Amar S. Ranawat's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Amar Ranawat, made me feel very important to take me the next day after my husband called the office the day before. He called more then several orthopedic doctors office , they would give us 2 weeks or more appt. Meanwhile I was in pain with my knee for a week or more before. That shows me that he is a good doctor feels for the patient. This was my first time there to see him. I would recommend anyone who wants a excellent doctor. He did 2 replacement hip surgery on my oldest son in a matter of one month. My son now’s walks straight and with no pain. Thank you Dr. AmarS. Ranawat🙏🏼🙏🏼

Doctor and staff are arrogant, rude and disrespectful, and refuse to cooperate with insurance. I had a consultation for surgery (after getting past the snooty receptionist), but the doctor did not ask me any questions about my symptoms, history, goals, etc. or consult in any way, just complained about some report the whole time as if he were mad at me (weird way to great a new patient). Definitely no signs of caring about me as the patient. I would not let a person like this perform surgery on me no matter how good a surgeon he was technically. Office refused to submit paperwork to insurance that I told them was needed. They kept insisting it was not needed. Then I got stuck with the bill ($775 for a consultation only!) - rejected by insurance because paperwork was not submitted. Called the doctor's office back and they again insisted it was not needed. Still fighting that. They are always right, and the patient is always wrong. I don't need to deal with people like this.

Dr. Renawat did a hip replacement for me two years ago. He was highly recommended and I add my voice to recommend him. He was professional, responsive and empathetic. He is a talented surgeon.

He did a bilateral hip replacement. He insisted everything was fine even though could not walk and was in intense pain. Had to have the procedure revised. He told me to wait two years. It turns out the prostheses were both put in wrong at an inappropriate angle. The correcting surgeon was appalled at the sloppy work.

Amazing first class experience from start to finish. Dr. Ranawat and his staff were courteous and professional. The surgical suites were so impressive. He did surgery on my left, then right shoulder, my husbands knee and my daughter in laws knee that a college team doctor messed up. He fixes/repairs what others can’t. He is one of the best! I see people posting negative reviews about having to provide insurance and MRI information to get an appointment and complaining about it, however if you’ve ever been to a top rated doctor that’s the process. I just made an appointment at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore for an unrelated autoimmune issue and had to do all the same things and never gave it a second thought. It’s the process! Dr. Ranawat is top rated for a reason and there is a process for a reason. For our family seeing him was well worth it.

I had an accident that resulted in a torn gluteus medius, basically the muscle that attaches my leg to my hip tore. I couldn't walk properly. I found Dr. Ranawat through the HSS Referral system. I was nervous about having surgery but i was fearful of anesthesia. Dr. Ranawat reviewed my diagnostics, examined me and determined i did indeed need to have that gluteus repaired. He was kind, informative and competent. He listened to all my concerns and arranged to have the anesthesiologist meet with me to address my worries. I was so impressed with this practice. There is literally a person for every single thing you might need. I went into surgery knowing what would take place and what to expect afterwards. Would you believe i was walking pain free only two hours after waking up in recovery? I was wowed! My dressing was dry, no bleeding. Dr. Ranawat came to see me just as i was walking about with the nurse. He was so happy to see me up and about! He told me i was a real trooper! In reality, he was an excellent surgeon and that made all the difference in my recovery. The anesthesiologist was great and so were the nurses! It was actually a nurse who put in my IV lines prior to surgery. They were able to find my vein quickly and for that i was soo grateful. They kept me overnight to make sure i remained well. The next day they set me up with physical therapy, aftercare, and my follow up appointments and I went home. Pool therapy was hands down the most helpful of all the interventions. A special thanks to Rachel Taylor, Dr. Ranawats right hand. She pretty much handled my pre and aftercare. She was amazingly knowledgeable and very skilled with all the documentation required for work related injuries, and she did everything timely! That is so crucial with work related injuries. I just loved Ranawat Orthopedics. They are now my go to whenever i have any questions or issues. Renee and Paul were also great. Thanks so much guys! Im so grateful to you all!

Whichever woman answers the phone and makes appts should not be working with people. PERIOD.

The lady that answers the phone is beyond rude.

Terrible experience overall. Its one thing to be a good doc & surgeon, but your bedside manner needs to be top notch. I have never felt more angry and violated as I did when I walked out of this over glorified office. Maybe the awards cover up Dr. Ranawats terrible personality and ill communication to his patients for some, but for me it was a dog and pony show! Never ever ever would I allow him to operate on me.

Dr. Ranawat is the best. Did my ACL reconstruction last year and now my shoulder this year. He is an awesome doctor and couldn’t recommend him more. They are an extremely busy office which I think is the reason for some of the reviews but if you find a doctor that isn’t this busy, I would think twice. Thank you as always Dr R!
