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. Kanakasabai Narasimhan truly cares about his patients! He in very concerned about his patients continued test results. If you follow his guidance your health will improve. I am a type 1 diabetic and confident Dr. Narasimhan is the doctor for me. I have had many nice doctors. My well being is top priority. The questions asked and his comments are deeply appreciated. I do my best to stay healthy and having Dr. Narasimhan as my Endocrinologist makes such a difference in my A1C! His staff greets you with a smile and his nurse & lab assistant are top notch. I look forward to my next appointment knowing sometimes he may make a suggestion and I must ultimately do my very best to stay on target. ?

I have seen Dr. Narasimhan for the past few years for parathyroid issues. He is pleasant, easy to talk to, knowledgeable and concerned about his patients. He referred me to a surgeon for removal of a diseased parathyroid gland. When I went for the visit a different surgeon saw me and was extremely rude. I reported the visit to Dr. Narasimhan. He contacted the surgeon's office and told them that his patients were to see the surgeon he referred them to and no one else. He followed up with me after my surgery to see if there were improvements in my symptoms. The staff is friendly, helpful and wait times are short. I would recommend Dr. Narasimhan to anyone needing an endocrinologist.

Ultrasound on first visit, returned 2nd visit to do a biopsy and after prepping for biopsy, Dr. Narasimhan realized he did not have the right needle to take biopsy and said I would have to reschedule with a hospital. Very concerned that I have to continue my wait for appointment now that it is over two months and uncertain on result and future possible treatment.

I visited Dr. Kanakasabai Narasimhan for first time recently. Office staff was great and efficient! I asked the Doctor few questions and he answered all of them professionally. He didn't ask me any question except how long I have been diabetic. After 15 minutes he got up from his seat as if to end the appointment. I continued asking questions and he sat down. After 5 minutes he got up and opened the door and the appointment was over, which was rude and weird. I would have spent around 20 minutes with him totally. There was no smile/warmth and he was stiff and behaved as if he was doing me a favor. I wouldn't recommend him at all to anyone. Also I am not going to visit their office again based on my experience.

It's not easy to find an endocrinologist. But I found 3 in my new area of Charlotte and surrounding area. The first was not for me, the second left the area, and then I struck gold. I am so happy to feel confident in this caring and energetic specialist. Staff is great and they even recently called me on a Sunday to give me my negative biopsy results!! My husband couldn't believe it either. Thank you Dr N and staff!

The Doctor is great. The scheduling needs help.Many times you will call and a voice recorder will come on.it states that they are closed today.now this is on a scheduled work day. Heaven forbid you forget your meter ,they will not see you. Regardless of you are out of medicine or not. That is why I left a 3 star only.
