My 8-year-old son was really scared about his check-up. Dr. Vidya Krishna was amazing with him, and she took the time to explain everything to me and my husband in simple terms. She didn't just talk at us; she listened. We left feeling like we were all on the same team, which is a huge relief for a parent.

We'd been to a couple of doctors about our daughter's persistent stomach aches with no real answers. From the moment we walked in, Dr. Krishna was different. She asked our daughter questions directly, got her to draw where it hurt, and really pieced the story together. She remembered a detail from our first visit two weeks prior that even I had forgotten. It wasn't just about the medicine she prescribed; it was the way she solved the puzzle with us. We finally have a plan that makes sense.
