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.

Amazing

My husband went to Dr. RaviKumar for complicated health issues. Dr. R. made him healthier and able to walk again. So, I decided to have my nasty veins injected. No pain and gone in 2 weeks! Now my 50 plus legs look 25 again!! Best decision of my life.. after choosing my husband!

I have been a patient of Dr, Ravikumar for years as was both my parents. My sister is a nurse and had worked with Dr. Ravikumar in the hospital and all the nurses have great respect for him. There is nothing better then having a nurse in the family to get feedback on a doctor! I have nothing but good things to say about Dr, Ravikumar. He has treated me for leg issues for years and does not push for very invasive surgery until necessary. He listens to questions and is cordial with responses. I had to have two major surgeries in my time with him and he has called me after I was home to ask how I am feeling and has always said not to be hesitant to call no matter what time of day.

Dr. Ravikumar is a compassionate and amazing doctor- he spends time with you and listens. Not many people can say that they look forward to seeing their vascular doctor- but I can! I highly recommend him.

What a wonderful and kind physician! I saw Dr. Kumar for a vascular problem in my left leg. He is a skilled vascular surgeon but did not push for surgery. Instead, he prescribed medication and an exercise regimen, and told me to contact him in two months. He is a very good listener, and his explanations of the issues were clear. He spent considerable time answering my questions and addressing my concerns. His staff - front desk and PA - are as friendly, concerned, and sympathetic as he is.

I was seen by Dr. Ravikumar for an emergency and he took great care of me. I was terrified but he calmly explained my procedure and answered all the questions that I had and that my family had too. Just a note in regard to another review...he does work closely with a Physician Assistant (PA) who is very capable. I'm afraid that reviewer doesn't understand that PAs are licensed medical providers who can practice independently and even write prescriptions. It's just an unfortunate title.

I highly do NOT recommend Dr. Ravikumar. I made an appointment to see him and he didn't even show up. Instead, he let his assistant treat me.
