She gets much joy in caring for those who are in need, and is known for her loving and compassionate bedside manners, especially when caring for the elderly. Her clinical emphasis is on managing hypertension and heart disease. Outside of work Dr Jaiswal enjoys spending time with family and friends.
“I don’t usually leave reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience. The majority of the staff are consistently rude, despite me always treating them with kindness and respect.
I kept returning solely because of my doctor, Dr. Ashitey, who I love. However, since she was booked until May, I had to see Dr. Jaiswal. After waiting an hour and a half, she dismissed my concerns as a mental issue rather than addressing them professionally. As a Black woman, this kind of dismissal in medical settings is unfortunately all too familiar.
When I pointed out that she had filled out my paperwork incorrectly, she denied it and sent nurses in to further dismiss me. One nurse was particularly unprofessional — redirecting the conversation to her own issues instead of addressing my concerns.
I will not be returning to this office. It’s a shame, because one great doctor shouldn’t be surrounded by this level of unprofessionalism.”
