Outstanding visit. Fast, in my experience, intake. Incredibly friendly staff. As a new patient Dr. Ram took the time to understand me and my health background. Good documentation provided of treatment provided/recommended along with detailed referral documents.

This was my second visit to Dr.Venkataram and was a full physical. Everyone from the front office folks to the assistant that took my vitals and EKG were very friendly and pleasant. Dr. Venkataram spent a good amount of time going over my blood work and answering all my questions. He is very professional and easy to talk to.

I needed refills on meds for a legitimate condition actually many conditions, he refused to even write anything for 2 weeks so I could get set up with pain management. I had mri of the cyst on my pituitary gland, mri of my herniated discs my old dr s records. Then after not helping me at all I got a letter in the mail saying he no longer can be my Dr.. he may be a great dr. For other things but the sympathy he lacks. I understand ppl fake pain and lie to these docs, I had my records. So if you're in pain he will not help
