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.

Dr. K is a very knowledgeable, thoughtful and thorough primary care physician, and I would recommend him to anyone seeking an Internal Medicine specialist.

Outstanding physician, who is extremely well read with current research and medical findings. He listens, but more importantly, hears the patient. Excellent manner and extremely professional. I would and have recommended him to others.

Among all unqualified, incompetent, and dishonest doctors, this guy takes the cake.  I hired him to do an annual check-up and renew my prescriptions.  He entered the room 20 minutes late and spent the entire 15 minutes that I saw him asking me about my experience with previous doctors.  When I tried to talk about my medications, he wanted to replace one of them with a more expensive one that is constantly being advertised on radio and TV, while there are less expensive drugs but with the same components available.  I told him that he and or the clinic that he works for probably are getting some kind of kickbacks from the more expensive drug manufacturer.  I then told him that he was wasting my time and left. He did not do the check-up or renew my prescriptions that I originally hired him to do.  When I read his "after visit" comments on my chart, I noticed that he put down the time that I wasted with him as 40 minutes.  He is very dishonest. I do not recommend him to anyone. Read Less

Dr. Krishnasamy is very knowledgeable and patient. I've been seeing him for a few years and he has helped me personally or took the time to find me the right specialist to refer me to. I'd recommend him to my friends and family.
