Dr. Ratkalkar is a very knowledgeable doctor and has wonderful bedside manners. He always takes sufficient time to properly diagnose and treat patients. Additionally, he shows a very genuine concern and high level of sincere caring. The office staff, overall, is very helpful as well, except one of the front desk persons who tends to be very unfriendly, even somewhat nasty. It is generally very easy to schedule an appointment, and I only had to wait for a very long time (approx. 2 hours) once.

Pros:Extremely pleasant and always accurate in diagnostics. Desk staff is very courteous as well. Cons:Wait time is always very long -- appears to always overbook patients.
