This doctor and her staff are so nice, I feel they went out of their way to make me comfortable, listening to all my concerns, and getting everything done for me in one visit. They made something that had been frustrating me (struggling to get a weekend appointment due to work schedule) so much easier due to being open on a Saturday. They were worth the drive from Phoenix. I definitely recommend Dr Raman ....

The doctor was great, super friendly, and helped me with my issues. The check-in process was the worst. I had a 1:30 appointment and wasn’t even in to see the doctor until 2:10. I sat in the waiting room for 15 minutes before even being asked what I was in for and gave some info to the front desk person. I then had to fill out that same information in the room before seeing the doctor.
