"The appointment felt rushed from the start... I felt dismissed and unheard throughout the entire visit. As other reviewers have mentioned, if your condition is not immediately obvious or “textbook,” there seems to be little patience or empathy."
— WebMD Care review of Dr. Prabha Ranganathan"I saw her 10 years ago, and I still remember how horribly rude and condescending she was... WashU should have cut this provider loose a long time ago... AVOID HER AT ALL COSTS!"
— Vitals review of Dr. Maria C. Gonzalez-Mayda"He appears knowledgeable but he does not have a good bedside manner. He is rarely in the office & does not return phone calls... he lacks sympathy & can be dismissive of serious symptoms."
