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.

Dr. Santhanam is very caring. She explains things so I can understand. Does not rush through my visit, takes her time, and is thorough. "Going to the Dr." is a pleasant experience with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone searching for a doctor.

Dr Santhanam has taken care of my parents, my husband and myself for years. She is beyond thorough and I love the fact that when I call with a question she is the one that calls me back. I couldn't ask for a better doctor for myself and my family

I have been with Dr. Santhanam for a long time. From Dr Hunters office to another practice then to her own practice. I moved to Florida and have always said she is personable and when you find that dr you have a good repore with then keep them. I come back and now I feel she is very cocky on herself with TriHealth and not the best interest of her patients anymore. Wish that wouldnt of happened. Used to be abke to talk to her about anything. She was with me though nursing school. All about money.

I have been a patient of Dr. Santhanam for over 15 years. I have been so positively impressed with her professionalism and insight . Not only do I consider her as my Dr. But also as my friend. She has always been available when I needed her and I have needed her quite a few times. I would and do reccomend her to the highest degree.

I have been going to see Dr. Santhanam for almost a year now and can not speak highly enough of the her and the staff. For the previous year or two I had been going to the busiest doctor's office in Hamilton where I would sometimes wait two hours for minimal treatment. With Dr. Santhanam the waits are minimal and the treatment is thorough (the way it should be). My overall feeling of well being has definitely improved and I no longer dread going to the doctor.
