Very caring, compassionate physician

10/21/2025

Dr. Samarasinghe knows me well, even though most of the time over the past 16yrs. she"s only seen me on an annual basis! She knows that I get nervous for my visits and my initial blood pressure score is usually high when I am in the room with her assistant before I see her. After spending time calmly talking with her about my health issues she usually takes the TIME to take my BP again and it's usually lower.

She is Great!

I just recommended the doctor to two other friends of mine. I wish every doctor I interacted with was as caring, knowledgeable, responsive, and professional. Truly my favorite doctor and I regret that I won’t need to see her again.

She is a wonderful doctor who has helped me get my blood sugar down. You can tell how much she cares for her patients, gets back to them timely, provides information on your condition and ways to help you medically and anyway she can

09/12/2025

Already wrote that she gives as much time as I need. She doesn’t hurry my visit as many doctors do just because she’s running late.

08/13/2025

Give her a raise, she is one of the best

08/06/2025

Dr SAMARASINGHE walked me through & provide me the patient with a solid knowledge of my rare disease. This was extremely necessary and valuable as a patient because not many other dr understand or recognized the disease let along knew how to help me. So in treating me she explained things so I could understand them completely. This helped me recognize when I was in danger and needed to seek medical care and or what to do if it was something to could do myself (ie if my hormones went low I would need to increase my medication, “stress dose.” This ability is vital to my staying alive. I know Dr SAMARASINGHE would go above & beyond, there were time she would call me directly on a Sunday, to let me know my test results & discuss next steps. (Which told me she was doing this on her own time because she cared to go beyond to see that her patient was taken care of). She is spectacularly outstanding too in her field endocrinologist!
