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.

My husband had an acute kidney injury following high coronary artery bypass graft. Next thing we know Dr. Swaminathan is billing for Chronic Kidney Disease without any additional testing to confirm it was indeed a chronic issue. Definitely suspicious and shady.

Dr. Swaminathan has horrible bedside manner. I would not recommend that he treat anyone. He is deceitful and a liar. He told my husband that he would need two dialysis sessions to get rid of a small amount of fluid in his heart. The next day, my husband found out he would be started on dialysis until he got a kidney. He did not listen to my husband’s request and told him what he wanted to hear and put him on dialysis anyway.
