Kanchana Viswanathan, MD

Dr. Viswanathan, is a skilled endocrinologist who can manage the most complicated endocrine issues. She was a wonderful bedside manner and overall A+ doctor who listens to your needs.

My experience was as a patient with her for nearly ten years Beloit Clinic---I received excellent care by Dr. Viswanathan.

Tried to make a new patient appointment. Couldn't do so because I had to have my doctor fax the referral over with labs and all the reasons why I was referred in the first place. I gave them the referral number to look up online (which has the codes for the referral) and she said the person who looks those up wasnt in so they couldn't schedule an appointment until she had everything. How am I supposed to know she has everything, together in one space and get an appointment before the referral expires? Extremely unorganized office. Changed to another doctor. Can't trust a doctor who can't manage a phone call.

The office on Pacific Ave, Long beach is a mess. Very dirty old house in a bad neighborhood. Couple of times we had to re-schedule because of a shooting and police would not let us in. The wait time is really bad, sometime over a hour and half. Staff seems to be uncertain about things and always new staff.

My prescription expired for Diabetes meds. The Doctor would not renew it until I saw her first. I could not get an appointment for 3 weeks. Rather than go without my meds, I hired another Doctor.
