This was a new patient visit to both this doctor and this clinic, and I was very impressed with everyone I met there. I am happy that I will be seeing Dr. Krishnasamy as my primary care doctor from now on.

Dr. K is thoughtful and sincere. The Receptionists are always friendly and Helpful. The Technicians seem very bored in their jobs. My blood pressure taken is usually way off and they don't seem interested when I tell them. Upon leaving, the tech printing out my visit etc, can hardly take their eyes off computer screen to acknowledge me. THEY are your Weak Link. This is Not a one time thing. Can't wait for me to leave so they can continue their conversation with fellow tech. They are bored and Dull and uninterested in their patients! A real shame.

The doctor prefers I see him every 4 months. When I do, we only talk about my health, medication, etc. Though he has been my primary care physician, he's never examined me. If I note a problem, I'm sent to a specialist. He's very nice, but I kind of feel like another box to check on his patient list.

In the past Dr. Krishnasamy was more patient. This time he seemed in a hurry. Maybe because time allotted for the visit was short.

Dr. K is usually attentive. However, this visit, I felt he did not listen to my concerns and was dismissive of my TROUBLE with new treatment (CPAP).

This visit reminded me that I need a PCP that I feel comfortable discussing all aspects of my health. I was not comfortable and was actually getting upset discussing certain aspects of my health.

Dr K takes the time to listen and takes copious notes. Once my lab work is posted he follows up with me immediately. Great teamwork and customer care. Thank you!

The medical team is always very courteous and informs me of reasons for procedures, medications, and health conditions. I am given choice and listened to as well. Legacy Medical Group has been the best provider I have ever experienced.

I like Dr. K and I think he is looking out for me and my health. My only complaint is that sometimes he speeds through things and doesn't give me a full chance to really speak my mind. It's not that he has bad intentions, I just would prefer to have him not be so speedy and give me more time to express everything.

The reception desk paperwork and instructions for the annual medicare visit are complex and difficult to understand and the reception staff are of little help, and seem put off by questions. I'm treated better by minimum wage fast food employees,
