Thank God for leading me to Dr. Ramachandran as I needed a long overdue lumbar fusion on 5 lumbar and 2 discs replaced. I was at the point of not being able to walk or stand very long. He gave me a book to read and called me before the surgery. It lasted 7 1/2 hours and he visited me every day in the hospital until I was able to go home. 2 weeks later I drove myself to his office and was off all pain medication! I haven't had any pain and can now work on getting the strength back in my legs. The Home Health nurses all said, ... read more

I was having numbness and pain in both my arms for almost a year. My neurologist explained that I could become paralyzed if I didn’t have surgery. While waiting for a referral to a surgeon I heard about Dr. Ravi in Folsom from my ophthalmologist. I called his office, no need to wait months for a referral to process (with my PPO plan). Dr. Ravi reviewed my MRI and his staff made an appt for me. Dr. Ravi is brilliant, kind, and does an amazing surgical job! My surgery was scheduled quickly and I still hadn’t heard back on the ... read more

I've been thinking for weeks now of what to say in a review for Doctor Ravi. I've struggled with how to accurately describe when 1000 characters or less how much of an impact and change for the better that Dr Ravi has had in my life, and that since meeting Dr Ravi...I can now have a life! I have suffered, in every sense of the word, for years with unimaginable pain and unexplainable symptoms that just didn't seem to make sense. Dr Ravi reviewed my neck MRI and told me with complete confidence, "I can fix this". And those are... read more

I had injured my back in July 2019 and had taken it easy, trying to rest my back as I had with back past injuries. My pain was only getting worse and finally, after ending up in the ER on October 8, 2019, Dr. Ravi saw me the next day and explained my condition and I felt immediately hopeful. He reviewed my MRI and detailed the procedure that would alleviate my pain. I was extremely apprehensive about any surgery on my back, but the pain was intolerable. Dr. Ravi performed a right Lumbar Microdiscectomy 10 days later and I co... read more

I am a very active 63 y.o. Woman who had suffered with debilitating sciatic nerve pain for the past 9 months. I was unable to stand for more than 5 minutes without severe pain. I tried 3 different types of physical therapy, acupuncture, Bowen’s therapy, 3 lumbar injections, and a myriad of homeopathic treatments, I was finally introduced to Dr. Ravi. He was very conservative in his approach to my case and only recommended surgery after all other modalities were exhausted. I had microdiscectomy surgery and was immediately pai... read more

Dr. Ravi is always so pleasant to be around. He has a calming demeaner and is extremely intelligent. He has helped me so much through this whole process. He even provided me his personal cell phone number for emergencies and gave me a personal call before surgery to answer any questions I had! Wonderful doctor, intelligent man. I am incredibly lucky to be a patient of his. Go to him if you have back pain! He is one of a kind.

I was injured after a fall and went to ER. Dr. Ravi was the referred physician. He examined the MRI and determined that I needed surgery ASAP for cervical injuries. He performed the surgery on a holiday...July 4th. My recovery is going well and a follow up exam with Dr. Ravi was a positive experience. He is good at what he does and he knows it.

Dr. Ravi truly gave me my life back! He is an incredible surgeon with a calm, patient & warm bedside manner! He made me feel valued during my appointments & I never felt rushed as he answered my questions, thoroughly & with a quiet confidence that I appreciated. When I had my initial consultation with Dr. Ravi in June 2019, I could barely walk for two minutes, & could not stand still at all, before being struck by severe nerve pain throughout my leg &foot. I am now 6 weeks post-op after a microdiscectomy & I have been pain f... read more

I love the results of my back surgery, and it is due to the excellent surgery that Dr. Ramachandran did. If you are looking for a highly qualified Surgeon to do your back surgery you will not find a better one. He easily deserves 5 stars.
