Dr. Kolandaivelu Ramaswamy, MD

Dr. Ramaswamy saved my mother’s life the day after Thanksgiving in November 1984 after she was shot in the thigh by a deer hunter near Grayling, MI. Fortunately Dr. Ramaswamy was on call in the ER at Grayling Mercy (then a very small-town hospital) that night and had experience treating gunshot wounds from his time in Detroit. I am eternally grateful for him having afforded me many more beautiful years with my mom until she passed in 2022 at the age of 83. Dr. Ramaswamy is everything we can hope for in a doctor and I am in awe of his work ethic and devotion to Medicine, thrilled and amazed to see he is still practicing albeit in a different part of the country.

Dr. Ramaswamy's clinical skills, operative techniques and bedside manner are all top-notch. I like that he is a seasoned surgeon who likely has experience in open abdominal surgery and is also a skilled laparoscopic surgeon as well. One look into eyes and I knew I had a skilled physician. My semi-emergent abdominal issue was properly diagnosed, treated via laparoscopic surgery, and recovery was a breeze. Luckily, he only had to remove two offending structures which contributed to my quick recovery. It has been over a month since my surgery and I was back to 100% with in a week.

He is the most caring compassionate surgeon I have ever had. He called me twice himself after I left the hospital. When I had another emergency almost a year later he came and checked on me and made sure I was receiving the right care. How many other Dr s would do that.
