I am very happy with video visit.
Thank you for the help.
Excellent, compassionate, thorough doctor.
She was very knowledgeable and comprehensive. She asked good questions, seemed to understand my responses and, overall, was very attentive.
She was amazing in taking care of me and doing the things that need to be done for me to get better god bless her for doing her job right
Very helpful and concentrated on my symptoms and ordered xrays
Does not even remember me as a patient who has seen her before several times.
Thank you
I thought Dr Randwala was good asking and answering questions, and making sure she understood my symptoms. She was very clear on treatment plan, and my memory of visit accurately reflected in the visit notes provided. I was notified my medication available at Target CVS within 30 minutes of the end of the video visit (very good).
Wow! she was superb. On time, a great listener, and kind. Some people think kindness cannot be measured in a screen, but they would be wrong. It is the attention to detail. Not talking too fast. And acknowledging what I am sharing. I had already done some research before the visit, but she gave me confidence that I was on the right track. And, she reinforced what I have already been doing. I appreciate the kind attention you gave me as a patient. Thank you very much!
Great, thoughtful doctor.
Efficient and trustworthy

Very nice and professional.. answered all my questions..
Best of care always from the Stanford health care team
Overall very happy with new facility and changed location
First visit with her. She was honest and referred me to a Neurologist
First time to have a “senior†physical she explained the difference and proceeded the physical. However I wish that she could provide some advice after I tested COVID-19 positive two days after the physical. For a new patient seeking advice a simple “thanks for the update†seems inadequate.
Staff was friendly and helpful
Very helpful and provided great feedback that put me at ease.
The visit itself was good but the prescribed pills do not help as much as I would like them to.
Dr. Rangwala is excellent, understood the issues, provided the right kind of information for our upcoming trip, and suggested various things to prevent any infections while traveling. We really appreciate her honest, and straight answering questions.
This was my first visit and I will definitely be coming back.
Great doctor and very caring
She was so patient in answering my questions and got the information what I wanted from her. She was so nice and great.

Good
Dr. Rangwala is excellent!
The Doctor was horrible. I was in horrible pain. She sent me for an x-ray. It has been 6 days and I am still have horrible pain and with no results. I called and received an email from the nurse on Friday evening saying they didn't know the results from my x-rays. The concern and care from the Doctor is just not there. I'm considering changing to UCSF to get better care.
I like Dr. Rangwala very much. She is easy to talk with, listens well, and has useful medical information to share. She is friendly and professional.
the providers were highly skilled and very professional
Very thorough, attentive and detailed

Drs. Vattania and Rangwala were both professional, approachable and made me feel like I could be honest about myself and my health concerns, and their feedback was very straightforward and supportive.
Good.
I think that maybe she was reserved to interact more for the pandemic, but I felt that she was rushed in the appointment.
My doctor was so kind
it good
Love, love Dr. Rangwala. She has really helped me get healthier and encourages me to stay on track and keep focused on my health and well being.
I had to wait for 30 mins for the doctor.
Good

Dr Ragwala is very knowledgeable, courteous and explains very clearly
can't remember the doctors name but she was very friendly yet professional- courteous yet efficient - asked the right type and amount of questions and got to the point very quickly. SO PLEASED!!!
Wonderful doctor!
would recommend this care provider to other top notch care.
good
This visit was good - quick diagnosis and prescription to treat shingles. I've had issues with the providers on other visits, which is why I might not recommend this provider to others.
The doctor was very dismissive when I was asking about tubal ligation. Even after expressing my concerns with a failed birth control implant, the doctor continued to be rude and passive about my concerns. She completely dismissed my experience and desire to seek medical advice for my options.
tried to get RX for cough. she never answered pharmacies requests. I called office to see why, they said it was in her in box. to this day did not get RX. very frustratede
i didn't agree with the directions she was going to diagnose. Didnt feel like ahe heard my concerns or my complaints of pain. She had one thing in mind and stuck to it. i would not go back and now I have to make another. i wasted my time and my copay.
Dr. Rangwala is very sincere and honest about what my personal ailments were about and possible treatment options - With messages she usually answers same day. That is very much appreciated.
Good
Good
I've seen this doctor twice now. both times I felt like we were not on the same page and I left dissatisfied from inconsistent answers or the lack of education requested.
