Samanaicker Ranganathan's Online Review Report Card

Stay away from this Primary Care Physician. I was sent to Dr. Ranganathan by the Social Security Administration for a General Medical, Spine, Lumber X-ray, A/P&L Evaluation appointment several months ago. The doctor would ask questions to confuse me and disregarded the answers that I would give him. For example, instead of asking, "Do you have any trouble with doing tasks around the house?" He would ask "You don't have trouble doing tasks around the house, right?" Inferring the answer before one was give to him. He completely steamrolled me throughout the entire appointment and I could not get a word in edgewise. Coming to his own conclusions without any care of my health issues and concerns!!! But, of course, he is going to be on the side of Social Security when they are the ones lining his pockets. If you are going to trust a provider like that, go for it, but I would stay far away from Dr. Ranganathan and search for a better (and TRUE) Primary Care Physician elsewhere!

Kindness , most realistic, honest doctor I’ve ever seen. And I have seen a few.

I had a great experience with this doctor and staff. They were all very pleasant and knowledgeable. I would recommend this practice to anyone in need of a doctor. It's very hard these days to find a doctor with five stars!!

Kind and considerate nurse and x-ray tech. They were extremely helpful when I had mobility issue.

This office staff greeted me and my daughter with such warmth and smiles. they helped with paperwork and walked me through everything that would occur when i went back to see the nurse. The nurse was very kind and assisted me with sitting and standing. She also explained every step of her evaluation before taking me to a room. Dr. Sam was amazing !!! He was spot on with everything that I was dealing with physically. I was impressed with his skills and the knowledge base he displayed concerning my issues. He was very thorough and was not rushing through any of my concerns or diagnostics.

It seemed he already had his mind made about my diagnosis. He went through the motions of an actual evaluation with no intention of seeking the truth or my thoughts on the situation. I found him to be short, condescending, and uninterested. At one point I did not turn my head fast enough for him so he struck my jaw and pushed my head to the side. He would ask me a question about my condition then if I was not sure of the answer he would say I have the info right here, as if he was simply trying to embarrass me and/ or catch me in a lie. One of my symptoms is memory problems which he knew. I was required to go to this man by Social Security. He is obviously loyal to them and disproving patients needs for disability.

If I could give a zero I would. Apparently, he doesnt care about patients who deserve social security! He has no compassion and he likes to yell at patients. His staff is as rude as he is. I WOULD NEVER EVER EVER REFER HIM!

Staff barely looked you in the eye. Shut their window quickly and kept you waiting over 30 minutes with an appointment on their uncomfortable chairs.. Dr did not really delve into my symptoms or try to resolve therm.. So sad.. I do not plan to go back.

In & out in just a few minutes. Went through the motions like a robot. Talked over me.

Dr. Ranganathan and staff are wonderful and knowledge. They have always taken care of me and have my best interests at heart
