I have several health issues and many doctors and specialists, but Dr Ravi put me and my husband at ease with the very first appointment. He was friendly, patient, answered any and all questions and just saint leave the room until he knew we had all the information we wanted. After our first visit I was already being scheduled for surgery in no time! I had cervical fusion and 2 disks replaced. Since I’m already on pain management for other issues I was very worried about recovery! It was amazing!!! The pain was minimal, the ... read more

Since having my neck fusion surgery, I no longer have pain, burning, numbing sensation in my arms. I no longer have pain and pressure in my neck and head. Life is great post surgery. My fusion has been a life changing event. I would highly recommend Dr. Ravi based on my excellent outcome. He listens to my concerns and is very thorough and detailed in his responses. He is exceptionally responsive.

Finally! Relief!! After enduring chronic neck pain for 30 years, Dr. Ravi fused my C3-C6 (ACDF). Now that that darn collar is off (you will hate it for 6 weeks), I am enjoying relief from the pain that dogged me for years. Dr. Ravi is a quiet, gentle and very professional man. His surgical team (also exceptionally professional and very thorough) at Mercy Hospital in Folsom told me that he was an excellent surgeon and I agree.

Compassion far outweighs insurance type in treatment. I left with my hope completely dashed so sad but I'm a strong woman and I'll move on. I did not realize he'd only been in practice for such a short. Of time otherwise I would not have seen him. He's extremely charismatic extremely intelligent and I am quite sure knows his field.

I had been suffering from severe back and nerve pain for 18 months. I asked my primary care for a referral and he stated he always refers his patients to Dr. Ravi. Within a week we got a call back and a few days later a consultation with Dr. Ravi. A short later the surgery was performed. I really like Dr. Ravi, he is straight forward and clear in what needed to be done. The back fusion surgery went flawless. The pain was nearly gone right away and 2 months later is very low. I am very pleased

If I could give Dr Ravi a 10 I would- he kept me informed through the entire process of having my L3 and 4 worked on and repaired- he exceeded my expectations and kept me at ease at all times- I highly recommend Dr Ravi and his efficient staff- I never had an issue start to finish- I am totally pain free and have been since the day of surgery- now to get my muscles in shape

First, Ramachandran is a referral Surgeon. He doesn't do exams or consider what else might me causing the pain. He does what he's told to do by other Doctors. Then even when he's in there, doing surgery, he's not looking at what else might be wrong, he's just doin what he was told to do.

Most horrific experience I've ever had in my life was with Ramachandran. Don't let his Diplomas and cuteness fool you. Laziest Doctor I've ever met and he doesn't do examinations.

My experience with Dr Ravi was enlightening. He made me feel very comfortable and reassured about having surgery. After reading his bio I’m very confident in his abilities. He’s very charming, well spoken and VERY easy on the eyes. Will update after upcoming surgery
