90 min while he discussed summer plans etc. Post procedure: Ketamine Ataxia I was put into my daughter's car while yet unable to move due to the ketamine anesthesia, despite my protests. I was retrieved to finish recovering for additional 1.5 hours insisting on being given water to help process out the anesthesia. Very scared.Follow up not included in procedure costs

Good doctor,at first but now my wife cannot get anywhere with him or his office.she is still in pain and it is like they just do not care.Endoscopy,colonoscopy,cat scan,MRI.and still no conclusion,I swear they just make you go thru all this to just get money.

Both my husband and I visited Dr. Kilkarni to have a routine colonoscopy--give my husband prescribed muralax--it worked--i recd no prescription call office said buy OTC--cost $18--didnt work, detailed service and explanation to husband, me i got nothing --billiing dept close 11 am--my husband billed as routine, myself billed as diagnostic, they want $206--if you a woman, find another Dr, if you are a man--easy breezy

Dr. Kulkarni is great!! Also, his nurse Evelynn is the best!! The worst thing about this Dr is his appointment staff. It took 17 minutes and 56 seconds today to obtain an appointment for a long time patient. Incidentally we were told (this morning) to secure this appointment as Dr. Kulkarni requested Good luck dealing with this arm of Southern Gastrologist

I was a patient of Dr. Kulkarni until my last visit. I realize I'm not going to the doctor to make friends, as I have many issues that need to be addressed, but Dr. Kulkarni made me feel as though as he despised me, his job, or maybe both. He has not kept up with my records, and somehow managed to lose a procedural report, therefore, I had to have the same procedure again; this time with another doctor. Since being with a new doctor I get to feel whats it's like to have a truly caring doctor who is organized and professional. No more leaving the doctors office feeling stressed and overwhelmed. No one should put up with a mean spirited doctor while they are not well. There are good doctors out there! Just be cautious of this one .ð???
