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.

Excellent Physician
Dr. Venkatakrishna is very relatable and thorough in explaining test and lab results and the plan moving forward. He has a friendly and professional disposition. He is an excellent physician. His nurse and staff are always caring and very friendly!

Informative, involved
I have been seeing Dr. Venkat since 2019. He is very informative and quick to respond. He and his staff (Lori) are always very friendly when I see them and quick to answer any questions I have. I would recommend him to anyone. I know I'm in good care with Dr. Venkat and Lori helping me.

I felt he was rude. He was great at asking questions but didn’t want any explanations. Kept cutting me off. I waited 35 minutes in room waiting for him.

Dr. Venkat never makes me feel like he needs to rush through my appointment to get to his next patient. He also makes sure that I fully understand his diagnosis and expectations. He will do his part as my doctor and I must do my part in promoting a healthy lifestyle so that I can experience a healthy future. He says it like it is, but compassionately. Thank you Dr. Venkat for supporting me on my road to good health.

Didn't read report from previous nephrologist. Thought I was already in treatment for a cancer that affects kidneys. Thought I hadn't been there for a year on my second visit (had actually been 3 months).
