Patients appreciate
Dr. Ramakrishna Behara consistently receives exceptional praise for his outstanding listening skills and communication abilities. Patients repeatedly emphasize that he takes time during visits, never rushes them, and makes them feel heard and validated. His bedside manner is described as warm, caring, personable, and compassionate, with multiple reviewers noting his excellent eye contact and genuine interest in their concerns. Patients appreciate his thoroughness in explaining diagnoses, treatment options, and medical information in clear, understandable terms without being condescending. His knowledge and expertise, particularly in gastroenterology and digestive diseases, are frequently highlighted. Many reviewers mention that he comes to appointments already familiar with their medical history and presents multiple treatment options, including natural remedies, while respecting patient preferences. The office staff also receives consistent praise for being professional, kind, efficient, and pleasant.
Patients also share
The reviews reveal very few areas for improvement. One patient mentioned waiting a month and a half to get an appointment, expressing some impatience about the wait time, though they ultimately felt the visit was worth it. A few reviews noted that the survey request seemed premature after only one visit. However, these comments are minimal and do not represent significant patterns of concern across the patient feedback.
