always and excellent visit
My son loves going to see Dr. V. X is always extremely helpful. I asked many questions via the patient portal regarding setting up medication for my son and the questions were always answered in a timely fashion.
Awesome doctor - great with children.
My provider is an excellent doctor, my daughter feels very comfortable with her - Thank God. I only take her for a check up 2 times a year.
My daughter likes to go to the office because the doctor always treats her with great happiness and taps her knees and she likes that.
Excellent team; very knowledgeable; friendly; and caring.
My son X has been seeing Dr. Viswanathan for his diabetes at the age of 3 years old my son X is 14 years old a freshment in high school I couldn't ask for a better dr. I'm truly blessed to have Dr. V. and her team they truly care.
I have never had a bad experience with Dr. Viswanathan and her team they truly make my son and myself feel safe.
we love Dr V and the whole endocrinologist team!
they care a lot about the child and always take their time talking about our concerns
I have seen Dr. V. for the past 10 years give or take. My AIC was not in control, my diabetes was ruining my health. She got me down to an 8 and I feel better than I have in years.
I just turned 19 so I have to say goodbye to Dr. V. I'm going to miss this team tremendously. Her and X have been wonderful.
I look forward to my visits with Dr. Viswanathan. She keeps me on track in monitoring my type 1 Diabetes.
Dr. Viswanathan is a brilliant physician, always sharing her knowledge about Type One Diabetes with us in terms the average person can understand. We absolutely admire Dr. Viswanathan's ability to look at on son's data and make positive changes to ensure a healthy & safe well being. We love Dr.V!!!!!
Dr. V is always positive & fully explains the test results, next steps, & overall health goals.
she was very nice and understanding
she's a great doctor!
We love Dr. V.!
I am not too fond of this doctor and the continuing of seeing her. my child has shown no symptoms to that of which the doctor describes. it seems as tho they just want the money and I believe it has been a terrible experience.
My daughter was diagnosed w/T1 diabetes in Nov. This visit was our first follow up. Everyone we have dealt with in the endo department has been great!
Dr. V was great & very patient with my daughter through her crying. She let her sit on her lap to make her feel comfortable & was honest when she didn't have an answer which I prefer than making something up or lying.
All staff was great.
Dr. V is great. She is honest WITHOUT being rude!
Great.
Dr. V. is always so pleasant, patient & gives us all the time we need with her. She's a pleasure to see & my daughter likes seeing her as well.
Excellent Doctor, Nurses, Clerks, I would recommend to my friends and families
We love Dr. V. She is very good at communicating and helping us understand.
I appreciate the patience X's medical team has with our family. Parents must do what's best for their child & sometimes the appointment becomes a mediation for miscommunications or problems with at home treatment or follow-through between X & I. X is allowed to express his opinions and feelings. Dr. VV always chimes in with kindness and facts and her expertise focused on X's best quality of life now and as he grows up.
Excellent doctor and very knowledgeable & friendly.
We love Dr. V and her team. We are very grateful for them - They are doing amazing.
We love Dr. V! She is so down to earth and really care about all my boys! I always feel comfortable with her recommendations.
We have met Dr. V 1x. in person and spoken over the phone a couple of times. She has been amazing with my son as well as with me (mother). She is down to earth, communicates well, respectful, funny (makes any dr. visit better), and so knowledgeable! She also took her time/put in considerable thought with us to discuss our situation and also in deciding a plan of action for my son. We feel safe with her and that is the most we can ask for in a dr. as it secures everything else we need from a dr.! Pretty impressive impression from just 1 appointment.
excellent and informative
Dr. V. and X have always treated my children with respect. They listen to my concerns as a parent and answer all my questions.
Dr. Viswanathan is an EXPERT in her specialty. Our son is extremely comfortable during his visits with Dr. Viswanathan due to her patience and understanding of his chronic medical condition. We look forward to our checkups every three months because of Dr. Viswanathan's bedside manner. It is very evident Dr. Viswanthan loves what she does by her empathy, compassion, and love of her patients. She is truly a gift from God. Thank you Dr. V for all that you do for our son and family. You are more than a gifted doctor, you are a true friend.
I liked how I was taken care of in the clinic. They have excellent nurses.
Excellent physician she speaks to you in terms that are easy to understand about this health condition & steps to take to keep it under control.
The doctor was great with my son.
Dr. Viswanathan goes above and beyond for the best care for her patients. She takes her time and explains and makes sure you understand.
Great!
I'm answering for my son. He likes the doctor and has a great experience. They always give excellent service.
I love this doctor. She is always friendly and easy to talk to. I trust her completely.
Dr. V is the absolute BEST pediatric Endocrinologist with Advocate Medical Group! Extremely well educated in her specialty and in turn our son X is in excellent health! We respect and admire Dr. V's dedication, hard work, knowledge, advice, and her time spent with us at each and every appointment. We are SO fortunate to have Dr. V caring for our little T1D warrior. We love Dr. Viswanathan!!!
Dr. Viswanathan is an amazing doctor and always listens to what you have to say and knows very much what she is talking about.
we love Dr. V she is the best! her team is the best
Dr. V and team is the best.
Dr. Viswanathan is a caring and competent doctor. I wish all doctors were like her!
Dr took time & care in answering any questions I had. She was thorough & respectful. I appreciated how she handled our specific need & did not race or rush into anything that may not be necessary.
We have worked with Dr. V before so we knew what to expect from her. She's great.
