Dr. Melanie Ramachandran

"Called 3 times for an appointment, finally received a call back. Hung up on me after I said it shouldn’t take multiple calls to get an answer. Extremely unprofessional."

"I saw Dr. Ramachandran several times during the year 2013. She was extremely condescending and not compassionate. She pressured me to keep using a less-effective birth control method I was not satisfied with and ordered several ultrasounds to monitor ovarian cysts (a side effect of the pill she prescribed me). She repeatedly told me how painful an IUD insertion would be but offered no real pain relief. I was given misoprostol pills to insert and told to take ibuprofen the night before and day of the procedure. She gave me a stress ball to squeeze during the IUD insertion. I almost passed out from the pain. I suspect she inserted it improperly; she told me she doesn’t like inserting IUDs in patients who haven’t given birth before. After the post-insertion follow-up, I never went back to her office. I ended up having the IUD removed less than 2 years later because it caused almost constant discomfort. I’ve had terrible medical anxiety and trauma since then, which I’ve worked hard to process and overcome in therapy. I will never forgive her for how she treated me."

"In my experience this facility does not support a single father taking his daughter to this GYN. Very condensending attitudes. Even failed to allow me to voice my concerns to an office manage showing if you sweep it under the carpet... it never happened."

"This office is amazing. I called today for a prescription refill, and our pharmacy called today to tell me it is on its way. I have never experienced that anywhere else. I see Dr. Ramachandran, she is so nice and I always feel comfortable with her. I would without hesitation recommend her for your OB GYN needs..."

"I’m a fairly new patient. I like Dr. Ramachandran. She was nice and personable on my first visit. But the staff that answered my call today was just awful. I was telling her that l’m experiencing pain on my left pelvic area for a couple of days now. And I was wondering if I could see the doctor the next day. In a very stern tone she answered “We are not open tomorrow!” It was all she said. She could not even muster a “I’m sorry that you’re in pain. And feel better soon. We’re open on Monday, would you like to make an appointment?” A little kindness and compassion goes a long way. There’s just No excuse for Rudeness, ever."
