Dr. Praveen Sivakumaran, MD

Doesn't return calls, got very offended on the first visit when my husband added some things I had forgotten. He told my husband that ( I am not talking to you so be quite). My husband wanted to tell him a few things but held back. I would recommend a vet over him

I was admitted to the hospital and later found out my blood levels were extremely low. Dr. Leaven recommended iron transfusions and a blood transfusion. I agreed immediately to the iron transfusion. However, I had questions about receiving blood from someone who had been Covid vaccinated because I had not been vaccinated at that time. This doctor first of all sped through questions, cut me off as I was answering him and told me I needed to ask the nurse about how this would effect me. Needless to say when I spoke with the nurse she told me Dr. Praceen should be the one to answer the question. The next day he comes in and tells me he has basically taken himself off my case and I am on blood thinners for three months. I asked him if I should follow up with him in three months or before the three months is over and his response was ‘you can if you want to. I gave orders yesterday that you did not follow.’ So basically he was telling me he wanted nothing else to do with me as a patient. If… you are someone who likes to be educated about your health options, especially if you have a new and serious diagnosis, this is definitely not the doctor for you.

Unfortunately Dr Siva acts as God with lots of ego. Does not listen to the patient. Rushes me when i schedule a visit and I leave his office unhappy and unsatisfied. He got very affended when he found out that i tried to see another Dr. at the same hospital.
