Anupama Adlakha, MD

I recently switched to Dr. Adlakha as my primary physician since my former primary has since retired. I was referred by a family friend. I must say that my experience with Dr. Adlakha was very wonderful in every aspect. The front desk staff was very professional and pleasant to deal with. I had a 3pm appointment and upon arrival was cordially greeted by the front desk and upon finishing my paperwork was promptly seen by the doctor (no longer than a 15 minute wait between the time I finished my paperwork and entering to be seen). Dr Adlaka was very thorough in examining me.
I have to strongly disagree with some of the reviews below, I found the front office staff to be extremely helpful and pleasant to deal with (perhaps it was former staff?). All in all, I strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a primary physician or for any matter really.

Dr. Adlakha is by far one of the best doctors I have ever came in contact with. She is not only thorough but she tries to do natural things before jumping right to medicine. She keeps up with her patients needs and wants. By taking the time with them. She does everything by the book and is a genuine person. She recently restaffed and the staff is wonderful! Very helpful young girls. She also does medical aesthetics which is a MUST try. Lipo light works amazing.

Avoid this disorganized practice. I had a scheduled appointment today. After a 20 minute wait in the waiting room, I tapped on the receptionist window and asked if I should fill out new patient paperwork. I was asked to take a seat. The receptionist then came out of the back and told me that she had left 2 messages yesterday because the Dr. Needed to cancel due to an emergency. I never received a call, a message or any indication that they even tried to call me. Technology fails but in this case, there was no call– they simply did not bother to contact me. I said that they were waisting my time and that I would not be coming back. I sent the Dr. an email stating so.
Upon arrival at home, my phone did ring and after saying hello and asking who was calling, the receptionist said she was calling me now after I had a chance to cool down. What professional says this to a potential patient?
Given this last action from the receptionist I thought it best to share my experience so others can avoid this practice and find one which is organized, respectful and professional.

I’ve been coming here for over a year now.
Doc is very good at problem solving and looking for non-​pharma cures for issues. IE: I was having issues with fluid in my lungs — she did some research and told me to take oregaresp — it clearing up in a few weeks and never had another issue.
Her employees are lovely and EXTREMELY helpful. They will literally bend over backwards to accommodate you.
The office:
Is SUPER CLEAN.
Recently renovated and very HIP.
I love this place!

I liked Dr. Adlakha very much but her office is very disorganized.
Some examples:
— Wait time was very long.
— The assistant messed up my blood work and I had to return to get it re-​done.
— I was prescribed the wrong dosage on an ongoing medication — by a huge amount, so much so that my pharmacist refused to fill it because he knew it had to be a mistake. But when I called the office, I had to argue back and forth with the assistant, she refused to believe me and was adamant that the Dr. had prescribed that amount. (It ended up being a typo by the assistant).
— They didn’t process my bill through my insurance wasn’t processed and I received so I got a bill from Barnabas for unpaid services. After I called the office they admitted fault and they were able to take care of it within the afternoon. But I wonder if my credit would have been ruined if I had not called them.
For the short time I was a patient, it was alot of disorganization and headache. Avoid.
