Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I was Dr Ramani patient close to 15+ years. Once he went to Albany medical center he put me in a clinic of which he goes only once a month. I got upset because he has another practice or office where he sees other patients daily. Why did he do this to me? I had so much redo for this man and even after he let me down this doctor was a 5 star doctor with a exceptional bedside manner. He also explained everything. I would call 2 weeks ahead of time for refill. Then it went down to a week and called again. Then 2 days I would call In somewhat of a panic and his nurse at clinic even said she left many messages. Some of these meds you couldn’t stop abruptly. Then for the first time ever he yells at me a 54 year old man about calling. What does a patient do when they don’t prescribe a med or meds within 1-2 days? He deserves to be where he is. I would still rate him as the best doctor I ever had. I have a doctor now but I’m not happy lately but he is a great DR.. but I guess that’s life.

I had a consistently terrible experience at Dr. Ramni's office. He did not listen when I told him the bloodwork that he wanted to be performed had already been done, and hurried me out of the office although there were no other patients either before or after me. Similarly, I had to call the office four times to get the results of this bloodwork, being dismissed every time I called. I was shocked at how unprofessional both Dr. Ramani and his staff were.

I have been a patient of Dr. Ramani for about 20 years, mostly as a primary care doctor and when I do have other ailments. He is so pleasurable to be around. When I leave his office I feel mentally better because as he listens to my problems and has a way of helping me. I do give him a hard time about certain things and he handles it very well. I actually can joke around and be honest with him. I would never want to lose him as a doctor. He is excellent!!

I have been a patient of Dr. Ramani's for twelve years. He has always been very professional, as well as very knowledgeable of whatever I ask him or whatever problem I am having. He takes the time to listen to me and answer all my questions, and I usually have a lot. What I most appreciate about Dr. Ramani is his wonderful bedside manner. He has not only helped me on my way to feeling physically better, he helps me to feel emotionally better. I'm very glad that he is my doctor!

Dr. Ramani has been my doctor for 30 plus years now. Over the years, he has come to know my family as well as me. He has always aired on the side of caution by getting second opinions when needed and giving expert advice when needed. He is well versed with internal medicine which has helped me with my various ailments over the years. I cannot say enough good things about the dedication of this man to his patients. He has always been there for me. I give the good doctor an "A+".
