Patient Satisfaction
Leave a review
How likely are you to recommend Dr. Sankaran?
My daughter suffered from severe asthma from birth. She was hospitalized for almost 2 weeks at the age of 3. We took her to Dr. Sankaran, who KEPT HER ALIVE, KEPT HER OUT OF THE HOSPITAL AND KEPT HER HEALTHY. My daughter LOVED Dr. Sankaran. When she did get sick, she WANTED to go see him. In addition to setting the Gold Standard for Pediatricians, I believe he loves his patients as much as he does his own children.
