Sunita Jain, MD

I switched insurances and had to locate a doctors office in my neighborhood and I found Dr. Sunita Jain reviews online. I wanted a to find a doctors office I could get an appointment with same day if I were sick. I read the reviews and I thought I would give her a shot. Upon arrival the office wasn’t difficult to find, plenty of parking, and the front desk staff was professional. My wait was about 10 mins before I was taken back and once in the exam room I waited another 5 mins for the doctor to come in. My last doctor would have me in the waiting room for 30+ mins. He always over booked himself and then you would wait another 30 mins in the exam room. I was happy with my wait times. Dr. Jain walked through the door and was very polite and kind. She listened to my medical history and seemed concerned about my well being. She didn’t rush me. Nor did she take too much time with me either, she’s not a therapist, I personally wanna be in and out of a doctors office especially when I am sick. Everything went well and I was very happy with my visit.
Last month I had my physical and I had the chance to see Dr. Jain again and my thoughts have not changed about her. I felt that she still cared about my health. She even called me with my blood results to go over everything within a couple days. My last doctor always forgot to call or he would try to get me in for an appointment to go over labs and bill my insurance. I like that she is straight to the point and caring at the same time.

I just can’t believe the above reviews from the experience I just had. It was horrible. I really was hoping for a dr who listens and cares about my health concerns. But I also asked for a referral to a thyroid specialist in my area since I don’t have one. When I mentioned that she basically just shoved me out. She snickered when I talked about things that were a concern. And is she too proud? To have me see two drs? Why would that matter I still wanted to talk to her about other health issues I was having and she addressed none of them. My health has taken a major turn for the worst lately and this is why I give up because of drs like her.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Jain for years now concerning a cornucopia of ailments both nameable and unnameable in a public forum. Whatever the issue, Dr. Jain has always been there to provide a remedy in a timely fashion. You’ll read in many reviews that she is to the point, no nonsense, doesn’t beat around the bush. All these things are true, but they come from a little woman who also has a real friendly attitude. Don’t take her willingness to get right to the point as her wanting to rush through the process. It just means you’ll spend less time small talking and more time getting to the root of the problem.
Her office staff is also friendly and willing to accomodate you. If your sick and need attention quickly, they’ll get you in within a day.

I would highly recommend Dr. Jain to be your physician.
I think Dr. Jain is great! And that’s coming from someone who has seen a lot of Dr.‘s in my time… She is to the point but is always willing to listen and answer any questions you might have. She is professional and thorough. She is also surprisingly funny.
I’m impressed with the office staff so far. That is usually my beef with other Dr.‘s I’ve had: crappy front office made for a crappy experience.
I was sick last week and got a same day appt. and excellent treatment! If you are looking for an bad-​ass doctor who listens and is great at putting your health first, then go and see Dr. Jain! River Oaks is a top notch medical group! Thank you Dr. Jain and River Oaks Medical Group!

I was very disappointed with my experience with Dr. Jain. Maybe she was having a bad day, but I was not happy with how things went at all. I came to her office with concerns regarding my health and she seemed very detached. She didn’t ask me very many questions or really get to know my health/​body at all. She seemed much more focused on what was going on outside the exam room than what was going on with me as her patient. She came in with a bad attitude and left the room immediately after her introduction. She then left the door open, and proceeded to go yell at her receptionists for scheduling an appointment at the wrong time. I don’t expect perfection from anyone, especially in the stressful position of a physician. However, I do expect professionalism, and this visit was horrific. She had an attitude from the moment she walked in the exam room. I will not be returning to her office, and I will not be recommending her to any of my friends. This was such a disappointment for me. I saw excellent reviews on here and gave her a try and the professionalism just wasn’t there. Very, very disappointing.

I love Dr. Jain. She has been my primary doctor for the past seven years. She is to the point but in the same way your best friend would be. She is professional, funny, comforting and always offers great suggestions or treatments. When I call and leave a message for her nurse about a particular Rx, question or referral, its not uncommon for Dr. Jain to contact me directly in between her busy schedule which I really appreciate. I am shocked at the negative reviews. I am not sure what people expect out of their doctors… a back rub and some Enya playing the background? If you are looking for that kind of office, look else where. If you are looking for an excellent doctor who listens and is great at putting your individual health matters into perspective, Dr. Jain is your woMAN!

Dr. Jain is a wonderful doctor — she asks plenty of questions, takes time to explain what is going on, and always follows up. Plus, when I just need to get a prescription renewed, I can call it in and stop by to pick it up on the way home. I can echo all of the other comments from positive posters, but I’ll just say that Dr. Jain is my idea of a great doctor.

Dr. Jain (pronounced ‘Jan’) is the best doctor I’ve ever had. As a 28-​year old man, I always seem to have too much going on in my life to try and fit a doctors appointment in as well. Having Dr. Jain as my PCP for the last few years, however, has actually made me more conscious of my own health and my need for routine checkups. I think the primary reason that I’ve been staying on top of things (besides her patience, sense of humour, or professionalism) is the level of comfort she provides. She’s not overbearing, she doesn’t throw a pill into our mouth for every little thing, and she’s willing to work with you to find your best treatment options.
Only recently have I had issues with getting certain forms filled out in a timely manner, and I’ve had a few communication gaps and issues with the office staff, but this review is solely based on my interactions with Sunita.
I would (and do) recommend this doctor to anyone looking for a primary care physician and/​or an internal medicine specialist.

I am also going to warn prospective patients to BEWARE. I saw Dr. Jain about 2 years ago from the referral of a friend. My first visit went well. But, when I really needed an understanding, compassionate Dr. that is where everything went downhill. I had to go into the emergency room on a Friday (on the advice of Dr. Jains office because they don’t have same day appts) for a severe headache. I was diagnosed with a sinus infection, given medication and sent home. My condition got worse over the weekend and I had to go into the emergency room 2 more times. A CT scan was run, I had a spinal tap done to detect for meningitus, massive amounts of bloodwork, etc. I couldn’t walk, my vision was blurry. First thing on Monday I contacted Dr. Jain’s office and briefly gave an account of my situation, they wouldn’t see me for 4 days. When I went in for my appt the nurse said «oh, so you have a sinus infection?» I calmly said «no». When Dr. Jain came in I could tell that she was detached and absolutely without empathy to my situation, she even seemed irritated. She gave me a physical, just to go through the motions of pretending to do her job. She told me there was nothing she could do that the emergency room Drs hadn’t done already. I was furious that I had wasted four days to get a lackluster «I can’t help you» response. I get the impression that she either likes you or doesn’t and unfortunately I was on the bad list. I called around to other Drs. got an appt next day as a new patient (with Dr. Robert Tang — who is great) was sent to a neurologist the next week and was finally diagnosed with migranes. Bottom line is Dr. Jain just didn’t care and didn’t want to work at solving my medical problem

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.
