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.

Outstanding Dermatologist

I found Dr. Sundaram on Facebook because she was doing an Eczema study. I didn’t qualify as my eczema was not as prominent as required by the study, but I liked this office so much that I decided to stay on as a patient. I had to change an appointment once and I forgot to call before 6:00pm. At 6:15pm that day, I received a call from Dr. Sundaram herself. I was floored! And we rescheduled me then. No petty “You have to pay.” arguments —just a reschedule. She takes Medi I have already referred my daughter snd her best friend, and 2 others I know from school to here in the Rockville office. Dr. Sundaram is so nice and caring and so is the rest of her staff. It is so nice to have an all female doctor’s office, especially in dermatology. I had an annual skin cancer check, and a mole sent to biopsy that was fine. I also had a couple things frozen off with nitrogen. This dermatologist is also testing me on my skin for common household things I might be allergic to.

I got to the office a few minutes early and the appointment started right on time. Everyone there was polite. Dr Sundaram prescribed an ointment. She said if I found my copay for the prescription was too much, call her and she would find a lower cost5 alternative. I have not had any problems with this office.

Recently had some carcinoma removed by Dr. Sundaram. My options were clearly and understandably explained. We conversed during the actual removal, which kept me relaxed. Follow-up was explained and has gone as expected. Have been going there for several years, usually seeing Tiffany. Office staff is professional and efficient. I've always felt confident there, and highly recommend them.

I have been a patient of Dr. Sundaram for over 7 years, both as a dermatological and cosmetic patient. I respect her ability to diagnose skin issues, treat appropriately, and listen to my concerns. For cosmetic procedures, I have had nothing but very positive outcomes. She is truly an expert at deciding what treatments are best suited for my face and budget. I highly recommend Dr. Sundaram. Her staff is kind, responsive, and experienced.

Dr.Sundaram clearly knows her stuff and gives thorough explanations which I really appreciate. I’m very happy so far with her treatment. Staff is nice but it took a long time (30 minutes) before the Dr saw me after being placed in the office. That may be the downside of a good Dr...others figured it out too

I've been a patient of Dr. Sundaram over 6 plus years. She is an excellent Doctor, extremely knowledgeable and I trust her judgment. I have never had a wrong diagnosis ever, ever. She takes an abundance of time with me and explains to me clearly the situation. The office is very nice and the staff is courteous and professional. The examination rooms are always very clean. I consider Dr. Sundaram a close colleague and friend. She is all around an excellent Doctor and she is the only Dermatologist that I will consider seeing. ?She goes above and beyond to ensure you get the most appropriate professional care.
