Patient Reviews
Sep 26, 2018
Dr. Gulati is a blessing to my mother. Her prior Nephrologist was cold and made us feel like there was no hope for my mother (82), who has been in stage III-IV for over 27+ years. When Dr. Gulati read my mother's chart, he was able to identify "what else" we could do. His bedside matter is impeccable. He took his time with my mother. He listened. Asked her relevant questions. Got her involved. Gave her hope that he would use/do everything in his expertise to care for her. PRICELESS!!
