Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for money
I highly recommend this doctor.
A few years ago, my mother developed a bulge in her lymph node. We consulted Dr. Ramakrishnan, who carefully examined her and advised multiple tests. He strongly urged us to see another specialist the very next day. Since I travel frequently, I mentioned that we would consult the other doctor the following week, but he insisted that it was urgent and could potentially be a tumor.
We met the oncologist the next day, underwent further tests, and Hodgkin’s Lymphoma was detected at an early stage. Thanks to the timely diagnosis and treatment, my mother has been cancer-free for the past 10 years.
Visited For Ear Wax (Cerumen) Removal
Happy with: Treatment satisfaction
I had a ear block. Dr after checking identified as was. Asked me to put some drops for a week and come back. When I got back after a week, he removed it easily.
What I did not appreciate was billing wait time on both occasions was too long due to their systems issue and for this simple treatment the charge is excessive - Paid ₹2,000
My experience with Dr. Ramakrishnan was **** bad. We had an appointment at 12:10 but were made to wait for more than one and a half hours before seeing the doctor. Because of this long waiting time, I would not recommend Dr. Ramakrishnan to others.
