Overall

Do. Not. See. Godiwala. Avoid her at all costs.

Her staff is mediocre (overheard them making fun of clients after getting off the phone with them - really? unprofessional.) just like her interest in actually caring about your health. She is in it for the money. Wait time is usually 15-20 mins for a 5-10 minute appointment. Her office called me after I had a surgery - requesting that I make a follow-up appointment the day after that surgery that I already had a specialist doctor for. No thanks. She tried to prescribe me things I did not need and brushed off things I was concerned about in a rude manner. If you want to get your records, she'll charge you $75+. For anyone dealing with this, use the client website portal to print your records off. In my opinion, they don't care about you unless you're giving them money. Find a doctor who actually cares instead of this woman.

If I could give this place 0 stars, I would.

Overall
Bad patient relations--I had to rate Dr. at least one star, but I would give her none if I could

I would not recommend this Dr. to my worst enemy! Dr. Godiwala does not understand what it means to supply service and to have compasion or understanding to patients.



She has even gone as far as to slander myself (a former pt.) and write untrue things about me. She is un-ethical and unprofessional.



I needed my medical records forwarded to my new Dr. - in another state. When I called to get them her office staff quoted me a $75.00 plus fee to obtain these. I had a total of 5 pages from past visits. I know this because before I moved I had to have records for another reason there in MA. Having once worked for years in the medical field and more important as a medical records specialist, I am aware of patients rights and what is/is not ethical (and legal might I add) to charge a pt. Never more then a $15.00 fee should ever be charged to a pt. and NEVER should a fee be charged to another physician requesting these.



After reporting her office to the medical board in MA, due to no progress with the office and even after indicating to them that I looked up the HIPPA compliance laws for the state of MA and what is and is not legal to charge a pt for records, I was informed that they would drop the complaint and also sent me a letter Dr. Godiwala wrote to them in regards to me.



Mind you the Dr. never once spoke to me directly but yet has the nerve to state that I went off on her office manager, using ubscene language, and hanging up on her on 3 different occasions. I only actually spoke to her office manager one time and the receptionist the other time. Both times I was talking to them from my current employers office in which I had someone in close proximaty of me both times. I have witnesses that will testify to my character that I do not use ubscene language in the first place and that I am a pretty mild tempured person.



I do not appreciate this doctors slanderous words against me- My only objective in reporting her was to help other patients of hers side step this situation. I am not the only one she has tried to over charge for records. My fiance' EX wife was told she would have to pay in excess of $200.00 for her daughters records to take to another Dr.



Dr. Godiwala needs to learn that even though these records exsist in her office, they are the legal property of each individual pt. In the 5 yrs I worked for medical records, the only time we even charged anyone for records is if it was a Law office, workmans comp claim, or if the pt had over 75 pages in thier charts.



Know your rights as a patient, and do not let doctors like Dr. Godiwala take unfair advantage of you.
