I had a good experience after a bad experience with another doctor who I couldn't get a timely appointment with and I was worried about a painful skin lesion. Dr. Rajendran was very helpful!

it's such a strange experience to have someone be so nice to me! I didn't have to argue or repeat myself to have my concerns heard. I wish this doctor could be my GP!

Dr. Rajendran greets me and never rushes me. She makes sure all my questions are answered and how to use RX correctly.
SHC Patient, Oct 2020
Although she was trying her best, the explanation of the condition was poor and somewhat ambiguous. I still have the issue and still figuring out what to do about it

Maybe the best communicator and listener of any dr. I've visited. Dr. Rajendran is excellent communicator.
SHC Patient, Sep 2020
Dr. Rajendran was among the kindest, most helpful providers I have ever encountered. She explained everything regarding my condition to me very thoroughly and reassured me in a way that I very much appreciated. She also made sure that I fully understood everything she was telling me and have me space for questions and clarifications. She was so kind, and the visit was so enjoyable, I wish all physicians were like her. I plan to continue with her as my primary dermatologist.

SHC Patient, Jun 2019
For my job, I am familiar with research on physician-patient communication and physician training in communication -- I have to say, this doctor was the gold standard of how a doctor should interact and communicate with a patient during a doctor's visit; she was kind, personable, listened, took the time to explain everything carefully and discussed the evidence base for her recommendations. Wonderful doctor!
SHC Patient, May 2019
Dr. Rajendran was extremely friendly and set me at ease with her personal greeting and smile.

Dr. R was very patient and clarified things I didn't understand. She even called the next day (Saturday) to check up on things.
SHC Patient, Apr 2019
Dr. Rajendran is exceptional. If you offered a "6" rating for exceptional, I'd give her that in every category - her professionalism, communication, thoroughness, thoughtful response to questions, "bedside manner" in what can feel like a vulnerable situation, and all this expertise with a very authentic human warmth and humilty. Also, as I told her, she gave the most thorough and careful full body skin check I've ever had in my life, and I have had many over the decades.
