“Dr. Shalaka Venkatraman was amazing! We recently moved from Delaware to Texas and needed to find a new PCP, and I’m so glad we found her. She saw both my husband and me - him for a routine exam and me to establish care. She was personable, attentive, knowledgeable, and kind. We never felt rushed; she truly listened, asked questions, and made us feel cared for. We’re so grateful to have found a doctor who genuinely cares about her patients. Highly recommend!”
