dr. is good but staff need to be efficient
The doctor I had for years retired (not with Stanford) I loved him so much I paid out of pocket for yrs not wanting to lose him when I moved to Kaiser. I had to find a new Dr. A friend highly recommended another Dr in the office which I am sad to say I did not have the same experience. By chance I was given Dr. Veeragandham who I absolutely adore! I will follow her wherever she goes if she chose to leave Stanford to the point I would change my carrier or drive an hour. She is a wonderful doctor, who knows how to make you comfortable, she is professional, knowledgeable, understanding, caring I can go on and on. I could not be more happier with a physician than I am with Dr. Veeragandham, she is the best of the best.

Dr. V. is an exceptional care provider who is always polite, professional and addresses my concerns thoroughly, informatively and thoughtfully.

Dr Veeragandam is the best doctor I have ever had. She genuinely cares about her patients and takes time to go over concerns and provides clear explanations.
This was my first time meeting Dr. Veeragandham and going to the Castro Valley location. It was an excellent experience both checking in and my consultation with the doctor. She diagnosed my issue quickly and explained in detail, what it was and options to treat. Fortunately, the cyst was starting to resolve on its own so she recommended a conservative approach which I very much appreciated. She is personable, professional and listened to my concerns. Very happy to have been referred to her by my primary doctor in Danville.
I requested my appointment to remove a birth control implant. Dr. V wanted to chat with me before the removal to be sure I was aware of what could happen if I remove it and if I had thought about other birth control methods. I felt she really cared about me and my health ultimately by asking me these questions. She also picked up on my anxiousness being in the office and going through the small procedure. She asked me questions about where I lived, what I did for work, how I was doing during the pandemic. This helped to put me at ease a bit which I greatly appreciated.
Dr. Veeragandham was kind and caring. She took time to explain the procedure to a first time mom who was extremely anxious.

I appreciate and respect my Dr. because of her knowledge and her communication skills.
