Patient Reviews
Apr 13, 2024
When I was diagnosed with MM cancer I had the choice to go with my VA coverage or my coverage from work. While in the hospital the on call doctor happened to be Dr. Unnikrishnan. My wife and I absolutely loved her bedside manner and very positive attitude. We then researched her and read about her training, accomplishments and star rating and were impressed. Then we asked about every health care worker that entered my room and got nothing but glowing responses. My wife and I decided to forgo VA coverage and go with Dr. Unni. It has been the best decision I have ever made. Her team have taken the best care of me and my results have been very positive through my RVD treatment and stem cell replacement procedures. Dr. Unni is a fantastic caregiver, and overall caring person.
