Shireesha Dhanireddy is the most kind and compassionate doctor I have ever had. I literally can not say enough good things about her here. She has always been so supportive, no matter what I was going through, and has always treated me the utmost care, concern, and respect. I'm so grateful to her for everything she's done for me over the years. [...]

Dr. Dhanireddy is absolutely the best doctor I've had. I've seen other providers at the clinic who also were great but Dr. Dhanireddy is really outstanding in her level of care and support she has offered me over the years. I am a recovering drug addict and she has seen me at my worst, and even when I was at that place, she did everything possible to help me access care and encouraged me to take any steps I could toward recovery...Now I am clean and she encourages me, cheers me on, and still provides that same level of care and concern she always has. I'm so thankful to her and to Harborview.
