About Vijaytha Rathnam
I provide gynecologic surgery, obstetric services and comprehensive care to women. I have a particular interest in vaginal surgery and minimally invasive surgeries. I was lucky enough to move around quite a bit growing up. Having lived in multiple parts of various countries like France, United States, United Arab Emirates and Qatar has helped cultivate my language skills and cultural sensitivity. I am fluent in English , French and Tamil and am able to converse in Arabic and Hindi, especially in a medical setting. I love my job as an Ob/Gyn and truly love being there for my patients as a physician, surgeon, confidant and friend. The combination of continuity of care and the unique opportunity to become an active part of a patient’s short and long term health plans is what I believe to be the essence of good medicine. Outside work, I enjoy tennis, classical dancing and spending time with family.

Doctors are not very receptive, my primary provider was often distracted during visits talking about things other than my questions. In one of my recent visits I had asked for a cervical evaluation but didn't get one saying things were expected to look normal.

Fabulous Dr and helped with all my concerns.

Dr. Rathnam Listens and is very knowledgeable. She's gentle and explains what she is doing. She asks if I'm comfortable during procedures. She's an excellent doctor and would recommend her to my friends and family.

Dr. Vijaytha Rathnam explained things to me as if this was the first day being a woman. She didn't ask many questions, but just talked. Like she had a script of what to go over. She ordered the necessary tests, which I appreciated, but she's condescending and didn't take an interest in my health or experience. Much of the information she gave wasn't relevant to my circumstance.
