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.

Dr. S is kind, genuinely caring, patient, has really guided/helped me with healthy decisions, and always asks/listens to any questions/concerns I may have!

Dr. Shanmugan is very friendly and easy to reach. She was my medical examiner for immigration paperworks. Her wisdom to foresee what future needs for immunization allowed the processing of my papers to be done on time. She also allowed me to use my own health insurance for laboratory work-up and vaccinations i needed, making me save a lot from extra expense. She has a very accommodating and reliable staff as well. Her clinic is so safe and clean. Thank you, Dr. Shanmugan!

My mother and I were so happy to find Dr. Shanmugam waiting for us at the end of a long & difficult journey. Finding a doctor who could make my elderly mother feel comfortable was hard. Dr. S took the time to really talk with mom. And this time mom actually dod everything according to Dr. S’s instructions. Why? She liked her so much she didn’t want to disappoint her. We’ve found a perfect match
