Rude, incompetent, arrogant, narcissistic! Stay away!!!
I am a doctor myself and was a patient here for over a year with no real issues (besides Dr. Satnam Atwal refusing to write anything besides illegible paper scripts, which are a pain when dealing with controlled medication). Unfortunately, when I moved, the office took way too long to send my records to my new physician. Further the records were completely illegible and thus of no help. When I called asking for perhaps typed transcripts of the records, or at least a rewritten legible summary, the secretary was incredibly rud... read more
Horrible! He diagnosed me with bipolar II within 10 minutes without so much as medical or family history. He practically put words in my mouth. He barely made eye contact with me but looked more at my husband who was there for moral support. He was very condescending. Maybe it was because I was a female? I saw another psychiatrist and with an in-depth rendering of my family and medical history I was correctly diagnosed with major depressive disorder, anxiety, panic disorder and PTSD. Was put on the correct medications. Not e... read more
Terrible terrible doctor. Does not listen. Within 5 minutes diagnosed me with bipolar disorder. Due to covid for the past year, he has to call in prescription's, so says and never does!! I go 1-2 weeks without medication for the past 6 months. The office does not answer the phone and you have to leave a voice mail. they do not return calls, and the medicine is not called in! I have sent e-mails and numerous phone calls. When you finally do get a hold of the incompetent receptionist, she states it was called in, and it is the... read more
Please please PLEASE. Do NOT go to this doctor. Read the healthgrades review, read hiz google reviews, he is 100% the worst doctor I have ever seen. He is dismissive, rude, unprofessional, unreliable & goes through new staff every month or so as a result of his behavior. He is awful at communicating, and will give everyone different answers and waste patients time. He does not care about his patients at all, & only cares about the money. I have been going to this man for 13 years, & now will be switching doctors. I have been... read more
Unfortunately he has prescribed incorrect/unintended dosage twice in less than two years. He doesn’t listen; clips my sentences. Takes phone calls mid-appointment in front of me (pre-covid in-person). Held in-person appointments without regard to covid till suddenly they were by phone. Based on the canned re-caps on how I’m doing; they are just wrong. I never visited such and such place. I can’t prove it but based on my experience with bp treatment over 12yrs, stable, same med; he withholds the stabilizer choosing to prescri... read more
I've been with him for 2 years. Quick visits. He doesn't like it if I tell him I'm not doing well. He's never been rude to me but he's not a doctor who will try to find out what's going on with me. Pretty narrow-minded psychiatrist. As others said, I was also diagnosed with bipolar on my first visit even though I don't have hypomania or mania. He said that if depression doesn't improve with antidepressants, it's a bipolar disorder instead. I give him 2 stars because he prescribed me medications I suggest that I try. But no, ... read more
Dr. Atwal is very caring and intelligent. I have been seeing him for a few months and he really helped me. I went on medication recently that he prescribed and it changed my life. It is also nice talking with him.
I’m so sorry I ever met this Doctor!!! He’s rude and so is his staff!!! He’s very disorganized, has food and empty coke cans on the floor!! He only sees me and all his other patients 5 to maybe 8 minutes. You walk in sit, asks how you’re doing with his back turned away from you. He’s already writing my prescriptions on my refills. Please people read all his reviews!!!! TY??
