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 doctor. He spends time, listens, and keeps you informed after tests. Highly recommend

He is a great doctor and listens to his patients. He has always answered my questions on mychart, and he has called in prescriptions when I have been sick and could not get an appointment.

I really, really like Dr. Kandaswamy however his office staff are not great. They aren't that friendly and they certainly do not have any interest in the time you spend waiting even when they request you come in early for an appointment. If I could visit him in another location I would drive the distance to avoid the Newnan staff.

I love Dr. K! After several months of a tightness in my chest Dr. K helped me get to the bottom of it and I was diagnosed with asthma. He has been super helpful in finding medications that work, and helping me get them at affordable prices when my insurance didn't want to cover or listed meds at a high tier. Great nurses and office staff. Love this practice!!
