What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Excellent care, goes over everything in detail, provided me with new treatments which are making a big difference! Worked very hard with my insurances to get my treatment (infusion) covered! Her nurse did this! I am beyond happy with Dr. V and her nurse. I tell everybody about how good they are!

She’s very responsive to questions even over the portal, but it would be nice to have a face-to-face conversation. I would also like more information regarding diet and supplements that could possibly help RA.

Dr Venkatram really listens. Unlike most dr that just ignores your statement of what’s happening, she really listens and digs deep to the root of what’s causing the problems. I’d recommend her for anyone battling autoimmune disorders, RA issues as well.
