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.

I do recommend this doctor at all.
Very Bad.. Cold and blunt. He told me I had lupus, but said I had high positive on one part of the test. Also, my blood test, I was told I didn't have to fast, but my research says I was supposed to fast. My last visit was at 10 am, I waited 40 minutes and no bothered to tell me when I would be seen,I left they called me after one hour (11 am) i spoke me mind and she hung up on me. The office staff is nothing to rave about either 2 of 5 stars for them

Dr. Ramaswamy is a PASS
I have been his patient for several years and he is very blunt and rude. When he revealed my diagnosis, I started to cry when I heard that my condition could not be cured. He didn't even acknowledge my pain and just told me where to get my meds and left the room. Each of my appointments that I've had with him since then, were similar. He would do whats required but he never smiled, never showed empathy, and explained things in an overly complicated way. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS DOCTOR. VERY RUDE AND UNCARING

Previous Patient at Southland Arthritis – Jul 05, 2022

My experience was the same as the patient from Menifee. Very mechanical and not interested in answering questions or helping me to understand my diagnosis of Lupus. When I asked questions, he told me to go on the internet because there is good information there. Very unhappy with this kind of response and treatment from an alleged respected physician.

He "never" saw my wife. He analyzed her over the phone, long after other Dr's were seeing patients again (post C-19). Ordered some tests, read the results, again over the phone, and said, "oh, you have Lupus, I'll prescribe some medications!". We didn't take the meds because they were for advanced stages and changed doctors. Even her primary Dr was upset the way this was handled, very unprofessional and mechanical, to say the least. If you're looking for a "caring" doctor, then you need to keep looking.

I had the worst experience of my life with this physician. He was negligent in his care of me. He told me in 2014 to discontinue the medication Cymbalta overnight. This resulted is a withdrawal syndrome that is well documented in the medical literature. I still suffer some after-effects of this instruction. He never acknowledged he was wrong in this. I cannot recommend him as a physician I would ever go to again.

I begin my appointment hoping for a specialist that cares, enjoys expanding his medical knowledge/treatments with me & all patients, & treats me as he will treat his sister.... The last few visits he has actually started to laugh at me...not with me...because I am not joking. My vibe regarding his demeanor continues to fade. I requested another provider so I can compare & know I am taking my own care seriously....especially considering how much $$$$ each visit costs me & insurance providers!