The doctor came in with a NP Intern and did NOT ask me if I was ok with it. She was condescending to me and basically showed me some "exercises" for my pain. I will not use her again.
good
My Dr. was very nice, speedy diagnosis and pointed out Med and lifestyle changes. I had Sinusitis.
good
I told her about a pain in my abdomen and she didnt listen at all... and she barely said a word to me beside what she read on the screen.. I felt like a number
Dr Rangwala is very professional but also shows interest in what I am telling her and has always made me feel she is listening to me and she has always told me to follow up with her if my symptoms continue to get worse in a situation where she did not find a specific reason for my reason for being there..she has also done blood work to rule out possible causes. I have RA .
Good experience
she is very mild mannered but really good and attentive! she definitely listened and addressed all my issues - she's soft spoken
It was my first time with Dr. Rangwala. She is very friendly and made me feel at ease. It is not enough contact with her to be able to recommend her to others.
The prescription needed for my care was cut in half due her worry about her license. No other doctor had this worry before.
She's great. I'm very happy with her.
Dr. Rangwala has a very welcoming and sweet nature. Listens attentively to all my needs. Always feel very well taken care of.
My visits with Dr. Rangwala are always very good. She figures out what is wrong and how to help you very quickly.
I always have a good experience
excellent care all around
Dr. Rangwala in general is not very friendly. I didn't feel comfortable with her due to her unfriendly demeanor.
for a 40 minute appointment, I only saw the doctor for 7 minutes
MD made me feel like I was a bother and interrupting her day. I described my condition as having a cold along with a sore throat. She swabbed my throat to rule out strep but never listened to my lungs. One of the worst PCP visits ever.
my doctor is great she listens to you and cares about your health and life. she is why I go here.
Although probably knowledgeable, I received the impression she was cold and unfriendly.
Dr. Rangwala listens and offers pratical easy to understand answers. Open to find best treatment for me, not just general. I appreciate that she doesn't make me feel like what Im feeling isn't real, and that means a lot.
Care provider very knowledgeable.
Dr. Rangwala did a basic exam and only addressed one of my issues. I was not allowed to address any of the others. How can the health of a person be evaluated if you won't listen to all their concerns? I know Dr. Rangwala was following your policy, but I felt cheated.
worst experience I have had in any doctors office. very rude to me, no compassion or care given to me at all on what was an extremely hard day for me and all I wanted was help from a doctor. nurse was great doctor was extremely rude!
Dr. Rangwala is a very professional. She asked the right questions and answered my questions regarding that days visit.
I will miss this care provider when I move!
great dr she's always on top of everything dealing with patient
Good communication and I could tell she was very concerned.
Dr Rangwala is an excellent doctor and has been there to assist me on a number of occasions when my internist was unavailable. She is very thorough and listens to you, communicates well. At Thanksgiving I was at ER at Valley Care Pleasanton. I could hardly breathe and had a pounding headache. Head, chest and lung CT scans were taken, I was released with diagnosis 7 hrs later with a viral infection and pain med's for headache. When I went to see Dr Rangwala 4 days later, I was feeling terrible and she looked at the lung CT scan and diagnosed me with pneumonia. She saved me, honestly within 24 hrs and the correct medication, antibiotics I was on the road to healing. Can't say enough about Dr Rangwala!
This is the first time I'm really happy with my probider
none
read previous statement
The doctor send me to the wrong X-ray facility. I had to go to the hospital instead to get my xrays. This was cumbersome, especially since I was feeling severely sick. I did not get a diagnosis nor did the doctor call me with my results as she had said she would. When I called the next day before noon, the doctor had already left for the day without following up with me.
I had seen Rangwala once better & will not to so again. She didn't remember me, was very rude & judgemental & did not seemed at all concerned about my worries.
The doctor and nurse spent more time reorganizing their bin of implements than the doctor spent extracting part of a hearing aid from my ear.
Dr. Rangwala has a very unwelcoming presence. I felt she was very cold and not kind.
provider said I need an cray of my shoulder for a possible year but the bottom of the order I was given says mammogram?
I asked about getting Shingrix vaccination. Dr. Rangwala said she would get back to me, but I haven't heard from her.
I don't feel like she really cares. Very dismissive of anxiety issue and wanting to seek therapy.
it very good
Physician seems to be rather rushed. Upon leaving, there are no other patients in the waiting room.
Very kind & courteous - genuine feeling - towards patient. I would recommend friends & family to visit.
not very friendly. I think she could be more empathetic.
Dr Rangwala was kind, informative and helpful. She validated my helath issue and was not dismissive. She offered practical counsel and help with meds despite my severe allergies to common medications. I greatly appreciate her care and concern.
By far the worst visit/care I have ever received from a primary care provider. CICARE is NOT instilled in this provider. I work for UHA Provider recruitment and left this office at a loss for works. Very business like, talked down to me, didn't look at me and was in a rush to leave.
love my doctor; easy to talk to her
Always concerned about my well being. Compliments when she see improvements and she is resourceful.
