Verified SHC Patient

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Subramanian. She was familiar with my case when she took the call, which I really appreciate. We didn't stumble around and waste precious minutes while she caught up with who I am and what we've talked about before. She honestly says when she's not as familiar with a particular treatment that I bring up. I really like that. She doesn't say, its not good or maybe its good, just is up front about how familiar with it. Also, she complied when I asked that she note one issue/treatment that she is not familiar with. I know that is she comes across information about it, she will notice and include it in our next meeting or message me sooner. As I said, I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Subramanian. I can't think of any way to improve her except to be able to see her more often. I may be forgetting something, since serious cognitive issues are part of my illness, but nothing that would decrease my high recommendation of her.

very personable and seemed and ask a lot questions to ensure she was getting the entire story. She was also familiar with my condition prior, so she obviously did her homework :).

Dr. Subramarian always impresses me with her kind & caring manner. She always spends all the time I need answering all my questions in detail (I'm detail oriented) & asks if I agree with her recommendation. Great doctor!
