She's a great listener, remembers what we talked about on past visits and seems to genuinely care about my well being by asking me pertinent questions and following thru with added tests or instructions as deems appropriate. She smiles and takes her time, not rushing on to another patient.

As stated many times previously, my care and treatment from St. Peters has been unsurpassed. They have kept me alive, mobile and functioning normally through 3 separate cancers, beginning in 2017 with stage 4 neck cancer. I love St. Peters

Dr. Ramanathan is knowledgeable and professional. She is looking out for my health and helping me improve it. It can take a while for her and/or her staff to respond to patient portal messages, though.

Excellent provider
Jan 7, 2026
I have been a patient of Dr. Ramanathan for over a decade. She listens to my concerns and symptoms and responds with a combination of lifestyle changes, medications, and/or non-invasive tests. I appreciate this combination approach so that I can incorporate the lifestyle and eating changes on my own, plus add medication if she really recommends it. She recently agreed to also accept my sons as her patients which was a big relief for me. As she said to me, "I'm a Family Practitioner so the idea is that family members come to one Doctor because they share similar biology." This has proven to be very true. I recommend her highly.
