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.

Our 2 sons have been visiting Dr. Munuswamy since 2014! She is very attentive. The staff is awesome! She answers all questions. We adore her!

I had a terrible experience with this Dr. She told my 12 year old daughter repeatedly that she was chubby and overweight. Someone of her expertise should know the psychological effects these comments can have on a pre-teen/ teenager. If she felt her weight was a concern, the appropriate thing to do would have been to speak to me about this without my daughter in the room. Then to make matters worse. She sent in a nurse to tell the nurse giving my twins their 3 shots each to hurry up. Giving shots to kids should not be a rushed thing. This Dr. has zero bedside manner. She is rude and should not be working with kids. I recommend finding another Dr.

This office is sketchy and "nurses" are extremely incompetent. They have outdated equipment and have no idea how to even take vital signs on a toddler. My son is 1 and a half and they were taking an oral temp on him. ORAL. On a baby. It's obvious that can't be done because they do not keep the thermometer in their mouth. The "nurse" was getting an incorrect reading on these thermometer so what did she do? Tested it on herself and then tried to use it on my son again. This place is a piece of sh.

Major mistakes were made with one of our appointments. The doctor and (majority of the staff) treated my child with the same level of excitement that one would display operating a toll booth. The doctor seems completely burned out and bored with her job. Additionally, the atmosphere is dull and lifeless. NOT the kind of place I feel comfortable bringing my little baby.
