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.

Followed me from young childhood for growth hormone deficiency, later on helped me manage thyroid conditions. Lovely doctor, very friendly and understanding. Shocked by bad reviews! Always has done her best to get back to me as soon as possible by as many avenues as possible.

My daughter has been seeing Dr. Narasimhan since her original pediatric endocrinologist moved away. I am shocked to see the bad reviews. We’ve had no problems. Her approach seems to be working better than that of the previous doctor. She always answers questions and always calls with results in a timely fashion. We are satisfied.

My son has growth hormone deficiency. His endocrinologist gave human growth hormone dosed by my son's body weight. Height increased nicely over 1 yr. This MD moved away. Dr. Narasimhan held dose increases for 6-7 mo as he gained weight. Growth stopped! She chased a lab value with no clear medical literature evidence of importance, as growth stagnated. He lost unrecoverable growth time. She was condescending to our concerns. (We are an MD & PharmD.) Newest MD is now dosing by body weight

Took 8 year old son in 2014 suspecting early puberty. She did a physical test and said everything looks normal, also blood work was told she would call me if there's anything. 2017 my son complaining from facial hair and other things, take him back in same office but she is longer there. Doctor says that test results from 2014 shows signs of early puberty and now it's too late to do anything and that it and it there is no record of MAKING A CALL, yeah because I never received one.

Absolutely the worst experience I've ever had for my 8 year old with type 1 diabetes. Our 1st visit with her, she didn't even attempt to interact with my daughter, her only concern were the "numbers". Did not allow me the opportunity to share my knowledge or explain my approach to managing my daughter. She was talking to me in a condescending manner and it seemed like she was looking for things that I was doing wrong. I am also a healthcare professional and would never treat patients this way.

As long as I am originally a doctor from my home country I can easily judge if the doctor my soname is seeing is good or no...unfortunately it is a shame for Cleveland clinic to have a doctor that really cannot answer a lot of patient's question. I am so disappointed from this doctor and felt that my long drive was unworthy and had to see another doctor that I am completely satisfied with his results with my son...don't see that doctor for your own sake. Thanks and God blesd
