Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great doctor
I was referred to Dr. Ranganathan because my primary care doctor thought I might have an auto-immune disease. She was so nice and caring, and immediately made me feel comfortable. She is very thorough and ordered many tests, and is a great diagnostician. She and her office respond to messages quickly.

Dr. Ranganathan
I have had nothing but attentive office visits with the Dr. Ranganathan. She has listened to my concerns and attended to my requests. I have always been able to spend as much time as needed with her. My questions were answered, and my medications were all discussed. I have been a patient for many years and have never had an unpleasant experience when visiting her office. The reason for the 4 stars is sometimes it's difficult to get an appointment.

Do not visit Dr. Ranganathan if you want someone who you feel understands you and your disease. If you are in the first so many years of your rheumatological disease process, she will have nothing of value for you. The disease better be jumping off of the table when she walks into the room, otherwise she will not have empathy for you. Extremely dismissive and inconsiderate. I have been very disappointed every time that I have had a visit with her.
