R S Ramabadran, MD

"The appointment was a great experience and Dr. Ram explained everything and was concerned about our questions."

"I appreciate the nurse and Dr Ram going to bat for me and getting an ABI test that Paige Ortiz ordered approximately three months ago,but originally could not get until August moved up to early July."

"Fast and Courteous response, thank you."

"I cannot get a return call for my releases from and to work which jeopardizes my paycheck. I need someone to return my CALL to get the forms filled out. I still need this help."

"Felt like I was being rushed. Didn't feel like I was being listened to.. Left with questions not answered. Did not like hearing people talk outside the door regarding other patients. Completely different from previous appointments."

"Waited 30 minutes in office room waiting for the doctor"

"Its hard to get appointments and they are cancelled often. They need more doctors"

"It is the most efficient, friendly experience every time I go. The staff from scheduling to nurse to device checker to the doc are all first class."

"They where nice got me in right away very helpful"

"the nurse and doctor treated me like a friend rather than a patient"

"The doctor answered all the questions we had about my procedure that is needed."

"Positive experience with Staff and Dr Ram. I have full confidence in Dr Ram's care and treatments"

"Dr. Brahm and his nurse were very attentive and very friendly and explained everything so well. We were very pleased with our visit."

"Doctor seemed rushed and asked us what we wanted to do. Nurse did not call back as promised. We were not happy with this appointment."

"Dr. Ram is very patient and kind with my Uncle. Thank you for all the kindness your office always shows when I bring my uncle in for a checkup. Dr. Ram and the nurses and office staff are very nice and helpful!"

"I wasn't in the office more than two minutes and the doctor only repeated what I had been told on the phone. I don't think there was any need for a follow-up visit."

"Excellent"

"It was all good."

"Answered all of my questions and explained future treatment plans."

"Awesome doctor"

"Dr. Ramabadran was very specific with what changes I might expect in my treatment regime. He gave me written paperwork to show what he would anticipate I should do differently and what I was needing to know extra information about that he then provided. His staff is incredible. I can't speak highly enough for Hannah and her ability to make me get in quickly and cautiously."

"It's been first rate and thorough!"

"Dr Ram was very good and listened and told us what was best for me."

"Reception desk was not pleasant other workers there talking continuously and the receptionist never smiled once cold and rude!"

"He isprofessiona,personable and promt and yet really listens to his patientss."

"Good appointment"

"The nurse and Dr Ram were excellent. The only problem I have is something every doctor has the wait time is mostly always longer than we all want."

"Everything was held quickly and everyone seemed very knowledgeable about what they were doing."

"Dr Ram is always the best. Student [REDACTED] was also very nice ?"

"From the time my name was called to the time I exited the building, only 5 minutes elapsed. Dr. Ram was with me 3 minutes tops. I had no complaints. But I'm 85 and very aware of carcdiovascular threats, so I was surprised to be dealt with so quickly. I hope he's giving much more time to patients who demand it."

"Very good experience, handling my care very well!"

"Provider spent 5 minutes with me then scheduled an appointment 1 year down the road. Seemed kind of rushed"

"Billing department is terrible Lucky I didn't die in the parking lot"

"Dr. Ram A+"

"Dr Ram is a great cardiologist, very knowledgeable and friendly, really cares about his patients ??"

"All went well all done on time had late appointment some times means long wait."

"Dr. Ramabadran was very reassuring and very kind and put my mind at ease about when I would need some surgery."

"Dr Rahm & Nurse Mikayla are fantastic"

"Reception help were very friendly and had huge smiles."

"Great experience. Knowledgeable and personable Dr."

"I was listened to by everyone there and encouraged to call if I had any questions in the future. An encdouraging appointment for me."

"I have always had a good experience when I have had an appointment."

"Thanks to Dr. Ram and and wonderful team!"

"Easy"

"Doctor was behind schedule."

"I prefer a call please. My R/H makes typing very difficult."

"Had an 11:10 appt and didn't get called back until 11:40. Reception was not aware things were running that late. I am always very happy with the care provided and the reception and scheduling folks. But, communication from back to front could sure be better so we know what to expect."

"Everyone of the nurses were excellent. They could not have been any more friendly. The test moved right along and was finished long before we expected. Thanks to all of them"

"Thank you!"

"Everything was very nice."

"I would just like to make the comment that all these years going to Medical Associates, the nurses and the staff and the doctors have all been terrific. And I would recommend anybody and everybody to go to Medical Associates. Thank you."

"Was very happy with attending this appointment."

"Male nurse brought me back to the room. He was great at the scales. Patient with me and kind and patient in the room. Kudos to him. Dr. Ramabadran he's one in 1 million. What a great guy takes time. Enjoyed my visit with him extremely knowledgeable in his field Medical Associates is lucky to have him. I am blessed to be his patient."

"Knowledgeable and got right to the point"

"Great"

"I was disappointed that a yearly appointment for next year is currently 1 year, 3 months. But I understand there is a shortage of doctors so I'm sure it can't be helped."

"Very happy to get in when I arrived on time."

"Dr. Ram was very informative, explained the diagnosis and answered all the questions I had. As looking for second opinion, I will have Dr Ram as my cardiologist. Thank you."

"I feel blessed Dr Ram is my cardiologist! He listens and evaluates. He is thorough and I trust his care!"

"Everyone was great but a special thank you to Dr. Ram."

"Dr Ram is a wonderful doctor. He seemed to be hushed and had to wait about half hour to see him There is most likely a good explanation for it."

"Doctor listen with care"

"Dr Ramabadran and his staff are outstanding"

"Dr. Ram was personable and easy to talk to. He took time to know more about my needs and explained things clearly. I'm confident that I'm in good hands."

"Everyone was very friendly and helpful."

"The doctor had to leave to go to ER, he told me to stay there and he would be back. I liked it that he wanted to finish the appointment."

"Dr. Ram is the best! Need more like him!"

"I waited in the room and was finally seen 40 min after my appt time. I realize there are emergencies, but would have been nice for someone to pop their head in to let me know what was going on. For this 3 minute appointment, I would have just had him call me when he was available."

"Dr Rahm was professional, courteous and reassuring. We talked medication alternatives and providers. The nurse was pleasant as well. Kari Pfab, with whom I had the appointment scheduled, was not in so Dr Rahm stepped up. I will say that when I attempted to return the call to the department to arrive earlier, I was on hold for over five minutes the first time. I then decided to head to Medical Assoc, calling as I left my home on the west end. I was still on hold 15+ minutes later when I arrived at Cardiology! So the medical experience was great but the administrative experience was really sub par."

"Dr RAM and his nurse are worth their weight in gold"

"First time to medical associates don't regret it."

"Always have felt very taken care of, and handled with loving care because I get very nervous going yo the doctors."
