Sidhu Deesh - Raleigh Primary Care Medicine

I have been a patient of Dr. Sidhu for around 5 yrs now and I can't agree with all the negative remarks, but in some instances I feel like the other previous patients were correct in there feelings. At first when I was seeing him I did feel like he was listening to me when I address my various health concerns, so I had to become more direct and agressive with him about my concerns which he immediately attended too. I had at one time considered finding another primary care doctor, but since I address how I felt with him, he has since became the doctor I trusted my health and concerns too. My overall experience with Dr. Sidhu is that I think he is a competed doctor and for the most part is a good, he can be a bit stand offish but not all doctors are the same with there bed side manner, I think his intentions are good, for the most part. His staff is wonderful, they are part of the reason I still see him, this current nurse is very down to earth and easy to talk too, and his front office lady is great she is very good about getting you in for a emergency appt, and she makes me laugh. his office staff is great. I will continue to see him and would recommend him to others as I already have.

My grandfather had been going to Dr. Sidhu for about 3-4 years. He had lost a substantial amount of weight (he's 81 years old) and has problems with his right arm and leg. When he advised Dr. Sidhu of these things Dr. Sidhu told him he wasn't worried about his weight loss and he didn't know about the loss of use in his right arm. My grandfather went to another Dr. to get another opinion and within one week of being at the new Dr. was diagnosed with lung cancer. Because Dr. Sidhu didn't respond to any of my grandfather's concerns the lung cancer went unnoticed for quite sometime. They are now not able to do anything for him. Dr. Sidhu also prescribed something for his heart. When my grandfather went to his heart Dr. that medication was immediately discontinued. I do not feel Dr. Sidhu should be getting any good ratings from anyone. Also, we signed a release form to have my grandfather's records sent to his new Dr. and Dr. Sidhu's office did not and still has not released them.

I saw Dr. Sidhu a couple weeks ago and was unimpressed with the staff and with Sidhu overall. I was diagnosed with an ulcer and asked Sidhu about the causes of ulcers. He stated that stress is a cause of ulcers and suggested yoga (despite considerable medical agreement that the cause is H.pylori bacteria). He prescribed amoxicillin, which suggests he is well aware of the bacterial cause (rather than stress). After taking amoxicillin for a week, I broke out in a terrible rash. I called Sidhu for advice about whether or not I should discontinue taking the medication. When I asked him my question, he abruptly stated, "I never saw you in my office. You have the wrong doctor," and would not advise. I'm supposed to see him this week but will cancel obviously. A bad experience overall.

Although it has been awhile since I saw Dr. Sidhu, having used his services extensively for both of my elderly parents, he was absolutely wonderful, as was his staff. He was very methodical and cared greatly for his patients. I would choose Dr. Sidhu over any other primary care physician in Raleigh/Cary.

I've been going to Dr. Sidhu for years and have always had a great experience. He's a doctor that truly cares for his patients and will make sure you leave his office feeling much better. He also has a very cheerful office staff that welcomes you. I couldn't imagine going to any other internist. I don't know what kind of grudge Nicholas B has against him but don't believe anything he wrote. I have referred countless friends and family members to Dr. Sidhu and not once has anybody told me about having a bad experience. If you want to have the best experience at physician's office, go see Dr. Sidhu.

I've been going to Dr. Sidhu for years. I've had the opposite experience as the other reviewer - he has correctly diagnosed all of my problems when other doctors missed problems. He asks a lot of questions and in my opinion is very good at figuring out what is wrong. He also knows who the good specialists are in town if you need more specific medical help like I did. He also takes Blue Cross insurance and you don't have to submit a claim on your own.

Recently had an appointment with Dr. Balwinder - and I can NOT recommend him to anyon else. It was the worse experience I have ever had a physician's office. He was rude (in my opinion) and can not speak good English at all! I was not impressed by his bed side manners or by his diagnostic skills. And a FINAL insult to injury. He does NOT take insurance! You have to pay up frint and submit to your own carrier! What an experience.
