Dr. Anandhi Shanmugam Baleswaren, MD

Was a patient with Dr. Baleswaren for 12 years, in the beginning my care was excellent, I believe this was because of the nurse she had at the time that always followed up with me. In time, that nurse quit because she did not like what she was seeing while working under Dr. Baleswaren (information she told me personally). I should've seen this as a sign, but still I stayed with her as my doctor. Later, I went to the hospital because I was running a fever and had a few other ailments, tests were run and I was told I would be contacted with the results later. A week passed, my illness got worse. I went to the ER at Lawrence and Memorial and after an hour was transported to Yale New Haven. I tested positive for Cellulitis. I was in the ICU for two weeks as they tried to stabilize my condition. I was told later that the doctor knew I had tested positive for Cellulitus but never contacted me, I nearly died in the hospital. This could have been avoided if I was contacted once the doctor knew… I tested positive. This happened last year, I have since come home, gotten healthy and now have a new doctor. I suggest anyone who is interested in becoming a patient of hers, look for a different doctor. Also she is still sending me medication, I haven't been her patient for a long while nor have I been taking this medication for a long while but still she is sending it. She is negligent in every sense of the word.
