Maybe the best communicator and listener of any dr. I've visited. Dr. Rajendran is excellent communicator.
Dr. Rajendran was among the kindest, most helpful providers I have ever encountered.

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.

love my new Derm Dr.
Dr. R was very patient and clarified things I didn't understand. She even called the next day (Saturday) to check up on things.
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.
She was amazing.
Excellent! clear plan of care. provided helpful suggestions to further improve my health care-eg practical ideas for sun protection etc. Very thorough.

This is the best experience I've had with a dermatologist ever. All of my concerns were considered and taken seriously and Doctor R even planned around my breastfeeding, which was very important to me.
I have recommended this doctor to others!
Liked her detail.
Interaction was good, though some of it felt a little artificial or condescending, when my provider showed too much sympathy for what is not a major problem. But it was really great overall.
Dr. Rajendra was thorough and professional. I appreciated that she took the time to explain my condition and discuss options for treating as well as being willing to explain the underlying biology and disagreements in the dermatology community about its causes. The medication she prescribed is working very well.
