She is a life saver. Literally! I went to multiple doctor's who brushed me off or told me nothing was wrong with me. She is patient and compassionate. And really good at her job! She was able to diagnose me and get me the right medicine to make me feel better. I'm so thankful to have found her as a doctor!

She was very informative patient and helpful
August 4, 2017Amanda P.Verified patient
Dr Palaniswami was very knowledgeable and professional. Her staff both at front-of-house and the physician's assistants were friendly and competent. I feel comfortable returning to this doctor.
More than 1 year agoCaitlin D.Verified patient
Dr. P is very kind and has a gentle demeanor. I wanted a diagnosis and nothing really stood out to her so she ordered more tests which can be frustrating for a patient, but at the same time is necessary to get to the bottom of things. Her nurse was very nice. The woman at the front desk was kind of cold. I was over 25 minutes late because I got very very lost once I was inside of the hospital. The address and phone number ZocDoc has for Dr. P is wrong and so I was walking in circles for a long long time and when I tried to call it was the wrong phone number for an OBGYN in a different office. When I arrived the woman at the front desk wasn't even sure they could still see me. I was very appreciative of Dr. P for still seeing me. I am going to go back.
November 19, 2016Amanda W.Verified patient
I look forward to my visit with Dr.P. She is very thorough in treating me. She seems to be up on the medicines. I am very happy with her.
