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.

Caring professional!
Dr. Kalyanam made certain that I had clear information and was very understanding, kind and caring! She explained everything in detail, spending quality time with me.

Excellent doctor
Best doctor I have seen in years. She talked to me and seemed to care about my situation. She didn't just prescribe just another pill. She offered realistic suggestions to improve my symptoms. Look forward to seeing her again.

The only thing I did not like was the fact that the time between the lab test and the time I got to see the doctor was too long. My labs were at 10:30, my appointment was at 11:30 and I saw the doctor a little after 12:00.

Dr kalyanam was very professional and caring from the start.I was concerned about my visit but she explained we needed to look at my bloodwork I may only need a change in medication.I took as many tests I had copies of it kept me from repeating tests.It looks like that may be all we need to do.I would recommend her to my family and that says a lot.

Dr Kalyanam is such a nice doctor.
I like that she came to the room right away and already had all the results of my blood work and gave me instructions on what medicines I no longer needed.

Explained to us the test results and informed us of what was needed to try and help with kidney functions. We would most definitely recommend her as a doctor to be used.
