Three times last year, Dr Ramaswamy showed me that she is truly an advocate for her patients. Twice last year I traveled to Europe.
The first time I fell and broke my nose in Ireland. When I came home I was congested and went to see her. She would not let me leave until her staff had scheduled X-rays that day for my head and face and made an appointment for me with an ENT. The second trip I came home feeling really sick. I was in her office on Monday morning. This time I had Covid . She did order X-rays as soon as I was covid clear. She followed up because my heart rate had been high and she did not like something she’d seen on my EKG. I went to a cardiologist and luckily it was OK.
She did a lecture on Gut Flora for her patient which was wonderful. I was interested in losing weight and getting healthy. We talked about that at my physical. She not only recommended a nutritionist , but he followed up and called me. In a short time, I have dramatically changed my diet and exercise routine and have lost 10% of my body weight ( which was stable for 20 years , yet in the obese range). I feel so much better knowing that I have developed healthier habits and can hopefully keep Diabetes and Heart disease at bay.
Her staff is wonderful as well. You go into the office feeling like you have people who truly care about your well being.