Dr Rangwala is very keen while listening to the patient's concerns. Very good experience so far.
Dr Rangwala always answers all of my questions regarding my health, blood work results, or general questions about anything that may be a health concern.
great experience
I was not offered any follow up care - told I had allergies but it got much worse and I was later told it was viral by another care provider when I called for another appointment.
Dr Rangwala is excellent, and I would highly recommend her to a friend or family member.
I felt that my needs were met and that the physician has a strong understanding of the condition. she took the time to answer my questions which I appreciated. I did not feel rushed.
Only spent about 5 mins with me, but otherwise a good experience.
It was fine, she told me some things I already knew and took care of my needs.
Very good experiences; physical, mental, and emotional.
no comments
Dr Rangwala always takes time to listen and has always been extremely sensitive to my issues.
The care provider was very business-like but rather aloof. She did not give the impression that she was happy to be there. The nurse and the rest of the staff were very friendly and professional.
she spent about 30 seconds looking at my left ear and told me I have an infection, and gave me the prescription. She did not look at anything else or do anything else, and then left.
dr rangwala was excellent
My doctor has been so caring and given me excellent care at all of my visits.
Dr Rangwala is fantastic. I have made her my primary doctor, driving out from Hayward to see her. She is kind, thorough and helpful.
Very helpful and informative.
I very much like Dr. Rangwala as my primary doctor!! She takes the time to listen to me & talk to me about whatever health issues I have at the time of my appointment.
Dr. Rangwala and all assistants were exceptional! I feel like they really care. I was very sick recently and I felt like I was taken good care of - Dr. Rangwala and staff were very prompt and instrumental in helping me through my illness.
Dr. Rangwala is extremely professional. This was only my 2nd visit with her, but I've never felt rushed or like she had more important things to do, which was a feeling I got at my old dr. office. We're still getting to know each other, but I like her a lot.
Dr Ringwalla is awesome and very detailed!
she did not help with my major problems and did not fully understand the degree of which I feel concerned
Always a pleasure to visit with Dr. Rangwala.
Dr. Rangwala was the one doctor out of many I saw to treat my back injury from an auto accident that actually took the time to listen to me and give me in depth information about my condition and what could be done to treat it. I'm sorry it took so long to find her.
Dr. Rangwala appears to be very competent, knowledgeable and is very calm. My ear congestion cleared up in four days just like she said it would.
I expressed some concerns she didn't seem to care really, and she left (I actually watched her walk out of the building to the parking lot) before completing what I came for. Very bad! Had to go contact front desk.
I needed stitches in a cut and the doctor explained the procedure to me so I knew exactly what was going to happen. I felt well cared for by both the doctor and her nurse. The doctor was efficient and the nurse held my hand while the procedure was going on which helped to calm me. I felt well cared for by them both
Dr. Rangwala has been very helpful throughout my past few visits. I feel she really listens to me and genuinely cares. She is a great doctor - very glad I found her.
she is very kind and caring.
Rangwala comes off in a very condescending way, she is not very polite or caring. She seems to be very cold & closed off. Poor empathy.
My doctor was caring and to the fact.
Yes I will refer my family members to this medical office When they have illness.( it will safe us a lot of time for illness treatment.)
Prompt attention & diagnosis.
Good.
Excellent, v. humble, polite.
Very freindly
I needed a same day appointment for a sinus infection and my primary care physician was off that day, I was asked if I wanted to see Dr Rangwala. I did and I am very happy with the treatment I received.
Humble, friendly & excellent diagnose & care.
Dr. Rangwala is a good doctor, but seemed rushed on this occasion.
Good.
Experienced with physician was terrible.
This was the first time I had seen Dr. Rangwala and she was very nice and answered all of my questions to my complete satisfaction.
Overall a good experience
Friendly & homely.
Very patience and understanding
The long wait time to be seen.
Dr. Rangwala and her staff are very knowledgeable, compassionate, caring and friendly.
Somewhat condescending; didn't clarify well on issue w/my hips; gave cautions on medication as an afterthought.
I think Renu Deshpante is a wonderful caring doctor and would highly recommend her.
Rushed appointment, didn't exam me, barely glanced at the sit of reason why I came in.
Very good.
Very happy with both my new dr. and the clinic. Staff is very very nice. Have recommended to a friend.
Dr. Rangwala is very nice & personable.
Dr. Rangwala was very understanding & encouraging. She was receptive to the degree of pain I was in, and was patient all along.
