Dr Parameswaran and her nurse continue to be excellent. This is what primary care should be. She was knowledgeable re: my current health status and listened to my concerns. her recommendations were tailored to me and emphasizing quality of life. I am an active participant with her in planning my ongoing health. Her recommendations are practical as well and she modifies my meds as needed. Southcoast is extremely lucky to have her. The office staff were professional and outgoing with a smile. The Middletown office is excellent.
You've done well by having Dr. Parameshwaran as part of South Coast because she is the very best doctor on Acrudnik Island and possibly in the whole state.
Always great services
I waited for 42 minutes in the waiting room watching others come in, check in, be seen and depart before I was called in. Once in examination room waited another 15 minutes.
Dr P is by far the best, most thorough, most invested, best listener, intelligent and thoughtful Internist I could ever hope for. She has been my doctor for over 30 years and I have had the best care from her!
Office staff is great! Dr Parameswaran listens and diagnosed my problem. She thoroughly explained everything.
Dr. P intently listens to my concerns and diagnosed the problem and advised me on solutions.
I am lucky indeed to have Dr. P. as my primary physician. I appreciate her passion for my overall health. The staff is pretty terrific as well!
Dr P might be the greatest primary care doctor I've ever met, and I've worked in healthcare for 20 years. I am in awe of her knowledge and caring touch. Our family is so lucky to have her as our doctor.
All was well as usual. Very easy….
Dr. Parameswaran referred me to the pharmacist [Name] in order to get help with a prescription issue. I appreciated this referral and the call with [Name] was extremely helpful. It saved so much aggravation and run around with drug companies, doctors office ,and pharmacies. This is a great service . Thank you!
Dr P is the absolute BEST GP I (And my wife) have ever had. She's technically very strong (not all Dr's are). She can explain even the most complex concepts in simple to understand language. She treats you like a true client. Vs Dr's that treat you like they're doing you a favor. I only wish everyone universally could experience her level of patient care.
Dr Parmaswaren is the best highly respected and professional. Patient centered and so easy to talk with about any concerns. Down to earth and a great teacher about health issues. If I could give an award she would be the recipient for best PCP.
Everything was exceptional
[Name] and Dr Parm are always on their game. They do a great job.
The office is great and Dr. Pwam Swan is a gem of a doctor. She's incredible. I appreciate having been a patient of hers and I could not more highly recommend her. Thank you.
This office is excellent. From front desk, to med assistants to check out and follow-up personnel, but most importantly the physician!!
I have been a patient of Dr. Parameswaran for 32 years for a reason. She is so bright, so informative, always reading about the most up to date medical practices, and sharing them with me. She is so humane, and incredibly funny- I am grateful for her as my long term provider.

This is a very well run practice. The office is clean and comfortable. The staff is friendly and attentive. Dr. Parmeswaran is the best example of what primary care should be.You may want to coordinate physician instructions more directly to the checkout team, but that is a very small issue. Overall… This practice is doing it right.
Friendly efficient welcoming knowledgeable is what comes to mind
Very happy with my doctor! Been with her over 30 years!
Everyone in the office is extremely nice and knowledgeable. They always go out of their way to make sure you are taken care of and your needs are met.
Hi, I moved to Massachusetts from Massachusetts in 2022. My provider had left. My only issue is I was on the waiting list for probably a little more than 18 months, calling every month before I got an appointment. When I went to see the provider, she was amazing. I was absolutely pleasantly surprised with how wonderful she is. She listened, she talked, she was awesome. Like I said, I'm very happy about that and she took care of my immediate needs. So kudos to Dr. Parmarasawan. Thank you.
Dr P and the entire staff are kind and professional always. I feel very comfortable there.
Dr Paramaswaran has been my physician for about 25 years. She is exceptional, thorough, explains things clearly and is extremely professional and knowledgeable
Friendly staff and atmosphere. Loved the billboard stating doctor's wait time, informative and helpful. Doctor is never rushed and takes the time to answer any questions.
I just love my Dr. I have been with her for 30 years.
I felt the wait to be seen was excessive and that steps should be taken to prevent this.
This was my first visit with SouthCoast and meeting my new Doctor. I can't say enough how wonderful everyone was, from check-in to check-out. Dr. Parameswaran was a complete joy to meet! Never once did I feel rushed. She took her time and was extremely personable. I'm grateful to have found such a caring doctor along with her team. [Name] [Name].
I was able to be seen the same day. This is important because we were travelling to California the next day.
Dr. P. was wonderful to both my daughter and myself. She was informative and reassuring as we were discussing a cancer diagnosis. She answered all our questions and has put in place the next steps in will be taking. I have been her patient for many years and I have the utmost respect for her.
Dr. Parameswaran, [Name] & all of the staff are Great. I truly feel they care about our families health and overall well-being. I can't imagine seeing anyone else.
I am very pleased and comfortable and confident with my Dr, Dr. Paraswaren always listens to me and cares.

