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.

My moms visit
The doctor was straight to the point. He lacked the small talk but then again I understand, it was ER and not a regular doctor’s visit.

Best Bedside Manners
Dr. Jayarama took the time to explain my test results to me and really had empathy for me. He gave me reassurance what the next appropriate steps to take. When I followed up with my GP the exact course of action was taken.

Ask for another ER doctor
Dr. Jayarama was my ER doctor in Bellingham, WA in March 2023 at Peace Health hospital (St. Joseph). He didn't handle my case very well. I should have been referred to Harborview immediately which is where I ultimately went. Dr. Jayarama sent me home with a leg brace, prescription, crutches and referral to local Orthopedic. Additionally he was uncaring, short, curt and rude. Bottom line he's unkind and not a good doctor.

Absolutely the worst ER doctor i have ever had the experience of seeing. Can't believe he works at Methodist Hospital. I taken by ambulance to the Methodist Hospital ER with extreme swelling in both legs. Was there for 3 hours and he sent me home and told me to take aspirin. I called my primary doctor on Monday morning since there was no improvement. He admitted me to the hospital immediately. Diagnosis was 6 blood clots in each leg, 1 blood clot in my lung and 1 blood clot in my birds nest filter in my vena cava. Was told that i was close to dying from the clots.

If there is a zero star I would have given it to this doctor. He’s rude careless and know absolutely nothing in medicine. I have no idea how he made it and graduate. As an advice don’t waste your time going to him because you will not benefit from it.

From the moment Dr Krishnaraj introduced himself until Dad's release he give a sense of security & assurance as if he were personally expecting us with a perfect plan. VERY IMPRESSED when he contacted Dad's Neurosurgeon at 7:30 pm on FRIDAY... they discussed the plans for his brain procedure years needed. Impressive becomes impossible after rounding that block so many times for so long each a dead end. numb and hopeless we were just surviving the routine moves. PLEASE PRAY 4 HIM... GOD IS GOOD!

This is the worst ER doctor I have ever seen. If you had a serious medical emergency you would not want to have this doctor attending to you. This doctor does not need to be an emergency room doctor in the medical center. I cannot believe Methodist hospital would even employee this doctor.

Worst ER Doctor. I worked at Methodist for over 20 years and I have never seen anything like this before in my years in the medical field. I have been retired for over 15 years and I'm just shocked at this doctors arrogance and lack of patient care.
