Tulpule Radhika, MD

Our experience with this doctor was beyond disappointing.
Unfortunately, we now have a worse medical situation of an elder due to her negligence and lack of proper diagnosis.
Be forewarned

I totally agree with Rachel K.
I had food poisoning.
I called so I could see the doctor. And I needed a note for work.
They just shulffed me off and said they were too busy.
So I ended up going to Magan Clinic.
The front desk gal has a bit of an attitude.

Dr. Tulpule has been my grandma’s PCP for many years. I’ve frequently taken my grandma to appointments so I’ve had a lot of interactions with Dr. Tulpule. She’s always been thorough, a clear communicator, friendly and insightful.
Her support staff however, is problematic. The head desk person is both easily confused by simple things yet condescending and abrasive when she doesn’t understand basic requests such as mailing something as opposed to having my grandma with Alzheimer’s who cannot drive come in and pick it up. My other family members don’t want to help me with my grandma’s medical care if it means they have to speak with this person. In fact, my father needed a new PCP in the area and wanted to see Dr. Tulpule since he already knew and trusted her but decided not to because of his interactions with the desk person and chose a different doctor close by.
I would still recommend Dr. Tulpule though. She is an excellent doctor!

Great doctor, very polite and thorough. I went in for achilles issue, she didn’t rush me, and she even asked me if there is anything else I’d like to discuss while I was there (which is kinda rare these days). Great helpful staff that was very helpful with my pre-​op scheduling… I was assigned to Dr Tulpule by my insurance provider, but due to the positive experiences with her and her great staff, I will keep her as my primary…

Okay, so Dr. Tulpule has been my primary care physician for almost 10 years, and I myself am a physician.
She’s honest, covers most insurance plans and is flexible.
The review below sounds like the patient just wanted medications. FYI: Diet and exercise does help!
All in all, Dr. Tulpule is a great physician, and I will continue as her patient for years to come.

I tripped over this website while checking out backgrounds for other doctors. I’m looking for a new one because Dr. Tulpule is not working out for us.
She’s usually very nice. She’ll talk with you as long as you want. But don’t go there if you are hoping to hear something besides «eat right and exercise.» Duh. Just give me some pills.
My grandma almost died because «eating right and exercising» does not cure pneumonia. Tulpule down plays everything. Your knee hurts? Exercise. Can’t breathe? Exercise. Panic attacks? Exercise.
I know eating right and exercising are important; I don’t need a doctor to tell me that. That is not what I’m paying for. Do some blood work, tell me I need to see a shrink, do a cat scan, prescribed some meds. Act like a doctor, not my mom.
