Patient Reviews
Sep 22, 2022
Great doctor. I had seen so many doctors prior to Dr. Ramanujam. She was the first to diagnose me with Gout and got me on the correct treatment. I haven't felt this good in years. I saw the reviews below and im struggling to understand the negative ones. Front office staff is super friendly. They don't pick up the phone right away, but every time I leave a message I get a call back within 24 hours.
