    How was your appointment with Dr. Viswanathan?

    Nov 25, 2021
    Dr. Vish is a wonderful doctor. He is professional, caring, and compassionate. He took the time to answer all my questions at every appointment including right before surgery. He made everything effortless for me. His office called me a day or two after surgery to make sure I was okay and to answer any questions I might have had. Every aspect of my experience was positive and I really appreciate that! He's the only doctor I'd go to for surgery again if my health requires it.
