Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Listens closely and knows her stuff. Very patient and knowledgeable. Friendly, great bedside manners. I use the website for questions and she always responds quickly. Follows up in a timely fashion. I am very happy to have her as my PCP.

was a patient since she joined the practice. I left because she and the office became impossible to reach / schedule. Prohealth has fallen to pieces. The staff has been leaving faster than the spread of Covid. Last week called 4X and never got a call back. The last straw was calling and on hold for 20 minutes before someone picked up. I wanted to leave an urgent message and was advised that the Doctor is not in!

Dr Ananda is very knowledgeable and caring physician. Spends time explaining everything and next steps. I have been going to Dr. Ananda for over 15 years. I have recommended this Doctor to many others. They are very happy with her and they speaks very highly of her. Including all my family members are doctor Ananda’s patients. I still remember when I was hospitalized at Northshore in 2004 she treated me very well . Because of her I got well faster..She visited me every single day. Her passion and caring manner is exceptional. She calls back as soon as she receives the test results even after hours. Joanne and Betty her administrative assistants are very kind and speaks very professionally to patients. They always pass the messages to the doctor..You wouldn’t have to wait No more than 10 minutes to be called in to see the doctor. I love this doctor and highly recommends her to others.

My mother recently had a cough with nasal congestion and since the recent outbreak of coronavirus we notified the doctor who was not in the office at the time.Doctor did NOT choose to prescribe medications, just gave us number for a drive thru COVID 19 testing. Throughout the days that we were going through our health scare we made several attempts to contact her but she was unavailable and her staff said to contact her on Monday.The next Monday fortunately my mother's condition improved on its own NO THANKS TO DR. ANANDA.However we did request a work note for my mom's employers since she needed to return to work.Doctor straight out refused to write a note, stated she gave us information for an urgent care center (which she clearly DID NOT).This was the last straw to break the camel's back because we've had many other instances in the past where she was unprofessional and rude.I've seen her scream at my mom and me for questioning her behavior before. We are changing PCPs immediately.

Very rude and tries to force tests on you. The WORST bedside manner I've ever seen. She called & yelled at me, and promptly hung up afterwards. Switching primary Dr ASAP.

Has poor bedside manner. Needs to understand that she can convey her message with out talking down to people. Abrupt in condescending. Made me feel uncomfortable.

Dr. Ananda is very nice and knowledable. However, one of her receptionists was very rude to me on the phone, and spoke to me as if I was 10 years old, very belittling. I asked if I can reschedule an appointment due to being called in for work. She gave me a attitude and then a few weeks later, I received a bill in the mail for a "no show." Completely uncalled for. However, I cannot take away from Dr. Ananda's professionalism. It's just a shame that this experience left me with a bitter taste.
