Dr. Shivaswamy was rude, dismissive of my concerns and questions, and quick to recommend a medication for neuropathy instead of explaining the pairing of controlled blood sugars to reduced foot pain. I was utterly insulted and felt like my visit was an annoyance to him. On the topic of foot care for diabetics he had no advice, pushing me off to a podiatrist. He had no recommendations for medical grade pedicure facilities around town. For being a doctor specializing in the Diabetic Care he simple did not care to offer advice or any insight on the ketogenic diet and it's unquestionable benefits for diabetics.
My visit with Dr. Shivaswamy was affirmation that in order to stay ahead of the curve, keep my A1C to that of a person without diabeties and live healthy that I cannot depend on my own doctor for help.

I was very pleased with my visit with Dr. Shivaswamy. He was very courteous and understanding of my problems and was very willing to involve me in every step of my care. I would recommend him to anybody with no hesitation.
5I was referred to Dr Shivaswamy for my son through our local Pediatrician, I was not pleased with the visit, as I do believe Dr Shivaswamy is very educated in his profession he seemed to not listen to what issues were being addressed and we went in circles the appointment was a waste of time, we had testing done prior to the consultation that he refused to examine the results and sent us back home to "retake" the same tests. We eventually saw Dr Corley and had much better results.
