I went in with a lot of pelvic pain and embarrassing symptoms which she thoroughly went over and handled gently and quickly with the utmost professionalism. I was extremely embarrassed and I didn't feel uncomfortable or shamed about my symptoms. I will continue seeing her, great doctor!

The clinic was not clean especially the bathroom
May 5, 2019Marie France M.Verified patient
Left utterly demoralized. Told physician I was working with a fertility clinic, but that I had to have an appointment in my home country to check the size of fibroids, in order to have them removed. She made a huge point of insisting that I would never conceive because I had fibroids. (Note, I was perfectly aware of this, it was the entire point of the visit, to check size, position etc.) Left office and wound up crying to my fertility specialist over the phone at a bus stop—they'd been working with me for quite some time and were utterly appalled at what I'd been told. After a myomectomy (which again, checking pre-conditions for operation was the point of the entire visit) I conceived perfectly well. Traumatizing.

I will not be going back. While she is professional, she is unreliable and hard to communicate over the phone. It makes you not come back.

Dr. Ramanathan's office did not seem clean and the lighting in the office is very dim. She was very short with me and seemed annoyed when I asked any questions.

Unfortunately Dr. Ramanathan's office did not have ultrasound equipment on site or carry out blood tests. They also do not accept payment by card. She is very pleasant and attentive but it was a waste of time going there of she was not able to properly diagnose me or willing to process my health insurance, which is UnitedHealthcare..very confusing.

It was hard to find!! it took me an hour to find it using google maps!!
once i arrived after walking around lost for 30 mins. I was told she did not take debit card and had to walk around for atm for another 15 mins. It was so hot that day. I almost just went home!
The visit was fast. I asked for HIV testing. i dont know if i got it. i am waiting for my results.
i dont know if she is a good doctor, a fast one, a bad one. She answers my questions and made me comfortable.

January 12, 2019Preetinanda P.Verified patient
Her office isn’t a conventional office, more like a home turned into an office. She is great! Kind. Soft spoken and let’s you ask questions without having that annoyed get out my office thing. She’s patient and cares about what you have to say. If you’re looking for someone who doesn’t make you feel like you have to hurry up and get out- then go to her. She also doesn’t mind explaining things in detail. Awesome!

Doctor was great receptionist not so much
Location wasn't all that good either felt like i was in an underground doctor office getting ready to sell my kidney on the black market

First impressions - the waiting area was dark, small, and a little sketchy... Did not feel like a doctors office at all. The doctor however, was very kind. She was honest, knowledgeable, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire consultation/exam. She took a lot of time to ask me questions and get to know me before the exam, and seemed to genuinely care. I was even late to my appointment and still did not feel rushed at all. She is the best gynecologist I have been to thus far.
October 20, 2018Elizabeth C.Verified patient
Dr. Ramanathan was so kind. I feel that she was meant to be one of my Doctors! I honestly don't think I have ever felt this cared for by a physician and she is knowledgeable and fast!
October 15, 2018Natalie O.Verified patient
this was my first time at a Gyno and I felt comfortable telling her my concerns. I’m glad I didn’t have a awkward/weird first experience seeing a Gyno. She’s very sweet + funny and tried to accommodate me when I kept telling her to send my prescription to Capsule!
August 20, 2018Wendy L.Verified patient
Very sweet doctor that is knowledgeable about her craft. I slightly felt uncomfortable with her office as it seemed untraditional to a doctors office but she was very clean and quick.

Dr. Devbala is very professional and thorough. She can be serious but she made me feel comfortable throughout my check-up. I felt heard and respected. She took the time to explain things which other doctors would dismiss. I would highly recommend her.
