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.

Just a Number
As a new patient for Dr Seema's team, we found the whole experience appalling, and felt like a number as opposed to a human. For my wife who has had multiple miscarriages leading into our first appointment, I can't begin to imagine the lack of support one would feel during one of the most stressful periods in her life.

Did not ask before inserting her whole hand in vagina many times during delivery. Some methods are outdated or against current research.

My life was ruined when Dr Venkatachalam performed a csection on me that has left me with permanent dibilitating pain and nerve damage. She’s a very nice sweet woman and a friendly doctor that needs to find a new profession. My pain was dismissed as being “normal” and “just needing to let it heal” when in reality I knew immediately something was really wrong and the surgery had been botched. Don’t see her unless you want your body irreparably damaged.

Dr. Vencatachelam delivered my second child. She is the best doctor in this practice. I had a c section and she came into the operatory and she had me lean on her and she rubbed my knees while the anesthesiologist did my spinal. She didn't have to do this but I thought it was so kind of her to do for me. She is so kind and comforting. She is very professional and friendly.

Dr. V delivered one of my children and I switched my care to her permanently after seeing her in action. She did a wonderful job of monitoring my unborn child, kept a very close eye and explained areas of concern without causing me to freak out. She was amazing and supportive and I love that she gives me a hug like we're girlfriends whenever I'm in for my annual exam. She is a perfect combination of warm and technically proficient while treating the whole patient.
