Dr. Ramana Kankanala, MD

For 2 years he dismissed my concerns and misdiagnosed a spot on my head as dandruff. One visit with a new PCP and I was correctly diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma. I have never seen a more uncaring physician!

My wife and I are big fans of Dr K. It's comforting to have a real relationship with a doctor. He listens to all of my concerns, gives amazing recommendations, & actually takes the time to help me with my problems. We love the attention we receive. You won't be disappointed.

My father has been seeing this doc for few years. I accompanied him few times. He paid attention to what my father had to say and then asked more questions to understand the issues better. He seemed to really care for his patients do well. Will definitely recommend him to others. Thanks Dr.K.

Dr.Kankatala is very knowledgeable and have patience to listen to my issues and very attentive .I had a very pleasant experience and he is truly wonderful,caring physician.

Me and my spouse have been seeing Dr.Kankanala for almost 10 years now. He has been wonderful for us, always available , attentive . He understands our limitations and provides the best possible care. Always thorough and respectful . He is cheerful and seems like he enjoys his work.We have referred him to friends and relatives and they all have given positive reviews about him.

Doesn't listen. Doesn't answer questions. Talks to his computer more than the patient. He's disrespectful and arrogant. He rushed the appointment after he was almost an hour late for my appointment. Did not bother to apologize for being late. That behavior alone is indicative of the kind of doctor he is. He lacks basic manners. This level of medical care is worse than no care at all. Doctors wonder why patients self-diagnose and self-treat - he's why. I absolutely do not trust his knowledge or advice. Don't bother being a doctor unless you really like people and really want to understand and help them. I cannot state strongly enough how awful he is and I will be contacting my insurance provider.

I have noticed since I have been seeing him since he started practice in Springfield, Mo.Dr Kankanala is totally against Natural Pathic Dr's and doesn't think you should use natural Thyroid medicine or anything natural. I had noticed when my husband has went with me to my Dr's Appt Dr Kankanala is a totally different person. He interacts more with my husband and very pleasant with him. When I'm by myself he is not that way. Have seriously for the last 3 yrs changing Dr's. Avilla, Mo.

My wife and I both use this man as our PCP. We are both very pleased with his professionalism.

Professional, upto the point. No sugar coating . Gives me options and what’s best for my health.Me and my husband have been seeing him for last 5 years . Highly recommend to others.

It was bad enough that I found a new doctor... All of the bad reviews and then some. Told me I needed a mental evaluation! I am very old and have the same old people problems but, to be insulted in that manner was rude, condescending and mean spirited. Find a new doctor people this one is in it for the money or to feed his own ego.

He does seem to be in a hurry,but he has many patients to see. He's never seemed arrogant to me. Just straight forward and to the point. He's been interested in looking into issues I've had and gives direct feedback to me. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

Have seen for 2 to 3 years. Arrogant, condescending, doesn't spend enough time with you to even find out what your problem is. Don't waste your time with him. I wish I would have switched from him a long time ago, but I thought he might get better. He has no bedside manner and acts like he could care less you are there; in it for the money, I'd say. Made an appointment to see a doctor somewhere else. I advise you to do the same.

i can't give a 4.75 so i have to give a 5. he not the best ever, but he's damn good. it takes a couple visits to establish rapport. i like that he uses his computer a lot rather than relying solely on memory and experience. modern medicine changes quickly and no one can know all the new info available and he doesn't pretend he does. he is often unavailable for an immediate appointment but the PA's are a great resource if you need to be seen today. often just a phone call can fix everythin

Dr. Kankanala saved my fathers life. He was miserable going from doctor to doctor till we found this doctor . He was detailed and patient and was very comforting . Will highly recommend .

I agree with other reviews here, Dr Kankanala is very arrogant and condescending. During my second annual checkup in August, I tried to ask him about some pain in my feet and legs, he interrupted me and said that I was there for a checkup, if I had other issues I should set up a separate appointment for each issue. It made me feel like I was trying to short his billable hours. But, it was especially frustrating that he showed no interest in helping me with anything other than the checkup.

Seeing past 3 years. A communication barrier. Answers questions annoyed, short lacking info. Will argue vs check chart. I questioned qty on RX told me he was right so far taken 6 months to fix hope I get right qty & no insurance hassle this month. New RX insert defined who should not take and that was me. Gave different RX instead but I shouldn't take it either. New RX landed me in ER. My spouse comes along Dr talks down to me but respectful to spouse. Lookin for new Dr

Dr. Kankanala is awesome. We lost 2 doctors to retirement and we were referred to Dr. Kankanala.. He understood my issues, medicine and spoke to me about other treatment options that I had not been given before. I asked many questions and he was able to give me answers.

Arrogant, avoids answering questions, doesn’t give patient options, hard to talk to. Patient doesn’t seem to have a say. Would not recommend

always in a hurry, does not know my medications and other history, maybe bad records.
