Purnima S Adlakha

Very unhappy with this doctor. Very brief, short tempered with her staff in front of me. She wanted to put me on BP med based on the first visit reading and wouldn't believe me that it's never high. Then she starts me on other meds but I can't get a refill bc they just don't respond to the requests! So now I'm OFF this important med. Showed up for a visit today and was turned away bc I couldn't pay the amount due left from insurance. So I walked home in the rain, no refills, short of breath due to ongoing bronchitis. Now what? Also, the office exam rooms are dirty.

My mother comes to see this doctor and I always come with her for translation, and she is VERY unprofessional not a pleasant person at all she has no empathy for her patient’s every time my mother tells her she has a concern she brushes it under the rug and is always in such a rush to get thru the appointment and it has been multiple times that this has happened. We will be finding a different provider never coming back here again.

She has a big problem communicating with her patients. She is unfriendly. My CPAC had a recall and she did nothing. I asked her to refer me for a colonoscopy, because it was almost 5 years. I have a positive polyp history and she did nothing. I called multiple times but she didn't answer. I am a psychologist and I know that she treated me very rudely and I felt sad seeing people who do not love their profession and are only there for the money.

It was a very comfortable ,the staff is very co operative . I am fully satisfied with my doctor

Dr. Adlakha is a wonderful human being and a great health care provider. I have been under her care for almost 10 years and I know how some people may think she is dismissive, but that's not the case. She is bit fast in knowing your condition with her long experience. Often when we are sick, it affects our psyche and we feel we are not having our 45 minutes counseling session but she is a doctor not a psychologist. She is a great doctor.

Very unprofessional staff. I have tried calling during hours of operation just to have my phone call directed to voice mall. is now after hours contact in case of urgency. The Dr is not good at listening to the patients, has no bedside manner, and has misdiagnosed on a few occasions.

she is the best

In my perspective shes a good doctor and yes she might have a negative attitude but quite frankly you dont know what she might of been through that shes this way also you probably dont know her personally to be relating this about her.

Dr Adlakha is very good with type 2 diabetes. She has helped me with some challenges over the past ten years. I am not a brittle diabetic, but could have been without her management and counselling. Was diagnosed at 49 years old.

I have been seeing Dr Adlakha for a few years now. She has a somewhat cold bedside manner, but she has helped me through a number of health conditions that I have recovered from successfully. She definitely pushes meds for everything, but she listens to me when i say no i am not taking them. Overall the best doctor i have found in my area who accepts Masshealth.

I feel that all 5-star comments below were left by Dr Purnima herself. Rude, won't listen to her patient, dismisses all health concerns if you are 50< y.o. knows more about her billing then about health conditions and treatment options. I'm pretty sure when you tell her "I experience this and this" - she walks out and googles the answer, because the results match just too well... but Google explains it better!

Rude, dismissed my health concern because "young adults don't have health problems". The treatment options I've "squeezed" out of that visit were on the level of CVS over the counter "may I help you find anything" store clerk at best.

My husband left after one year. She is a very rude woman. Dismisses your opinion, always pushing the scripts and you are non compliant in her documention if you refuse a medication based on your own informed choice. Her staff is wonderful and friendly but she has a contemtous way about her that blocks any possibilty of a therapeutic relationship.

She. Is. Rude! Doesn't listen to concerns. I can't believe people give her 5 stars. I think they may be patients of hers for many years. Her clinical skills and attitude are terrible. She pushes the pills and documents you non-compliant if you make an educated choice to refuse the script. My husband was a new pt 2019 and he dreaded his office visits. She doesn't have any interpersonal skills and that would be fine because he wasn't there to make friends, but she acts downright mean and angry. But.... Her office workers are wonderful people, very courteous. That's the only good thing i can say.

She is incredible, she listens to me, she takes incredibly good care of me. And I would, and I do, tell my friends about her and her incredible staff.

Can be helpful always seemed focused on my BMI. Lost 40 lbs and she kept calling me obese. I weight train was in my best physical shape ever but she focused on BMI. Decided to change doctors. Plus always asked why are you here. I would tell her staff called me.

I've been with Dr. Adlakha for many years. Dr. is very caring and takes time to listen to you. i can say that I've never felt rushed by the Dr. The waiting time sometimes is long (30 to 45 min.) although we (patients) have no idea what concerns the patient that is with Dr. at the time is dealing with. I trust her guidance and respect her. V
