Beena Achuthan Pillai, NP

Kind. Discuss medical plan that is best for you and why. Answers all questions and uses easy to understand explanations. Answers the question what does that mean and what is your suggestion and other options. Makes you feel comfortable.

She actually sat down and listened to what I had to say and helped me figure out what to do next. So many providers do not take the time to listen to- she did. I appreciate it.

I don’t believe she properly examined me at all. Even if my symptoms were out of the range of what they could treat she offered no recommendations on what direction to go in. She was extremely condescending and didn’t listen to me. She made me feel like I was being overly dramatic about my symptoms and said I had allergies even though I didn’t say those were the symptoms I was concerned about. She sent me away with 3 prescriptions I did not need. I was hospitalized the next day for 9 days and was told if I had taken the prescriptions she had provided to me that could have interfered with my care and treatment and the hospital.

She listens and explains issues

She’s very professional and personable. You can tell she truly cares about her patients.

She was thorough and personable. She knew how sick I was feeling and was able to prescribe me meds and get out of the office quickly.

She is very thorough. Office not so much. Sometimes 10 days to get results and still waiting on a prescription for 10 days

Very professional and and knowledgeable

Beena is very attentive and listens to I'd say every word a patient says. Notes tell all LOL but no, truthfully I love her and feel very comfortable being open and totally forth coming with Beena. As long as she stays in Arizona I will follow her. As a senior I have lost a lot of my doctors and or through clinic changes, so NO I would not be a happy camper if I could not see her.

Very friendly

She is NOT a doctor as is required in the office as required by law. I place the criticism for this not with zBeena, but with Optum for driving physicians from the practice. This in a pattern of practice for several years.

She was kind and listened and concluded my symptoms were due to severe allergies. She referred me to an ENT doc without explaining why. He asked me why she’d referred me as well. Further - the medications she prescribed have done very little to stop my symptoms.

Beena was well informed regarding my med condition. She was able to answer all my questions.

Good listener, good eye contact, confidence, kind person, very knowledgeable

She’s so easy to talk with, and I feel very comfortable telling or showing her personal things about me.

She was professional and informative.

I only saw her once and she was very nice and helpful

Like her and you are relocating her

Beena is very knowledgeable, friendly and gave good advice.

I drove 45minutes to see her. She is kind, thorough, and a wonderful provider. I stay with Optum because of her. Her medical assistant, Ty? was so kind and friendly. I really enjoyed working with her as well.
