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.

Great Doctor
Dr Chandrasekaran is the best doctor I ever had. Very preventive. She may not sugar coat anything for you, but she is on top of your health. She no longer accepts my insurance and I have been having a hard time finding a new doctor to replace her. If you are looking for a knowledgeable doctor, she is the one.

Horrible bedside manner
This doctor has been my primary care physician for a few years (not by choice). She's always "standoffish" every time I go for an appointment as if she doesn't have her own health issues... Her new medical assistant is not helpful either.

Dr. Chandrasekaran is a gem. I don't have to wait weeks to see her, it is really convenient to reach her and is easy to talk to. I changed insurance plans to one she does not accept. Now I'm looking for an affordable plan that she accepts. Everyone in the office is friendly and helpful.

Knowledgeable, competent, and professional. No nonsense. Gets the job done, and knows the best specialists should you need a referral.

Dr. Chandrasekaran was a terrible doctor to my wife and I. She said that I had high blood pressure and never discussed it with me. Later, I requested my records and I found that she had documented that I need medication for high Cholesterol. She is bad doctor and I feel that she wants you to be sick and stay sick.

She is a horrible dr. She started off by using the wrong size blood pressure cuff and so got a very high blood pressure reading. I told her that that was very unusual for me - I usually have normal blood pressure. She decided there was something wrong with my heart and ran an EKG (which was normal) and sent me to a cardiologist who told me I was completely normal. All of this was extremely expensive which meant I didn't have enough money to do the carpal tunnel surgery - why I had come to her.
