"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."

"My provider was attentive and thorough"

"I'm very grateful to have Dr. Ramabadran's help with my medical situation."

"Dr Ram is always so nice!"

"We were lost and late and they got us in anyway. That was great!!!"

"I felt I was being told what they found and what they didn't find."

"The staff were very prompt, pleasant and made me feel comfortable. Dr. Ram was at his best as usual. Very excellent staff, and quality care. Thank you."

"Enjoy visiting with Dr Rama!! He is the most down to earth Doctor I've ever met!! Nothing but good things to say about him!!"

"Dr. Ram and his staff are wonderful. I will recommend them to anyone. They are the best very kind and friendly and helpful. Thank you everybody for all your help and concerns."

"Dr. Ram is just the best! I trust his knowledge and experience in caring for me and greatly appreciate his positive attitude and genuine service. We feel truly grateful to him and his staff."

"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."

"It is organized, managed well, Dr Ram was recommended by a friend and not disappointed... feel like I'm in good hands with Medical Associates Cardiology........."

"Dr. Ram left the room and never came back . I guess I'll have to get my questions answered elsewhere."

"Extremely satisfied"

"I'm confident in my care with Dr. Ram! He listens to my questions and explains them throughly!"

"Efficient. Kind and pleasant. All Staff. From Doc. To front desk. I feel like I am in good hand's. Thanks."

"Very confident in Dr Ram & his staff"

"I think the nurses could have explained things in greater detail. Of course I googled everything I could think of after the appointment so I believe I understand my situation good enough. I really didn't have the questions ready in my mind til after the appointment ????"

"We had a terrible experience in Des Moines this past week so it makes us appreciate our Dubuque doctors all the more."

"Although I was a new patient for Doctor Ramabadran at last week's appointment, I felt that he was making a genuine effort to address important cardiac issues, esp. those regarding my physical exercise, eating habits, blood pressure, etc. At age eighty two, I do realize that such positive reinforcement is necessary, and I appreciated his candor. Thank You, [REDACTED]"

"In having my battery checked, I learned some new information to help me decide if I will have a 2nd battery. She was very informative. As always Dr. Ram is very helpful and listens to my issues."

"Very impressed with the information on my paperwork. Thank you."

"I just wanted to say that I would have given the first three questions a four instead of a three and everyone was very respectful and very courteous and explained everything to me so I understood it since I'm hard of hearing and I appreciated how well they treated me. Thank you and I will see Dr. Ram again."

"Nurse Hanna was great makes you feel great"

"Very good communication with MD. He listened to my concerns and needs."

"I feel that the entire Dubuque land area and region is so lucky to have a man of Dr. Ram's caliber. He exemplifies everything that is good in a caretaker. Empathetic, involved, interested, caring. I mean, listens to you. I've been going to him for quite a few years now and yes, I have recommended many people, many people to go to him. and I hope that we can keep him forever."

"Dr. Ram is an active listener and gives great care."

"Dr. Ram is always looking out for my heart health. He's a great doctor who has always treated me with kindness and respect."

"Dr. Ram was fine. One of the nnurses called me for rescheduling appointment (3rd time) and test resulted and stated to me that Dr. Ram wanted to discuss surgery options. When I personally questioned her about whot told her to say that, she didn't answer and then said she couldn't remember what she daid to me. A very critical matter for me. I would like to think that she only says what Dr. Ram indicates to say but I had the sense that she decided what was being said to me. In my case, surgery was not to be discussed and she upset me greatly. In addition, she called to make an appointment without checking because I already had an appointment scheduled. I think a nurse calling to make an appointment should at least know if you have one. Sorry - but I found this interaction extremely unpleasant. Dr. Ram was fine."

"Dr. Ram is very good he explained everything. And asked if we had any questions. He is a very good person and I would recommend him to my family members how have heart problems. Thank you for taking care of me."

