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 Dr and great communicator
Dr Krishnaswamy is not only a uniquely talented doctor but he is also a very good communicator. He listened to what was important to me and took the time to explain and answer all of my questions so I felt comfortable every step of the way. He not only reassured me through a very complex and challenging life situation, but he was kind and compassionate toward my family members, too. I am very fortunate that Dr. Krishnaswamy was in charge of my care. He is an all around great doctor and great person.

In 2013, I was told by my local Cardiologist nothing could be done to correct the (botched) blocked, collapsed and imbedded stint that was going to take my life. Made an appointment with Dr Krishnaswamy and with a 2 hour procedure opening and stinting the blockage, I am still alive, pushing 80 yrs old and am leading a productive and happy life, thanks to him.
