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.

One of the best !
I have a very rare condition - OWR disease, but Dr. Vishnu was up to the task !. I couldn’t have asked for better.

Unprofessional doctor
One of the worst doctors I’ve ever encountered—completely unprofessional and dismissive. He barely listened to my concerns. He took no responsibility to how he treated me. I would never recommend him to anyone looking for a compassionate and respectful doctor.

Exellent clinician

Dr. Vishnu and his team were very polite. Dr. Vishnu explained everything well and listened and asked us questions. His bed side manner is spot on. We would recommend him to anyone in need. We are grateful he is our doctor along with his team, from the front desk to the labs.

Awful experience
I did not have a good experience with this doctor. The appointment felt rushed and they did not respect my time. I found his scheduling staff difficult to work with. He did not show empathy or concern. There were some mistakes which his care team made and he did not take ownership of them.

Dishonest doctor
Sorry to write such a review but I’ve not met a more dishonest doctor. He was very short tempered and arrogant. He almost cost me my life due to all the mistakes he made and he made me feel like I was too much for him to take on. The way he treated me was beyond hurtful. I’m not sure he was even that interested in helping me in the first place. I hardly leave bad reviews especially for health care providers but I left his office in complete tears with how rude he was to me.

Not a good experience
I saw Dr Vishnu after transferring care from out of state. I had records from my previous oncologist which he failed to look over. I had real concerns about my lab work and imaging and he was completely dismissive. I left this visit with more questions than I came in with. He said his nurse would call me to set up the next visit and she never did. Needless to say I did not push for a second visit and found a different oncologist. Maybe he was just rushed that day as my appointment started 40 minutes late, but he just made me feel like I was wasting his time.
