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.

Dr. Lakshmanan has been instrumental in improving my quality of life. While I initially tried managing my depression, ADHD, and Substance Use Disorder through a healthy lifestyle, it simply wasn’t enough. Dr. L truly listened to my needs and background, crafting a personalized plan that has completely turned things around for me in such a positive way. Now, I’m able to manage my life effectively and stay productive, free from the long bouts of depression and overwhelming feelings that used to hold me back. I cannot recommend him enough!

Great Psychiatrist!
Telehealth
I first saw Dr. Lakshmanan for derealization and he also took over my treatment for anxiety and ADHD from my PCP. We had to try a few medications to get the right med regimen for me but we now have it right and I feel better than ever! He respected that I wanted to start on low dosages and I really feel like he listens to me and cares about how I am doing. I was diagnosed with cancer recently and he always follows up with me about it. Great doctor, I highly recommend!

Upon follow up, we reviewed the prescription and he made changes as needed. I can definitely say he's help has been crucial to my recovery. It was the help I needed at the time.

I couldn’t have asked for a better psychiatrist!
Telehealth
Dr. Ramaswamy was the first person that ever truly listened, cared, and took me serious. He truly saved my mental health and I don’t know where I would be without his help. He deeply cares for his patients, remembering important things about their lives and checking in. I couldn’t recommend a psychiatrist more and I’m so lucky to have found him.

Huge Impact
Telehealth
Dr. Ramaswamy Lakshmanan is an excellent physician. His focus of diagnosis 'by the book' led him to diagnose me correctly when so many others could not. Just one visit with him had a hug impact on my life. He was also willing to take medication suggestions. As others have stated, he listens well and directs you to a credible source to read more.

I highly recommend
Telehealth
I've received excellent care from Dr. Lakshmanan. I visit him through MDLive, and each visit has been so positive. I feel like he really listens to me. He is patient and kind. On the follow-up visit, he checks to see how I'm adapting to new medications, and if any changes or adjustments need to be made. It's important to have a doctor who you feel really cares for you, and Dr. Lakshmanan cares.

Impossible to coordinate with to fix issues
Telehealth
Did not provide me with my full 3 month perscription for my most important sleeping medication, despite providing a 3 month perscription for my other medications. No way to contact him through MDLive without paying for an additional appointment and his phone number does not connect. A doctor should want to help his patients, and provide them a way to reach out.