Always completely satisfied with my visit with this provider. She is the best.
Very frustrating that I was not seen until 1 hour after my scheduled appointment time. At 8:45am, I expect the schedule should not be off track.
front office staff was extremely helpfullove Dr Parm and her nurse
I'm not someone who "likes" going to the dr (I am a nurse) but every experience at this office is a great one! From the front desk staff (welcoming, kind, friendly) to the MA (knowledgeable, comforting, reassuring), to of course the provider (brilliant, understanding, intuitive, personable, and so very kind)! I feel privileged to receive my care here!
Superb, in all aspects.
Keep up the great work !
My appointment was at 2:00, sat in the waiting room for one hour before being called in. Busy day yesterday, not normally that long a wait.
Long wait
Excellent experience. Dr. Parmeswaran makes me feel comfortable and takes the time to answer all of my questions. I highly recomend!
The only thing I can say is….. the long wait to be seen,I waited one hour past my appointment time. I really like my Doctor so I waited.
Long wait.
Dr P is exceptional. I feel that she genuinely cares about my health and well being.
I had to wait about 45 minutes past my appointment time to get in , but it was worth the wait because this provider spent a good amount of time with me, She addressed my concerns as well as hers regarding my health issues.The office staff was very easy to work with regarding follow up appointments.

It's always a pleasure to meet with Dr. Parameswaran, even when she's very busy. She has a delightful personality and a positive outlook, and always has some words of encouragement. I feel fortunate to have her as my doctor.
Totally pleasant staff. My Doctor is Soo caring and listens to my needs and thoughts. However, I feel rushed and not always able to talk enough.
Rescheduling an appointment within a day of the original.
Give patient time to answer questions before moving on to the next question. I always feel like I'm in a race during the appointment. I need time to think and answer questions before I can listen to the next question. The questions come, rapid fire.
Very respectful and friendly front office! Doctor is PHENOMENAL!
The doctor and all staff members were friendly, answered my questions, provided information that I requested and made me feel that I was heard, with positive feedback.
Dr P is a treasure. Very caring listens. Ask her questions and spends the time you need.
Dr Parmarswain is always focused and wants to answer any questions about my health. 3 1/2 years ago, I didnt want to go on, too much heartbreak. Now I am flourishing, happy goal driven, loosing excess weight, eating right, and leading a support group of widows, through Spirituality. Thanks to Dr Parm
It is a pleasure
Great office
The only reason I would be reluctant to recommend my doctor is because she is always so busy but still manages to spend time explaining things and I never feel rushed. No matter what, I always feel positive because she always gives me a plan to go forward with. She is a special doctor and person.

Long wait to get an appointment but this may be caused by the size of the practice
Doc P always on top of my health. Extremely caring.
I had to wait around in the exam room for 20-30 min. No big deal this time, but could have been. Dr. Parm and I are nearly old pals by now, so the visit not only accomplished its purpose, but was as enjoyable as a medical visit can be. Thank you.
The doctor and staff provided a welcoming and professional environment. The doctor really cares about patients and is involved in their care. She creates a bond right from the beginning.
