H	H Ernst on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Always had great medical care through this office! My only reason for not giving 5 stars is that is is super tough to get through to the office itself (but likely the same for all offices). Having an email or voicemail box that allows patients to leave messages would be amazing!!
A	Ashley H on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ More compassion should be coming out of Doctors offices. In EVERY training I have been in regarding client care.. we ALWAYS talk about how the receptionist of an organization is the first impression of that office. Your doctors office should be provided the utmost care and compassion.
N	Ninetiesfinest 1994 on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I agree with Jordan’s review. As a long time patient of Dr.Lokanathan, I think it’s safe to say that her new receptionist has become a huge barrier for patients that are trying to access basic health care. I have not been able to get through to Dr.Lokanathan since Allison retired. The last time I called the office I was met with hostility when I asked the new receptionist to check the fax machine for my prescription refill request. She then sent me a “formal” letter threatening to have me removed from Dr. Lokanathan’s patient list if I ever spoke to HER that way again. I thought it was common and normal to ask the doctor’s office about medications when I’ve been waiting for them, as I have been for the past 8 years, but apparently it’s not okay now that Allison doesn’t work there. I haven’t been able to reach Dr.Lokanathan since that phone call. I’m starting to believe that she doesn’t care about us as much as she used to, otherwise someone else would be working reception, someone that has at least an ounce of compassion. How I’ve been treated by the new receptionist disgusts me.

T	Troy Cochrane on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Dr Lokanathan and all the other people that work in the office are great. They offer a very welcoming, non-judgemental space. Our family is grateful we were able to become patients here.
B	Benjamin More on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Dr. Lokanathan has been my doctor for close to a decade now. She is a highly compassionate, empathetic, and knowledgable professional, and I am grateful to be under her care.
C	Carey McCann on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is the most helpful, Welcoming doctor office. I appreciate Dr Lokanathan and the NEW receptionist. Personally me and anyone I know DISLIKED when this office was at PTBO CLiNIC. So many people everywhere from all the other doctors and everyone is in the same waiting room , it was very impersonal, and rip off parking fees. The receptionist before was brisk & grumpy .. She basically treated me like a child and wasted my time a lot.. Made me super uncomfortable to talk or ask questions, to the point I never wanted to call or go there . I definitely noticed when she left. We enjoy calling now , New receptionist is super amazing and incredibly professional. Always accommodates problems from pharmacy’s and anything else we have needed help with. Dr Lokanathan is one of the most passionate doctors ever and her whole team at this office are the same. Thanks for everything.
J	Jamie Hoefling on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I was surprised to read negative reviews about Dr. Lokanathan's office! My family have been patients for a few years now and we feel very privalged to apart of a great office. Liz is kind and caring every time we chat and I always feel reassured that the referral will be sent, follow-up made etc. Brittany is extremely knowledgeable and answers all my questions (even if I feel silly asking them). She is very professional and personable, my kids love her! Dr. Lokanathan is always there with the wisdom, experience and compassion. Thrilled my family are in great hands!
