Can't express how wonderful Dr R was. He went through all my X-rays , showing and explaining what he was looking at. He didn't dismiss any of my concerns. There was no rushing me, allowing for questions. I am so grateful for his care.

Excellent Staff. Dr Ranganath clearly has a remarkable team who work very closely to provide superior care. I felt very comfortable with everyone from the individual who checked me in at the front desk to the assistant who took my history and current complaints. Dr Ranganath easily diagnosed my current complaints and came up with a workable treatment plan. Brilliant physician who makes one feel comfortable and confidence in his judgement. I'm doing much better today because of the visit with him. I give him a 5++++ rating. Look forward with my next appointment with him.

Your call was to me but to another provider. My provider was Dr. Ranganath. He was excellent, as usual. Tops himself every time in involving me in the conversation of a complicated disease. And he put me at ease and he's monitoring my situation carefully. I'm most pleased with him. I would recommend him highly to anyone. Thank you.