"Make you feel like you're a patient, which he didn't do. And he was very, to me, he wasn't very polite at all. Knew what was wrong with me, but just kept asking me questions or taking my pulse on my feet, legs, and then told me that I needed to have a CAT scan done. And I just, I mean, there was no, he was in there for maybe two or three minutes and that was it. And I ended up leaving within probably five minutes. He's not a lot to me. I don't want to see him again. If I have to go to another cardiologist and meet to a different one, I will not see Dr. Ram again. I appreciate. everything that y'all try to do and I've never had one treat me like I'm just"

"I think Dr Ram is a great guy and super cardio doc. Staff is top- notch. Thanks, [REDACTED]"

"Dr. Ramabadran is an excellent physician. Three years ago he referred me to the Mayo Clinic for heart surgery, which has allowed me to continue enjoying life to its fullest! Endless thanks to Dr. Ram and Medical Associates Cardiology team!!!!!"

"I felt so comfortable with Dr. just moving back to the area from out of state and it was easier to get in To cardiology than general practitioner."

"Please include the day of the week when requested registration is sent"

"Overall, a very good experience."

"Dr. Very nice and listened well to me. Very positive experience."

"I definitely love Medical Associates, the team they have treating you. Dr. Ram, Dr. Kemp, and all the rest of them that I see. And I wouldn't trade them for anything. They are top of the dollar physicians and care. Thank you very much and I appreciate it. Thank you very much, bye bye."

"Very nice experience."

"Dr. Ram and his staff of nurses are just the best. They are knowledgeable, courteous, kind, and everything a patient would want from a healthcare perspective. I cannot say enough wonderful things about all of them. [REDACTED]"

"Iam still here"

"It was mostly a waste of time for me."

"Dr. Ram is a very caring and knowledgeable doctor. He always takes time to answer my questions and explains anything I don't understand."

"Perfect visit"

"Really like him he cares about his patients"

"Was very happy with the visit and discussion."

"Because this is Doctor Ramabadran,rsMD"

"Dr Ram and his entire staff were very nice and helpful!"

"Dr Ram really listened and came up with a plan to analyze issues."

"Very pleased with Dr. Ram and all the staff at the Cardiology Unit. Thank you."

"He was running over a hour behind (for an 8:40 am appt) on 6/30 due to an emergency and I was impressed they could reschedule me for the next day. The stand-in nurse on the 1st made my visit less stressful. I was also pleased with the lady who hooked up my 24 hr monitor."

"The doctor was very attentive and listened to the issues and made suggestion. The other staff were great too."

"Nurse was helpful providing extra information about my prescription drugs."

"Excellent medical staff and very helpful on my questions I had. Thank you."

"Really like the at home pre registration and the new check-in provided. No waiting in line and the nurse knows you are there immediately. I am "older" and had very little trouble navigating through the process."

"Dr. Ramabadran is an excellent doctor. He is very knowledgeable and skilled. He is very thorough and I trust his care completely."

"Everyone is always so friendly!"

"Dr. Ram is an amazing health provider. I really appreciate his care. Thank you."

"Dr Ram is an excellent Dr"

"The treatment i receive from Dr Ramabadran and his staff could not be better."

"Dr Ram is very thorough. He truly cares about his patients."

"The experience was fine, but you do have a small problem. I received a reminder of my 4 pm appointment at 3:43 pm while I was waiting in the waiting area having already checked in. I live 45 miles away from Dubuque, and that reminder would not have given me adequate time to get to my appointment. This caused no difficulty for me, but it may be an area you wish to review to make it more useful."

"Dr Ram. was a very professional caring person very satisfied with the Intensive health care that I got."

"Hi, this is [REDACTED] I'm really thankful that I have you guys helping me. Thank you and have a good day."

"Nurse excellent and Dr. Ram also!!!"

