Patient Testimonials

Patient Submitted Review

Dr. Krishna was very nice to me despite me being disabled. His staff was nice to me also. He seemed very knowledgeable and explained things to me and did not make me feel like he was talking down to me and that is important to me. I would recommend him.

Patient Submitted Review

Outstanding provider who does not dismiss patients or merely treat symptoms but rather seeks answers before providing a diagnosis. After more than 5 years of seeking answers, we finally found a provider who is willing to find the cause of the symptoms.

Dr. PV Krishnan and his medical staff were wonderful. They were pleasant, explained everything and put me at ease. The front office staff were average. They could work on their interactions with patients.

Patient Submitted Review

Very personable. . . a colonoscopy is obviously an awkward reason to visit a doctor- particularly for the first time - and he made me very comfortable. Answered all my questions and even popped a joke to lighten the mood (a very subtle and appropriate one, by the way).
