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.

I was appalled at how rude this woman was to her APRN. Extremely arrogant. I would not recommend.

I wanted to find out why I'm having the restless leg syndrome and she didn't do much. That's why I want to get a second opinion

Just saw Dr Kanchana. We went in for a second opinion and there was no doubt that we were staying with her for the duration of our progressive disease. She was thorough in her exam, informative, answered all our questions, explained possibilities for the future, gave good informative packets, suggested websites that address our problem, and put us in touch with a support group. We could not have asked for a more reassuring advocate in our corner. Jean Dejewski, Hebron, CT 7/13/30

Horrible & incompetent, she stared "through" my mom as she tremored in pain. When she "bestowed" upon us her greatness by interacting with us she was rude & condescending. After 8 mins the "top notch" assessment- all in my mother's head, the end, appt over. So we took my mom to actual Drs who practice medicine at the Cleveland Clinic & got a real medical diagnosis. The "staring method" didnt work, go figure. Compassion & basic human decency is glaringly absent with this Dr.

Very condescending, uncaring- rude actually. She should go back to school to learn about ethics, compassion and basic skills on how a real doctor should treat their patient. She’s not above anyone. Waste of time and frustration

Doesn’t talk much. Her assessment was based on a 10 minutes observation, very superficial. Doesn’t have personal touch when talking to patient.

Good luck getting, she is there the last two weeks of each month so far I have had 3 appointments canceled and had to reschedule. Does not spend a lot of time with patients asking questions.
