Thank you
Came to the office with knee pain. Was given a cortisone shot on Friday and knee pain was back by Wednesday. Almost felt like a wasted visit.
Provided outstanding care
Very good encounter. Clear options and plan for follow up.
Thank you Dr. Pandarimath and all of your Staff for all the care that I have received. Greatly appreciated.
Explained diagnosis very clearly & succinctly. Treated injury appropriately.
Excellent doctor; thorough, gentle, and clear communicator.
I went to Dr. Pandarinath for knee pain. He gave me a diagnosis quickly and answered all my questions. He also gave me some suggestions on how to prevent the problem in the future.
He had great bedside manner and was very patient with my daughter and I in explaining what her injury was and how he could help her. The office staff gave great customer service from the time we walked in until we checked out. Altogether this experience was excellent and I will recommend the practice.
I had an emergency and Dr. Pandarinath agreed to see me. He was prompt, kind and knowledgeable in my case. He made my visit go smoothly.
