Dr. Chitra Ramakrishnan, MD

Possibly the best doctor I have ever met in my life. The most amazing woman on earth.

I've seen this doctor more than 7 times. I will say I like the Glendale location better than the Pasadena one as the staff at Glendale are very personable and extremely nice so it is like you are in small town clinic. Pasadena seems like a typical medical office but the staff is nice and professional. I do not say she is the best doctor I have ever had lightly. She is positive, listens extremely well, has a fabulous bedside manner (she actually has emotional affect unlike most still faced doctors), does not treat symptoms lightly, spends time with you, answers all your questions, tells you if she doesn't know the answer but will guide you to a doctor that might be able to answer the question, AND most important to me right now - she actually calls to consult with the other specialists that I see (sometimes while I am there). She does this in writing or phone calls. I feel like I am actually getting coordinated care. And if you say you can't afford the medications, she really tries… to work with you to figure out other medications or how to get them for less cost. Oh, and she demonstrates exactly how to take the medications which is very important. Found out I had been taking one inhaler wrong for years because nobody ever showed me how. And, she works with you until you get it.

Dr. Ramakrishnan is a patient, caring, understanding doctor with an outstanding bedside manner -- something lacking with most of the medical community these days, at least here in California. I would highly recommend her care to both friends and family.

I am 63 yrs and have had many doctors but have NEVER known a more caring and capable doctor in my life. She saved my life and has been so wonderful in the two and a half years I have been her patient. She always has time to talk with you and never makes you feel that you are being rushed. She has the best bedside manner and if we have to move I will sorely miss her. I don't think I could ever find a better or more caring doctor. Kudos to Dr. Ramakrishnan!

This is the most caring Doctor I've ever met. She spent the time we needed and worked diligently on the referrals and authorizations for care and equipment we needed. Excellent follow through.

Dr. Ramakrishnan was very professional, caring, and honest in her diagnosis and treatment. I have full confidence that, for what was needed, better treatment could not be found elsewhere.

I was happy with the care and concern she showed me. She took her time and answered all my questions and was very kind and approachable. I have a follow up visit in 2 weeks and hopefully will get the same treatment. One negative - I had to wait an hour for my appointment and that was a drag because I showed up on time.
