I would've liked there to be more of a conversation between me and the MD. She was nice but was more directive rather than asking me what I already do around my health. [...] She didn't even ask what I do or had done. It felt dismissive of my experience.
Dr. Gulkandia is a good listener and very compassionate. She seems very thorough in checking in about ongoing concerns.
Dr. Gulkhandia is truly one of the most caring and attentive physicians I've ever had. From the moment I walked into the office, I felt respected, heard, and genuinely cared for. She took the time to listen carefully to all of my concerns, explained everything clearly, and made sure I understood my treatment plan without ever making me feel rushed.What stands out most about Dr. Gulkhandia is her compassion and professionalism. She combines deep medical knowledge with a warm, reassuring bedside manner that immediately puts patients at ease. It's rare to find a doctor who is both highly skilled and so personable.My visit yesterday reminded me why I trust her completely with my healthcare. I left feeling confident, supported, and grateful to have such an outstanding primary care physician. I highly recommend Dr. Gulkhandia to anyone looking for a doctor who genuinely cares about her patients and goes above and beyond to provide exceptional care.
She is a "physicians physician "! Excellent demeanor, excellent clinician, and just a fantastic person.
[...] Dr Gulkhandia is a caring professional who always listens well to my concerns. She orders the right tests to diagnose me or refers me to someone who can help. I trust her advice and I hope she stays! [...]
I wanted to share my sincere appreciation for the care provided during my visit yesterday. Dr. Gulkhandia took the time to listen carefully to my concerns, explained everything in a clear and reassuring way, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the appointment.Dr. Gulkhandia's professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail truly stood out. It's not always easy to find a physician who combines expertise with such genuine compassion for their patients, and I'm very grateful.
I felt that Dr. Gulkhandia did not listen to me to fully understand my questions and concerns. She provided poor and misguided recommendations for next steps, clearly demonstrating that she either did not listen or did not understand.
[...] Following the departure of my previous primary care provider, I was assigned Dr. Gulkhandia and have seen her twice for annual wellness visits. My recent experiences have left me feeling that my healthcare is increasingly fragmented. While I understood the need for an initial assessment during Dr. Gulkhandia's first year, the second visit involved identical questions regarding my medical history-including dates of my last mammogram and colonoscopy-despite this information being accessible in my chart from prior UW appointments. This approach does not reflect holistic or coordinated healthcare, as I would expect within the UW system. The lack of visibility into my records or sufficient review of my chart prior to appointments has resulted in my care feeling routine and impersonal, rather than tailored and thorough. [...]
Sudha Gulkhandia is an absolute gem! Despite what I am sure was a busy day for her, she took the time to listen, show concern and kindness, talk through medical options and performed my physical. I felt heard, cared for, and she was very professional and thorough. Her type of care and communication is what I expect from a modern and effective clinic and should be considered the model. Her nurse [...] was also very kind, thoughtful and relayed accurate Info to Sudha. They made a great team. Finding myself in need of quality care right now, I thank you SO much for this excellent medical experience. It makes it easy to recommend your clinic to others!
Dr. Gulkhandia, her MA/nurse, the receptionist, and the lab technician were all phenomenal, it was the best experience to the doctors office I have ever had in my entire life.
This was the best experience in every way with the care provider. She was kind, thorough and really listened.
Dr. Gulkhandia is an exceptional physician whose professionalism, compassion, and expertise truly set her apart.
Sudha is wonderful.
I'm very happy with the care I receive through UW medicine, and especially happy with Dr Gulkhandia and the team at Issaquah. She is professional, knowledgeable, caring, she listens and discusses my complex and overlapping conditions. She is responsive when I have asked questions via the portal or by phone. The only downside is the distance I travel from Tumwater/Olympia. It is worth it to me.
Dr. Gulkhandia seems very passionate about her work and patient care. She is very detailed and thorough in explaining treatment and options for medical care.
Dr Gulkhandia is very nice, helpful and I trust her with my health.

I felt very listened to.
She is a wonderful provider with fantastic bedside manner. She made me feel safe and seen and heard. I'm so thankful I found her to be my PCP. I will 100% recommend her to others who are looking for a caring, competent provider.
Dr. Gulkhandia was very professional but also very personable with an excellent "bedside" manner. She happily explained anything I wanted more details on. Remembered the conversations we had six months ago.
Had a wonderful visit with Dr Sudha!
Excellent. Dr. G. Is always very engaged and helpful.
Dr Gulkhandia is an excellent listener, and kind practitioner. I'm very happy to have her on the UW team. [...] , her assistant, is also wonderful.
The nurse was kind and easy to chat with. My new Dr. Sudha Gullkhandia had wonderful bedside manner. I was going to move to a clinic closer to my house but changed my mind after meeting with my Dr. Gulkhandia!
