Dr.Ramanathan performed sinus surgery on me Monday May 11. He wanted to see me one week later. However, he is a very highly rated doctor. My usual ENT contacted him and asked for the earliest possible appointment for me to get his assessment of my condition. His scheduler called me back an hour later and gave me an appointment much sooner than I expected.

My husband and I were in shock when we left at the amount of care I received, he listened and we got a follow up plan and he has done more in the 15/20 minutes I spent with him than any doctors seem to have done in the last year I've been going through this health problem. 1000% recommend and so happy to be referred to him!
