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.

The kindness and compassion of Dr. Ramkumar and her staff.

Macular hole repair
I was referred to Dr. Ramkumar by my optometrist, since several of his relatives had been helped by her. In my case, i had a macular hole in my left eye. This took place about a year ago. Dr. Ramkumar repaired the hole and today my vison has been restored to almost perfect, and keeps improving. She is highly professional, caring, and takes time to answer all your questions. Her office staff is very friendly, and efficient. I would recommend Dr. Ramkumar's services to family and friends.

Excellent Doctor; has extensive training
Dr Ramkumar sealed a hole in my retina, using laser. I was very nervous about the procedure. She answered all my questions, very pleasant and professional. She laid out all the steps and the risks, but wasn't pushy. I ended up having the procedure and it was very simple. I continue to go for checkups and monitoring. All the staff are nice. As with all eye specialists, be prepared for a wait due to multiple exam steps and dilation time. It is a very busy practice. I did research the doctors and the practice, and they all had excellent backgrounds. My optometrist also recommended them. Would definitely recommend.

Review of Dr.Ramkumar
When I first met Dr. Ramkumar, she was the second specialist I was referred to, since this was about my future vision I was Scared. After meeting her, she comforted me stating that she would do everything that she could to help me, and she did not Disappoint. She tells you how it is and what YOU need to do to help Yourself (NO SUGARCOATING). Which is how I am, I know it's not for everyone. But that's what I need (BRUTAL HONESTY), because that's how I was as a Supervisor, not always popular but there was no Doubt.

Excelent Professional Service
I've been in doctor's office with issues on my eyes, since the frist day Doctor Ramkumar made me feel confident about my eyes health to be in good hands. she is profesional, and explains everything in a way I was able to understand, she goes beyond of service, and walk not extra mile, but extra miles, feel she takes everycase very personal, and doesn't feel like like being in a doctor's office where patiente is one more file, but a person who needs medical attention. Doctor Ramkumar aslo has a great team working with her.
