3 reviews for Sunita Jain, MD
Being forced to change doctors because of a change of insurance is scary because you never know what you might get.
Luckily, my dermatologist referred me to Dr. Jain.
If you are looking for one of those doctors who come in, greet you by name but then only look at your chart (instead of at you), don't listen to your questions and then rush you out the door....well, then Dr. Jain is not the doctor for you.
In my appointments with Dr. Jain I have found her to be warm, personable, pragmatic and pro-active. I was having a medical condition that was unusual and she got to the bottom of it with a few visits and a couple of lab tests.
She is easy to talk to and is no-nonsense. She does not give you the courtesy 5 minutes and then the bum's rush out the door.
If you are are looking for a doctor you may want to give her a whirl.
Patients beware: This physician has a hard time admitting she is wrong, which is scary because she doesn't necessarily have all the correct information.
Wow. I went to see Jain as my primary physician and she was great at the first visit: she made sure I was up to date on all my tests and such.
That's where it all fell apart. It turned out that I had a lump in my breast. From there she was distant, combative, and dismissive when I tried to discuss my diagnostic options. Not only did she NOT know about various diagnostic options, she insisted I was wrong when I brought them up. It got to the point where I had to insist that she call the radiologist who she referred me to to confirm that there were, in fact, several different options that I could take. When she returned, instead of apologizing for not being current and for repeatedly telling me that I was wrong, she simply stated: "This is not working out."
I'm curious if she takes this attitude with her other patients: Getting rid of them when she doesn't know all the answers.
Had I followed her advice, I would have been diagnosed with a method that would not have been able to locate the lump with the dangerous possibility of a bad biopsy.
I have since filed a grievance with my insurance company regarding her and with the California medical licensing board to ensure that she gets continuing education.
If you are happy with her, at least do some research on your own to make sure you are aware of all your options because she will not necessarily know about them.
One of my chief complaints about doctors is that they can be difficult to talk with or render medical judgments without clear explanations. I want to know what has gone into their diagnosis and why the treatment was chosen, what to expect during treatment, and what other options may be.
I give Doctor Jain four stars because she is a great communicator and has a friendly professional manner. My wife and I both like her work, she is easy to talk to and is no-nonsense. She has always been courteous and professional and helpfully works to help us with whatever issues we are having.
Dr. Jain has been our physician for a couple years now - her office is near Howe and Fair Oaks in a medical building on Cadillac Dr. if you are on Blue Shield here in Sacramento and are looking for a doctor you may want to give her a try.
