Dr. Kristina Vidiya Raveendran, MD

Dr. Raveendran is by far the most caring and thorough doctor I’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing. I had a somewhat pressing need to establish care with a primary care physician versus any run of the mill urgent care facility, and her office was able to work me in the next day. Instead of just addressing my issue, Dr. Raveendran went from head to toe to get a full picture of my medical status. She asked questions and brought up things that I would never even think of mentioning, and took into consideration my wishes and lifestyle. To sum it up, she is incredibly smart, passionate and genuinely cares about the well being of her patients. I’m lucky to have her as my physician.

I love her, I feel like I finally got a doctor who hears me in New Orleans. She, without hesitation, expressed concern over my recent weight gain, but that's her job. I guess some people dont like to hear the truth. I cant recommend her enough.

I found her to be dismissive and tone deaf when dealing with a patient who requires engaging in discussion rather than being told what to do and passively accepting a doctor’s orders. As a person with a PhD in Communication Studies, I knew when she was feigning active listening, especially when she immediately changed subjects when I conveyed my discomfort with a medication she wanted to offer as an alternative. She reflects the typical attitude of medical practitioners who believe they know more about patients bodies and their experiences in their bodies than the patients living in them. She needs to mature in her communication behavior and sense of superiority.

She took the time to ask a lot of questions and thorough. Very nice and professional approach to her advice. Also seemed very knowledgeable and well versed- would recommend .
