Dr.K is amazing! He is data driven, and takes copious notes for me to review in MyHealth. He motivates me to make change, and keep data pertaining to my health.

Physician is more interested in prescribing pharmaceuticals based on a single number in my lipids test, rather than discussing the complex results of the panel in detail to determine proper course of treatment, if any. The only thing that matters Is a statistical calculation of risk based on age and one number in the results. Not the interaction between the panel tests. Not nutrition. Not health history. Not the fact that my lipid results clearly show no need for statins. Also, we are always hurried in our appointments. For this annual physical, I had no more than 15 minutes with the physician. I intend to leave this practice.

Great Doc but appointment length is too short. And booked too far out.
  Jul 21, 2023
Everything was great. Dr. Krishnasamy is very easy to discuss things with, and thoroughly answered all my questions. I just started seeing him earlier this year and I am very happy with my decision to come here.

Clinic is located in a somewhat unsafe neighborhood.

Dr. K seems like an outstanding primary care physician and Internist. He reviewed and understood my entire medical history and listened to all of my concerns. I feel lucky to have him as a PCP!

I am not convinced my response will remain confidential. Any electronic communication can be breached. I absolutely have some concerns with provider, but this concern is not related to his professionalism or expertise.
  May 24, 2023
Less than 15 minutes for an annual physical seemed very rushed.
  May 17, 2023

Dr. needs to check basics such as ears wax, nose, throat, ankles etc.

Always a pleasure to see my dr. -

Dr. K is incredibly kind, warm, thorough, and never seems rushed. You can tell that he always wants to do the absolute best thing for me and is obviously very knowledgeable about the most recent, relevant health maintenance guidelines. I am a healthcare provider myself and it is so comforting to know that I can relax and trust that he knows what he is doing and will be an advocate for my health. The medical assistants were sweet and funny as well. Thank you all for doing what you do!

Dr K and I have established a very pleasant working relationship he always has my health in mind even if we disagree

This was a new patient visit to both this doctor and this clinic, and I was very impressed with everyone I met there. I am happy that I will be seeing Dr. Krishnasamy as my primary care doctor from now on.

Dr. K is thoughtful and sincere. The Receptionists are always friendly and Helpful. The Technicians seem very bored in their jobs. My blood pressure taken is usually way off and they don't seem interested when I tell them. Upon leaving, the tech printing out my visit etc, can hardly take their eyes off computer screen to acknowledge me. THEY are your Weak Link. This is Not a one time thing. Can't wait for me to leave so they can continue their conversation with fellow tech. They are bored and Dull and uninterested in their patients! A real shame.

It was a good visit. I got the information needed. Pleased to get the visit same day.

I always look forward to seeing Dr. Krishnasamy.Dr. K always goes over my current test results and reminds me of any goals that, need to be adjusted.
  Dec 28, 2022
Dr. K is very conscientious and personable. A very caring presence!

The doctor prefers I see him every 4 months. When I do, we only talk about my health, medication, etc. Though he has been my primary care physician, he's never examined me. If I note a problem, I'm sent to a specialist. He's very nice, but I kind of feel like another box to check on his patient list.

In the past Dr. Krishnasamy was more patient. This time he seemed in a hurry. Maybe because time allotted for the visit was short.
