Ashwini KAMATH Vaidya's Online Review Report Card

I visited Dr. Vaidya last year with a skin problem. I did not like her. She did not spend much time with me. She did not give me any medicine. She just said I would need a Biopsy. Surprisingly, I visited another Dr. this year with the same problem and she said it is Eczema!

Dr. Vaidya listens carefully and gives detailed explanations. The best doctor I have ever had as far as making me feel comfortable and not just another paying customer.

She listens well, and is kind, compassionate and sensitive to the things that would be embarrassing. I am proud to have her as my dermatologist.

I called the clinic to check on solutions to acne problems. I saw a dr 2 yrs prior but with no luck. When I called it was to reschedule with that same dr however the wait was terrible! So I asked for the next available appointment. Which happened to be the very next day. I was very pleased. While in the drs office i was also very pleased by how educated she was not only as a dr but she included the main things I was worried about in our conversation. Like how expensive the meds would be and if my insurance would take them. All in all I paid $40. That is including all expenses copay and scripts for an acne clear face.. Definatly worth it and glad I went.

Dr. Vaidya is extremely thorough, listens carefully to everything a patient has a concern or question about. When she came through the door my first visit she knew my prior history. Her comforting & positive manner was just what I needed and continue to. The first visit she had to give me news I was not ready to hear. After many years of treatment for pre-skin cancers & skin cancers, she thought I had malignant melanoma. I cried. Dr. Vaidya immediately held my hand letting me know it was okay to cry. I felt an immediate trust. It was melanoma. She was prepared & let you know she is going to support you, being honest at the same time. You know 2 things upon leaving,she knows her area of specialty, & she is on this journey with you even after surgeon takes over. She has an extrodinary,compassionate & positive attitude.I walked out still feeling scared, yet strong feeling I was in the right medical hands after 1st visit Medical expertise A+ if you need a good bedside manner she has it!.

She is the best dermatologist, and I have been to several. I trust her completely. The only down side to being her patient is that she only works two days a week. I wish I could clone her. She has great bedside manner and is very efficient and professional.

She is the best in her office. She will listen to you and is very caring.

Dr. Vaidya seems kinds enough, but getting an appt to see her is becoming more difficult b/c of her limited schedule. Felt I was in good hands initially, but as my symptoms continued and no diagnosis was forthcoming, I felt fobbed off without much concern or sympathy. Good in the short term perhaps? but questionable in the long term in my opinion.

Both Dr. Vaidya and her nurse return phone calls. Her office staff is professional and courteous. My experiences with Dr. Vaidya have been excellent, primarily b/c she is proactive, professional, and caring. She took the time to find out what was wrong while the three other physicians I saw prior decided upon ridiculous diagnoses based on minimal information/labs. Thank you Dr. Vaidya.

She was great! I checked on ratemds before making an appt and I was not disappointed. She took her time with me, discussed all of my questions, and performed 3 small procedures that were not scheduled in order to help me out. She even mentioned something from my intake forms, which is different than how most docs come in and ask what you are in for - I was happy to know that she actually read my file!
