    Dr. Jayasankaran is very patient, knowledgeable, observant, and thorough. He took the time to educate me on medications, side effects, and ways to contact him if I begin seeing said side effects. He responds to my chart messages with a phone call and even then he's patient and thorough. Extremely grateful to find him after moving from GA and having to find a new pediatrician.

    I would recommend him to any and everyone I know. He's such an amazing physician. He actively listens and always comes up with a plan of action that suits the needs of my son. The level of care my child receives exceeds the scale of this survey. If I could give him a million stars ..I would. His love for his profession is evident in the level of care my child receives exceeds.
