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.
Pediatrician for both my children and we’ve been going to her for 15 years. She’s great with the kids. My kids adore her.

Dr.Venkatesan was my doctor growing up and i loved how personal she treats you. She treats your child like one of her own. That is why i decided to bring my first child to her. She will help me with all my questions.

I have been bringing my children here since there were born. My oldest son is now 18 years old. So she has been knowing my family for that many years. I could not imagine my children going to any other doctor. We love her and she feels like family to us.

I'm always greeted with a smile as my children and I arrive for an appointment. We are seen in a timely manner. The staff is knowledgeable of why we are being seen and they are also respectful. The office is very clean and there is enough seats to sit in. Overall, I enjoy coming here and I recommend any parent to have their child to be seen here.
