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. Shankaran is an excellent doctor. She came highly recommended to me by friends. She was so easy to talk to and explained all the answers to my questions. She is extremely thorough with pre and post care. I leave there every time telling my family and friends that I just love her and what has done for me. I will definitely recommend her to anyone of my friends or family. She did a great job and is very sweet. It's also good to note that her nurse is the best! She is so sweet and caring!

Dr. Shankaran explained every aspect of my procedure. She listened to my questions and provided plain language answers. I thought she was great. She might want to speak with her staff about how to respond when a patient comes up to the counter. The day I visited, there were two ladies sitting up front talking, obviously in a training situation. However, I had to interrupt the conversation to find out how to check-in because neither acknowledged my presence.

Dr. Shankaran was awesome. She answered all my questions and addressed all of my concerns. I'm having a keloid removal by her on the 22nd and the way she does it is genius.

Extremely sweet. Very informative and polite. Addresses all my concerns. Explained the process and was very professional. My only complaint was the wait time, 40+ min.
