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.

Unfortunately I was assigned to this infectious disease doctor at usc keck where she sees patients once or twice a week. At first she was very nice but when I told her my symptoms are not getting better she was very dismissive and she was not compassionate at all. She made me seem like if I was just making my symptoms up. I had to quickly find another doctor because if not my osteomyelitis would of got worse. The other doctor told me she was not adequately treating me. If you get assigned to her quickly find someone else.

She was awful. I have never seen someone so rude, condescending and belittling as this woman. I had been seeking a diagnosis after 2 years of feeling like garbage, being poked and prodded abd all this horrible woman could do was be non informative, flippant and refuse to do testing to try and help me. Horrible. And she is oddly mean. I don’t get why she would even be a doctor is she hates people and refuses to do her job. I sincerely have never been treated worse by any medical professional.

“Maybe you are depressed” – Jan 09, 2022
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Radhakrishna?
Wish this deceptive doctor can “treat other people the way you and your loved one the way they want to be treated” or just have a human heart. Basically she is rude and a borderline judgmental person. I should have recorded her behavior and exposed her to the public. I don’t understand the reason behind her mistreatment towards patients. She only focuses on what she wants to relay and does not care about patient concerns. She raises her voice in the most rudest way when you question her vague explanation and I find her being the most pretentious fake doctor. You can tell she doesn’t care about patients and just care about telling her diagnosis and leave the patients confused and wants to leave. It’s scary that she could be doing this to other people. She needs to take the board certification exam again because I am doubting her ability to give treatment and her ability to use English to properly communicate and elucidate any concerns.

Ask for a different doctor if you get Dr. Radhakri – Dec 11, 2021
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Radhakrishna?
Dr. Suman Radhakrishna Is the worst Doctor I’ve seen in my entire life. When I stepped in her office she didn’t greet me, she was extremely rude and she didn’t look at me while speaking about serious topics. She suggested to do unnecessary tests and wouldn’t hear my concerns. She also wasn’t well prepared for my visit. She was unprofessional and I don’t recommend seeing her. I had lab results of my symptoms and she didn’t even acknowledge it. I’m a person fighting with Lyme disease and she didn’t even have compassion for me. I came here having hope thinking she would have a treatment for the mold in my body, but she offered none. There is no humble in her soul.

Our of insurance necessity, I was stuck with her. The worst! Doesn’t even bother to look at you. Always looks down at her notes. No interest whatsoever. Gives wrong information. Horrible. Her receptionist /assistant has the personality of a toad. So unpleasant. All she needs is a broomstick and she’s good to go. If you can go elsewhere, run away.

Six years of struggling with parasites and fungal/yeast infection with Western medicine and alternative doctors laughing at me, telling me that I need a psychiatrist, that I need a rehab for drug addicts, etc, I feel blessed to get into hands of Dr. Radhakrishna. She didn't laughed at me, but immediately gave me diagnosis and prescribed an adequate treatment. They are some knowledgable doctors with integrity left and Dr. Radhakrishna is definitely one of them. Great nurse in front. Clean office.

Recently, I was admitted to the hospital with a very aggressive facial rash. Dr. Radhakrishna was my consulting physician. She did an amazing job. She quickly and correctly assessed the problem (Staph infection) and put me on a treatment plan which lead to a speedy recovery. In a time of complete pain and distress for me, Dr. Radhakrishna showed up and saved the day. Knowing what competent hands I was now in, I could focus on rest and recovery. If you get her, you'll be in good hands too.
