This Dr. told me that she isn’t my Google to answer my questions. Can you believe that? What a Dr. to say that to her patients? I have a couple of friends that go to her office and they said that she so wired the way she answered questions. Anyway, I will never recommend her to anyone. Whoever is asking me about her that what I tell them do not ask a question to her. If so, she would say that to you “ I am not your google “! 🤮

I have a complicated medical history, including an eating disorder, therefore I do not get weighed when I visit any medical professional. This is not abnormal at all, and no practitioner in the last five years I’ve suffered with the disease has EVER questioned my decision to not be weighed. They have all been extremely supportive. I had one practitioner ask if it would be okay to do a blind weight (where the patient turns around, or the weight is covered from view), and then made sure that it was not visible to me on my paperwork. Dr. Thanapathy Arasu insisted that in order to treat me, she absolutely had to have my weight. When I asked if she could do the weight without my seeing it, she said she wouldn’t make any considerations on my behalf. When I asked her why, she claimed it was because she had to have an accurate BMI. Which is widely accepted to be an inaccurate measure of health or body composition. Her assertion had no basis in medical necessity.

This woman should not be practicing medicine - if you care about your health, find another practitioner.
She was generally dismissive during intake, and not very pleasant, which didn’t make her a terrible doctor, just poor bedside manner, which I can deal with if I’m getting quality care.

I asked if there was any way she could help me. She outright refused to treat me, and went so far as to say to my face that she won’t treat someone who withholds information - as though I was intentionally trying to be ‘difficult’ - and walked out. Absolutely NO empathy for my health history, and certainly no quality of care.
Her receptionist apologized on her behalf several times, so she clearly knows this is an issue and/or this has happened before.
Find yourself a caring provider who has your best interests at heart, you deserve better than this practitioner.

Dr Thanapathy is an excellent OB-GYN doctor for my wife and she delivered our son 40 years ago. I am sharing my very positive outcome with the PRP (Platelets Rich Plasma) injections that Dr. Thanapathy administered for my right knee osteoarthritis condition, that got worse with a Tennis knee injury, six months ago.
I have been playing USTA Tennis league matches for the past 40 years. For the past 2 years I have been been playing Pickleball and Golf one a week, prior to the injury.
When I consulted with my Orthopedic surgeon regarding my knee injury, he recommended a total knee replacement.
I contacted Dr. Thanapathy since I wanted to pursue other non surgical options.
Over the past 6 months, she administered 3 PRP shots, My knee condition improved with each shot. My gait has improved with no limping. I still have some knee stiffness and discomfort while coming down the stairs.
Now I wear knee braces and I am back to playing doubles Tennis, Pickleball and Golf once week.
If you have sports injuries and want to pursue non surgical options, I highly recommend consulting with Dr. Thanapathy.

Dr. Thanapathy is great. She is super knowledgeable and personable. She helped me with an issue that I’ve been dealing with elsewhere for a couple years, and has given me treatment options others never thought of or considered. Highly recommend.

I wish I could give no stars! I was a patient for a few years. only because watson was the only other OBGYN in gilroy (and he isn't so great either) that accepted my insurance... A few visits in her office her bedside manner is non existent. Any question i asked was answered in a rude manner as if i was her child and she was annoyed by the question. once i told her of a spot i had pain and said i thought i had something and she replied with "you're not a doctor so don't diagnose yourself!" very snarky.
one visit she didn't inform me that she was no longer accepting my insurance and she went through with the appointment anyway. no forewarning and i had been billed more that $700. how do you not inform you patients you no longer accept their insurance?!
i suggest going out of town. these doctors are not worth trying out.

Long story short. Find some other place to go to. Save yourself the time and money. I'd say overall this place was 100% not worth it. The doctor was very kind though

My son is over-weight so that he attended Dr. Thanapathy's Ozempic weight loss program. Dr. Thanapathy educated my son the general strategies of weight control (diet, exercising, supplements, life style) in additional to Ozempic injection treatment. Dr. Thanapathy is kind, knowledgeable and treats patient nice and respect. Please ignore the negative comments in this website about her, you will never regret if you decide to meet her.
