Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The Best
Forever grateful for Dr. Ramakrishna. He’s an amazing surgeon, he cured my son from Cushing’s disease . When I went to Dr. Ramakrishna office for a second opinion, I knew right away that he would be the one to cure my son , he was very confident and reassuring that he will be able to remove the tumor in the pituitary gland. Dr.Ramakrishna’s amazing experience made my son’s surgery a complete success and his recovery was quick and easy . Would highly recommend Dr. Ramakrishna for any pituitary surgery.

Good demeanor
My appointment with Dr Ramakrishna was prior to radiation, as my neurosurgeon is not licensed for the specific radiation I needed. He came in smiling and was very upbeat. He told me he was already reviewing my MRI with the radiation oncologist, which made me glad he was ahead of my condition and treatment. He made me feel at ease.

Excellent bed side manners, explains v well
Dr. Ramkrishna is caring and very respectful. He took the time and explained all about the surgery clearly. All our questions and doubts were answered. He made us extremely comfortable and was easy to make a decision to get the surgery done at Cornell. His staff and nurse practitioner also was very good and gave us necessary information. Very impressive and organised clinic.

One of the best in his field
Dr. Ramakrishna is awesome. His calm demeanor and confidence during the consult made me feel at ease during what is a traumatic ailment and discussion on what could be my options and next steps. His back office/ scheduling dept. and the front office were also very professional and followed up regularly leading up to the appt. in NYC. Gives me more time and comfort to prepare for the next steps. Highly recommend.

When I was diagnosed with a meningioma inside the cranium in 2020, he was reassuring and most definitely comforting with an exact analysis of the situation. I consider him an outstanding surgeon with all the monitoring that this tumor requires. His post operative conferences in 2021 and 2022 have been clear and informative, all done with his gentle sense of humor. I am most pleased that our life paths have crossed.

Beyond excellent.
Our first few meetings were virtual due to Covid and my geographical distance; Dr Ramakrishna first recommended a wait/watch approach ~ which I appreciated, knowing I needed some time to prepare mentally and physically for one of the wildest rides of my life. A trust was established, making me feel I would be in the best of hands. When he arrived immediately post surgery with a big smile, to announce he was able to save one of my olfactory nerves and able to remove the entire tumor, I felt such elation. What more can I say than I love him, I appreciate his judgment, level of expertise, his patience with all my questions. His entire team was excellent.

Brain surgery is frightening, especially during the COVID lockdown. If you are in NY, you will be in the best hands with Dr. Ramakrishna and his team. His transparency, range of experience, pre/post-op check-ins, and Cornell resources made the surgery and recovery much easier. He did a very impressive job with removing a complicated tumor. I also appreciate that he brings diversity to my neurosurgery team.
