  • Dr. Krishnan was very thorough and took the time to examine my child. I appreciate the time she spends on my children every time and I know they are receiving the very best care whenever we see her. We are so grateful for her.

  • She's always an amazing doctor.Talks to my children directly for answers and then includes me. That's the way it should be. They participate in their care. She's always so respectful of us and talks to us to find out what our goals or needs are. She is the BEST doctor and we will only see her. All of my girls (we have 3 of them) will see her as long as she is practicing. She remembers us and is so caring and kind.

  • I cannot say it enough how wonderful Dr. Krishnan is! She engaged directly with my child and not just me, she is a great communicator and kept me engaged in her assessment of my child. You can tell she really caree for your child by talking with them and knowing how to keep them distracted or calm during the examination. She really makes you and your child feel special and cared for, thank you Dr. Krishnan!!

  • Dr. Krishnan is the perfect pediatrician! She has perfected the difficult task of calming a worried parent with her relaxed nature and attitude, but also showing that she is on top of any issues and always takes your concerns seriously. Never hesitates to look further into something to ease your worries. She pushes me to be a better Mom (in a good way) and always makes my kids feel cared for and loved. I always leave our appointments feeling empowered. Forever grateful for you Dr K!

  • Dr.Krishnan is always the ultimate professional. She listens to your issue, answers questions, provides education and guidance. Always ensures we are comfortable with the plan in place before we leave. We have entrusted our 4 children in her care for the past 20 years. I will be so sad to leave when my last child ages out of the pediatrician. We are blessed to have Dr Krishnan care for our children!

  • She is an amazing doctor. So happy all 3 of my children can see her. She speaks to the child so they are the focus and included in the conversation . She listens to the parents and never tells you what or how to do anything. She never seems distracted or dismissive, she's fully invested in you while you're with her. She has the best bedside manner. Excellent doctor. We are so lucky to be her patients.

  • The Dr. LIstened to us first and typed everything I said, then went over each Item point by point. She gave us control of what we wanted to try!!! This was huge and restored our confidence in the situation. She even watched what she said to make sure my child wasn't fearful at all during the visit. I can't thank her enough for making what was a very stressful time into an appt that gave us confidence and control.

  • Dr Krishnan went above and beyond for my son! She has the patients of a saint and shows she really cares about her patients and loves what she does. I am so appreciative of Dr Krishnan and her sense of calmness she brings to the room. Even with a busy schedule she acts like you are the only patient of the day.

  • Dr. Krishnan is phenomenal. We have seen many providers over the years and CHOP is first rate-on the whole all providers are excellent, BUT I finally zeroed In on Dr. Krishnan as our "primary" for well visits, etc. Because of the way she communicates with my kids. It is clear that the kids (not the parent) are the patient. She has an amazing report with kids (and adults). I know my children feel respected, confident and free to discuss concerns with her. She is knowledgeable, positive, caring, thorough and just wonderful with my kids. I am so appreciative for her care.

  • We made a last minute sick visit and when I knew I was seeing Dr. Krishnan, I knew right away that my daughter was in good hands. Dr. Krishnan was very thorough with her examination. Since my daughter had fever for several days, she took great care in getting to the root of the problem. She spoke kindly to my daughter asking for her symptoms. She also listened to all our questions and concerns with patience. It was pretty late in the day and we were one of her last patients at around 7: 30 p.m. But she was compassionate and practiced ICARE values. Her approach gave us confidence and calm, which we didn't have when we came for the appointment. When I left the office, I had clear instructions on what to expect and how to manage care at home. She also promptly called me the following day to check on my daughter and to share test results. Amazing doctor. Appreciate HER. My daughter is back to school now and her last follow-up care was also excellent. If you could clone her, please do.

  • I can't express how impeccable Dr Shanti is. From day 1 she has shown all the professionalism of a doctor, she asks questions, answers my questions, always explaining everything, always showing me the charts of my kids growth, we do comparisons of their last appointment versus current. She is always so nice to my kids and they just love going to see her. She is very personable, kind, and gentle.

  • Dr Krishnan took her time to get all pertinent visit history which made it much easier to tend to & make a plan for my son! Her energy was wonderful! Calm, patient & intentional- my typically chill babe was even more relaxed with her, like jello. It was our first appt with her, & it won't be our last.

However, to ensure the comments are fair and correctly attributed, we review each one before posting to the website. We exclude entire comments that disclose patient’s protected health information, are off-topic, or include other confidential or inappropriate content.
