Dr. Krishnasamy is an excellent primary care physician. He has superb communication skills, listens carefully, and is very thorough in covering all medical needs.

Very glad to meet my excellent new PCP, Dr. K, but I had to wait four months for the first meeting, even though my mysterious condition was very uncomfortable.

I have been a patient of Dr K for years but the time is limited to a rote checking of boxes rather than any personal conversation. When I brought up a concern of my memory he wanted to brush it off but I didn't let him which he found annoying but relented and gave me a test that took about 10 minutes. I've just had major dental procedure which he knew about but never asked. I have a small fresh wound on my lower leg which he saw and did not ask about. I'm sorry to write such a negative review, but this has been my feeling for sometime and I'm going to try to find a Doctor Who might be a little more responsive to an older patient. I may find that a person like that doesn't exist with the framework of the insurance company that runs things. Thanks for the question. Susan Bloom

Had to go though a aTSA style security check to get into the appointment also had to go through a gated parking structure that had no info about what you do with the ticket at the gate, do you take it in to a validation or do you put it on your dash? When I tried to get out of the parking structure the gate would not let me out. It said I had to pay a parking fee , had to Waite about 3 minutes before attendant responded with people waiting behind me. Also coming down Stanton st to get to my appointment people would not get out of the way so I took another street in . It's ironic that I have a brilliant doctor taking care of me but I don't feel safe getting there.i took the time to respond to your survey I would appreciate a conversation with someone about my concerns Bob Heslop 503 806 9598 if I get no call or response will consider another doctor or clinic , balls in your court, please respond.

Dr K is amazing. I appreciate his care, attention to data and instructions to improve my health.

Dr was more attentive and open in his examine room demeanor than in prior meetings. However, I kept feeling that they were not really listening to my personal observations of my current health, while they were processing my historical data.

I have a repetitive 28 day cadence prescription for 5 mg oxycodone. My pharmacy constantly tells me they have staffing issues. Having scripts loaded into pharmacy for 3 months at a time has eliminated my pharmacy's excuse for poor staffing. This medication has tremendous impact on my quality of life due to a lumbar compression fracture and associated pain.

Dr Krishnasamy is an excellent clinician-very knowledgeable about best practices and about my particular health issues. He is warm and compassionate, yet professional and efficient in his interactions.

Physician is more interested in prescribing pharmaceuticals based on a single number in my lipids test, rather than discussing the complex results of the panel in detail to determine proper course of treatment, if any. The only thing that matters Is a statistical calculation of risk based on age and one number in the results. Not the interaction between the panel tests. Not nutrition. Not health history. Not the fact that my lipid results clearly show no need for statins. Also, we are always hurried in our appointments. For this annual physical, I had no more than 15 minutes with the physician. I intend to leave this practice.

Dr.K is amazing! He is data driven, and takes copious notes for me to review in MyHealth. He motivates me to make change, and keep data pertaining to my health.

Dr K is a thoughtful, personable, excellent physician, I feel lucky to have him as my PCP.
