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.

Disability review
I don’t know what her report will say. She was friendly at first. She asked me during the ten minutes we had together if I was taking drugs because my eyes were red. I wish I had asked for a drug test. I was in shock. I just don’t feel good. No doctor has been able to figure me out including Mayo Clinic. I have a long list of diagnoses that fit many of my issues, but not all. When the appointment ended she said I don’t know how I am to give a disability when there is no diagnosis. I have about 20, but shouldn’t disability be based on whether the person can do the tasks you ask them to do? What are their limitations? What are their abilities? I went away so shocked and confused that I was treated like this. I hope things turn out ok.

I went to Dr. Danushkodi for pain I was having in my feet. She did a EMG/nerve test and gave me a diagnosis. She recommended medication and some lab tests and It has helped me tremendously. Would highly recommend.

Amazing, Caring & Compassionate Doctor. I've been to multiple doctors that haven't listened to my concerns and didn't think I would ever get relieve of my back pain, until I went to see Dr. D, she is amazing and really listens to my concerns. Highly recommend

I have been seeing Dr. Danushkodi for many years for my back problems. She has always treated me kind and helped me as much as she can with my situation. I would highly recommend her. I read the review of Carolyn who complained about everything. I find it hard to believe she saw this doctor and is complaining. I have been to many others before seeing Dr. Danushkodi and she is by far the best. Sounds like Carolyn is unhappy because she didn't get her pain meds.

The worst Dr I've seen in my 61yrs of life, and I have seen a few over the years. She was very disrespectful, clueless and very, very rude. I could go on, but won't. I usually do not leave poor reviews. I let it go. I am a nice, respectful, kind person and try to find the best in everyone I meet. However, the visit was so bad, I would be doing a disservice to anyone looking for a good phyisiatrist. Research for and find a different dr.

Injected Botox which so far has stopped the constant stabbing pain in my upper back and neck.
