Dr. Shivani Jindal Narasimhan, MD

I have been going to Dr Narasimhan for over 10 years and drive an hour to see her. She is the absolute epitome of a brilliant, respectful, caring and friendly doctor. She trusts and respects what I say, makes all decisions jointly with me, coordinates with my other specialists and solves tricky and complex situations with ease. I can not say enough good about Dr. Narasimhan!!! She even remembers what books I was reading at the last visit and where I have travelled! Thank you Dr. Narasimhan; I treasure our relationship.

No follow-up regarding lab work. Left 3 messages. Cancelled appointment and was billed for the visit.

I used to see her as a patient and when I was put on hold for over 10-15 minutes trying to work out a refill on a needed daily medication she had prescribed, the staff was rude and short with me. I then received a letter FROM THE doctor who wasn’t even a part of the phone call or a witness to my end of the conversation stating that if that was my continued “behavior” I could find another physician! Are you kidding me?! I am still upset years later over her unprofessional approach! She also had me wait over an hour to see her EACH visit and spent a few minutes with me and then billed my insurance for a lengthy complicated visits code! I never went back to that office!

Dr. N has been my husband's doc for years. She is friendly, medically thorough, and compassionate. She has treated him for both thyroid and diabetes issues. She understands how difficult it is for him and always treats him with the respect and courtesy he deserves. When she is out on leave he will see other doctors in the practice but we always request Dr. N first. I don't think he would ever go to another Endocrinologist otherwise. We love Dr. N! We have never had billing issues either and the front desk is always helpful and friendly. I don't think we've ever waited longer 10 minutes in the waiting room.

Dr.N did more to help me get to good blood glucose than any of the many endocrinologists i'd seen before

Annapolis Endocrinologists cashed my check but did not credit it to my account. I wrote multiple detailed emails to try to get it resolved. They still did not credit it to the account. They had the gall to turn it over to a collection agency. When the agent contacted me, he was aghast that they were giving him bogus collections and dismissed it. So, a collection agency was more ethical than a physician's PA!

I can't remember how long the wait was as it was a while ago. What stands out in my mind was that she spent the first 5 minutes of her time with me talking about my insurance coverage, after her office staff had already done that. She quickly decided that I needed lap band surgery. I was overweight, but not the kind you look at with an open jaw. I decided to find another doctor, who helped me lose weight without surgery,

Dr. Narasimhan is part of Annapolis Endocrinologists which is a very dishonest practice. To detail all instances would require a lot of writing. To give just one instance: I paid a bill ($200), they cashed the check. They did not credit the payment to the account. I made *repeated* attempts with them to straighten out their error, but they did not. They submitted the bill to a credit bureau, despite having proof that they received payment for it. Their administrative department was rude, illogical and unethical.

I have been a patient of Dr Narasimhan and Dr Cantero for quite some time. They are excellent doctors who listen and answer any questions I have. They have helped me better understand my condition and are with me every step of the way. Highly recommend.

I have to say that I was a bit reluctant when I saw the reviews here. I figured though out of all the patients this group sees the ratio of complaints to the ones that were pleased but just did not take the time to write a nice was in my favor. So, I took the chance since my other choice was further away. I needed to get things looked at quickly. I called and was greated with a friendly professional voice on the other side. Even wished me a happy birthday since I was making the appointment on my birthday. I was hoping to get a certain day so she said to call back to see if the scheduled had changed since this happens from time to time. She was right because I called a few day later and was able to get my appointment. I arrive a bit nervous but arrive early with all my paper work ready. My waiting time was about 20 minutes in the waiting room. I am very outgoing friendly person so the only thing I will say is that everyone there could use some practice at smiling a little more. The… atmosphere is a little serious understandibly being a medical office. But I feel that my friendlyness caused others to be friendly too. So, it would be correct to say that a smile is contagious. I met my first doctor who was very thorough and reassuring. Was advised to have biopsy to confirm all was negative. A week later later I had my biopsy with with one of the other Doctors and again very nice and compatent in my opinion. She was quick and explain what would happen and for how long. Its not a great experience having your Thyroid biopsy but she made it quick. She said I would have my results back in week and to make a follow up then. I went to front and to check out and again the girls at front were really nice. I was anxious to get my results and wanted to make appointment a week out exactly but I also needed early due to my work schedule. She could not find anything and I said, well maybe I can just keep checking back to see if someone canceled. She went to get her supervisor to look at the schedule. Quickly, they were able to get me schedule exactly one week from my biopsy date and when I my schedule would allow. Now that's TEAM work. My outcome was great when I met with the 3rd doctor who went over my results. She explained my results and I was happy with the explanation. I realize not everyone get to hear good news but my advise to patients when going anywhere is to expect what you give. If you are nice and friendly there is a better chance that you will get the same in return. I was very pleased.
