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.

Professional service, very knowledgeable and gives time to patients explains with details and he is very patient listening.

I like Dr. Sivakumar. I like to make my own decisions instead of listening to what a doctor says. This doctor was thorough, cared and took time with me telling me why I would want to do a procedure or take a medication. I am thankful that he did because I was able to buy into following his directive which I needed to do. The wait times are a little much but it is well worth the wait because he spent the needed time with me.

Very thorough and compassionate. I've been going to him for over 25 yrs and I love and trust him. Yes, there is sometimes a wait for him and I know that he is stuck at the hospital comforting patients that need it more!

I was scheduled for Colon procedure on Friday June 28 at St Rose hospital at 9:00 and report by 0800. I reported at 7;15 to check in and was processed and sent upstairs to pre-op at about 7:40. Nurses gotten prepared and hooked everything immediately to prepare me for my procedure. At 9:00 I asked how everything was moving toward my procedure and got affirmative answers that everything was on schedule. I lay in bed for another hour question ing where was the doctor and found out nobody knew where he was and it was still not known where the doctor was. He had not contacted anyone about his whereabouts. At this time I told the nurses to release me as I was mot waiting any longer. I told the pre-op nurse and the check in desk that I was leaving. They still didn’t know where the doctor was. I left the hospital and have not heard from anyone including the doctor what happend. Will not have any dealings with Dr SIVAKUMAR AGAIN.

Dr. Sivakumar is the best. He is compassionate, polite, and he takes the time to ensure that his patient understands what is happening. Thanks to Dr. Sivakumar he located, removed, and prevented an already bad situation from getting worse.

I was very satisfied with the visits, the procedure and the follow up. Doctors in the USA are not as personable and close as in other countries but the final result worked fine with me so im satisfied.

I had an appointment with Dr Sivakumar on Saturday. He is ok so far; very friendly, he took his time to talk to me and examine me But his staff , those two girls at the front, gave me hard time . Because of their ignorance to read my insurance , they won’t let me see the doctor unless I pay $30.00 . I met my out of pocket, and it says on the paper that they printed : Office Visit Major Medical Benefit Perentage 100%. Plan pays 0% You pay It was very upsetting and unpleasant

Dr. Savikumar seems to be ok. However, his front staff especially Christine needs to be let go. She makes every aspect of check in. check out, insurance and prescriptions difficult. On one visit I was told that my insurance was not accepted even though I had been going to them for over a year. Therefore, I could see the doctor unless I wanted to pay the $375 doctor visit myself. After contacting my insurance, we proved that she was wrong. I was there to get a prescription refilled. after it was

Excellent doctor until it comes to insurance. I saw him twice, and then his staff realized I have a secondary insurance that they don't accept, though they do accept my primary. Result: he won't see me as a patient in future unless, according to his assistant, I divorce my wife. I blame the doctor either for creating a nonsensical rule or for failing to ensure that his staff understands the actual rule.
