Dr. Venkatesan and his staff were all wonderful. I was seen quickly (despite Zocdoc messing up my appointment) and everyone was friendly and professional. Dr Venkatesan gave me great advice.
I highly recommend Dr. Venkatesan, don't recommend Zocdoc.

What a great Doctor. Very pro patient!
December 5, 2018Thomas A.Verified patient
Dr Venkatesan showed polite mannerism and seemed knowledgeable. He explained things in a way I could understand and went over steps he wanted to take in diagnosing my problem. I was skeptical about making the appointment - glad I did.
October 31, 2018Vincent M.Verified patient
I really enjoyed my first time visit to this facility. I was warmly greeted and assisted by Brittany at the front desk. She was very kind and helpful in helping retrieve my referral form from my doctor.
Ms. Donna was very pleasant as well once I was taken back to the room for the initial check up.
And Dr. Veskatesan was extremely kind and open about what his practice entails and provided me with enough options so I could make a sound decision.
And finally, I believe that Cassandra King was also very helpful in scheduling my next appointment.
