Dr. Ranganath is awesome!
April 29, 2026
I was impressed with the patience and understanding of both the MA and Dr. Ranganath. Dr. Ranganath was particularly patient with me. I had a multitude of questions and comments. He answered all questions and listened to what I had to say.

Dr. Rangenov was not only very knowledgeable, but he also had a very light heart about it all. And it really was comforting to hear someone who could talk to me about something important and yet have a pleasant time talking about that. And we really enjoyed that visit. Thank you.

I find the staff at Dr. Ranganath's office possibly be the most responsive of any team at Maine General. There's excellence from the minute you walk through the door if your appointment's at 1:30. Someone calls your name at 1:30 and you're sitting in front of the doctor just a few minutes later and you're not waiting for a long time. What you face first is the person who gave you your blood pressure, pulse oxide, all that stuff, and then the doctor walks in, which is pretty spectacular. Dr. Ranganath explains very complex issues with my illness in a plain manner and I ask some pressure questions sometimes and he's able to answer them and not only that, thinks a few seconds before answering and then asks me even more probative questions. So this is probably one of the funnest doctors you have in your hospital. Thank you.

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.

I just love Dr. Ranganath. He is so upbeat and humorous. He is very thorough and explains the situation beautifully. He is not an alarmist and does not push treatments if not necessary. Again, I just love him. MaineGeneral is so lucky to have such a caring individual.

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.
