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.

Doctor appears thorough from the three visits I had with him. Office staff is non client friendly/ inefficient. Trying to get documentation consisted of being told nurse will call when it’s ready to pick up yet no phone call was ever received even after three calls for such in a week. Then they were consistent in not knowing how to Bill and I would have to call Riverside Billing To correct and they would sigh and say the office didn’t bill correctly and it’s not that hard. So doctor Is okay but dealing with staff is not worth it to go here to Wburg office.

Dr. Ananthram should be the standard for all physicians. He treated my mother over 15 years with unparalled compassion, humor and expertise. She was a challenging case due to her resistance to healthy habits but he never exhibited frustration with her. In the end, he was deeply apologetic that he had reached an impasse in providing her with a solution. Thank you, Dr. Ananthram for being so patient with her.
