Insurances accepted
Baylor Scott & White has established agreements with several types of insurance to ensure your health needs are covered.
Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice.
Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure. Not all members participating in contracted networks have "in network" access. In network participation may change from time to time without prior notice. Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of health care services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372. This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice.

Patients appreciate
Dr. Gurkarminder Sandhu receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from patients, with the vast majority of reviews highlighting her exceptional listening skills and compassionate bedside manner. Patients consistently praise her for taking time to thoroughly answer questions, making them feel heard and understood, and never rushing appointments. Her professionalism, medical knowledge, and ability to explain complex conditions and procedures in understandable terms are frequently mentioned strengths. Many reviewers specifically note her caring demeanor, describing her as kind, friendly, and genuinely invested in their wellbeing. Patients appreciate that she shakes hands, addresses concerns thoroughly, and demonstrates what many describe as "world class customer service." Her ability to think outside the box and solve problems that stumped other physicians is also highlighted, with several patients noting they sought her out for second opinions after negative experiences elsewhere.
Patients also share
While the feedback is predominantly positive, a few areas for improvement emerge from the reviews. One patient felt Dr. Sandhu seemed disengaged during their appointment, as if she had somewhere else to be. Another reviewer noted that while the doctor was nice and listened, they wished for more information about potential underlying causes of their symptoms to help alleviate anxiety, feeling the visit was somewhat quick. One patient mentioned that video/Zoom appointments felt rushed compared to in-person visits, and another commented that there was a "steady stream of talk" requiring them to interrupt to be heard. These concerns about pacing and communication flow appear in a very small minority of reviews but represent opportunities to ensure all patients feel they receive adequate time and information during every interaction.