"I had a nuclear stress test on May 5. The next day a nurse from Dr Ram's office called to tell me everything was fine, no problems. She also said Dr. Ram needed to see me. This Wednesday, I drove 65 miles, one way, to have Dr. Ram tell me exactly the same thing. In less than 1 minute. Also, the nurse updated my medication list. A nurse did this on May 5, in that office, but the computer had not updated the list. Love this office, but there seems to be a communication problem between staff. I wasted 3 hours out of my day when a phone call would have sufficed."

"I got turned around on my way to the clinic. I called and updated I'd be a little late. The receptionist gave me directions and got me there AND updated the staff so I didn't lose my time slot. I haven't been treated that well at many places. Thank you"

"He answered my questions before I could ask them!! Great Dr !!"

"Dr. Ram is very knowledgeable and supportive of my health needs. He is one of the best of the best!"

"Dr. Ram has always listened to my concerns and has always answered my questions in a way I can understand. I know how busy he is, but he has always given me as much time as I need whenever I have an appt. with him. He is caring and I know he is very attentive to my needs. Whenever I meet someone else who is a patient of Dr. Ram's, I have never heard a negative word about him. We are so fortunate to have Dr. Ram in the Cardiology Dept."

"Very professional. Always asks if I have questions which I appreciate."

"Dr. Ram Is wonderful. Always so patient and kind. Explains this very well and thoroughly."

"It seems that sometimes people in the medical profession feel the patient always is comforted, understands presented information, or is getting questions ANSWERED to satisfaction. Conversely just because a Doctor has presented information to 5000 patients it's important to know each patient is different. A little creative approach to the information presented would help !"

"The 2 page family medical history form to fill out would be more accurate, if it was sent or emailed before cardiology appointment."

"The stress test examination was great. I had to wait 4 days however and as soon as I had it scheduling for my surgery quickly followed. Would really have appreciated a shorter wait. My emergency doctor was trying to get a sooner stress test but it wasn't available or something."

"Provider was knowledgeable, explained everything and answered all our questions."

"It was fine!"

"Thanks to Dr Ram for the excellent care these past years. I"

"Hello, this is [REDACTED], and I want to give feedback on Dr. Ram. He is a phenomenal doctor. He has been my doctor for the last seven years related to my cardiology issues, and he has guided me along. His expertise is top-notch. He has unbelievable care. He works really, really hard. We are very fortunate to have Dr. Ram in the Dubuque community, and I hope we do everything we can over time to retain him. I can't speak enough about Dr. Ram. Thank you very much."

"Great doctor"

"Very good experience, thank you!"

"Dr. Rahm seemed very cordial and he did listen to me, but I had a heart attack a few years ago and we didn't really have time to talk about that or, you know, that I had a stent put in and I had other issues. And anyway, there was no follow-up appointment made and I am still concerned about those issues. So, if he thinks I should make a follow-up, I'd appreciate a call. I meant to talk to him, but there were these other issues going on that we did address, but I'm worried about the heart attack that I did have and the stent that was put in has never been checked since I had it in 2021. Thank you. Bye. END"

"What a nice guy."

"Would like to know more about blood thinners and price differences before I start taking these pricey drugs"

"Dr. Ram was absolutely wonderful, very patient, never met him before and I felt very comfortable talking with him. Thank you."

"Dr Ram seems like a great doctor. He was very nice & explained everything thoroughly."

"I'm writing this review on behalf of my mom. She always has a positive experience at Medical Associates. Her cardiologist and her provider (Dr. Kraciun) and the staff at Medical Associates treat her with respect and provide a high level of care. She always makes it a point to tell me how friendly the staff always is to her and that they ask her about my brother and I and how we're doing. I think that speaks volumes to the excellent and meaningful work that the staff does everyday especially for my mom who doesn't speak English fluently. We are so grateful for all that they do!"

"He's a great Dr. and very knowledgeable!"

"Very pleased with entire staff"

"The doctor was Very professional and easy to talk with!"

"Always a great team at Medical Associates."

"Dr Ram is the best caring dr ever"
