Dr. Anu Venkat, MD

We found Dr Venkat when we moved to NJ. My child was 16 at the time and had been with 2 other neurologists since age 2. Dr Venkat was extremely thorough with getting to know my child. She even kept my child for months after turning 18 (when one would transition out of ped neurology) due to some issues that had presented at that time. I highly recommend her.

She rushed through her examination.

My wife visited the doctor for my daughter. First of all , she doesn't have any manners to talk to people. Not sure why St. Peters Hires doctors like her. She was nasty in her comments, horrible in diagnosis and seems like really not interested at all in seeing patients. Doctors like these should be banned from public services.

My son has been seeing Dr. Venkat for almost 2 years. She is very kind and compassionate. She examines my son thoroughly and goes over in great detail any test that she is ordering for him, she also goes over the results with me and answers any and all questions. My son is comfortable with her and looks forward to going to his appointments.

She is our dr while in PICU and now that we are in the pediatric unit. She is awesome and we can't wait to follow up with her when we get to go home.

Hi Terri, We had exactly same experience as you. She was my child's first neurologist at CHOP too. Thank God , she left from there or was expelled ! Same thing she wanted me to reiterate what she kept telling us in all previous appointments that my child will never ever do anything and not to ask her anymore questions !! very egomaniac person I ever saw. seriously her rating should be "ZERO" !! When I called her after my child had first tonic clonic seizure and turned blue , the answer I got from her was " that why we are nervous about my child's turning blue and yes anyhting can happen now - like her heart can stop etc . Above all I got a very good suggestion from her that I should get some therapy for my anxiety control" . Instead of looking at other options or medicines to treat my daughter she was worried abt my anxiety !! So sarcastic remarks from her :(

Should be a zero. This is the worst doctor we have ever seen. After giving me news of my son's horrible diagnosis, OVER THE PHONE, wouldn't see us for 6 months to discuss. She knew very little about his condition when we finally did get an appointment and sat me down at the computer, searched google for his diagnosis then read it to me. Gave me a pop quiz about seizures. Asked me for information about how my son was doing while she sat at her computer and typed it in. Should be the dr's job to examine he and see how he is doing. That's why we go to see drs. When she asked if I had reviewed his MRI and I said yes, she made me feel awful by asking what my medical background was that qualified me to read an MRI. I explained that I thought she meant if I had seen his MRI images. That was all I meant. Very full of herself but in reality doesn't seem to know very much about anything. We saw her at CHOP. She was our first experience with a neurologist and we didn't know any… better. Had an expert read my son's MRI and came to a different diagnosis. Dr. Venkat would not accept that she was wrong. Our new neurologist is wonderful. No one should have to put up with a Dr. like Anu Venkat. How she still practices medicine, I will never know...

will not suggest anyone to go this doctor .

Very horrible doctor !!!

I will not suggest anyone to go to this doctor !!! Just one liner - not a good doctor at all!
