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.

Amazing pulmonologist
Dr. Krishna is so compassionate and truly cares about the well-being of all his patients. I would 100% recommend him to anyone I know.

Dr. Krishna has been an excellent doctor providing care for Ruth Marr for over 7 years. Day or night he has personally answered my calls to assist me with caring for my mother. He is The best! And so is his staff. COVID-19 has created many obstacles for us all but Dr. Krishna has taken every measure to ensure his care to all of his patients (and myself as a full time caregiver also!) remains 5 star! Good work - and Thank you Dr. Krishna. We appreciate you so much.

I started seeing Dr. Krishna for COPD due to Radiation scarring but I loved him so much that he agreed to take me on as my primary care physician. I have been with him for years now and wouldn't trade him for anything. This is a doctor that cares and that sees "you". Sometimes it might be a wait but when it is, it's worth it. It is always nice to know that you are cared about. Thank you Dr Krishna, I love you ??

My visit to the office was quick and easy Dr.Krishna is the best doctor he is kind and compassionate he listens. He provides quality care. I highly recommend this doctor. I am healthier because of him. If labs are need, prescription refills or follow up care he makes sure these are done. I trust this doctor with my care and the care of my family members. Dr. Krishna truly is a remarkable doctor and a professional that we respect and trust.

Dr Krishna is the best! He explains everything with patience & understanding. Cares about each patient. Office staff are ALWAYS friendly, courteous, efficient & groomed. There's snacks & coffee in the waiting room ( not like I spend more than 10-30 minutes max) Forms are filled out immediately, appointments are never difficult to obtain. If I need to see him urgently, I'm not turned away. I have a ( legitimate) Service Dog & she's always welcomed by everyone. I have NO clue why anyone would ever have anything negative to say about this kind, compassionate, knowledgeable physician. Wish I'd known I had asthma years ago, I'd have gone to Dr Krishna like my friends & mother did in the 80's!

Dr Krishna has been my doctor since he bought the practice from Dr Choksi in the 80’s. He was my mother’s doctor who had rheumatoid arthritis then mine when I developed Lupus with cerebral complications. He is outstanding, kind, compassionate and I completely trust his judgement. I have worked with him and Dr Chandra for years. I would not go to anyone else in the valley Superior patient care!
