Dr. Rajesh Ramachandran, MD

I had the same experience as the last post. My spleen was lacerated. The office was not helpful and would not pay my doctor and hospital bills. I am also a small person. This happened in June of 2024. I wish I had posted sooner. Maybe she would have read my review and not had this experience.

My wife went in for routine colonoscopy procedure early in the morning. By approximately 4 PM, she was having severe pains in her upper left quadrant. We call the doctor's office which was closed but voice message recommended going to the emergency room and that's what we did. Her pain was so intense that it took three Oxy C and eventually a dose of Fent anyl to take the edge off of the pain. X-ray showed the fluid around her spleen. During a follow-up phone call the following day, the doctor admitted that due to my wife's small stature he should have used a pediatric endoscope. The emergency room bill was over $16,000.00. I was provided contact information for their VP of compliance Cheryl Harrison and submitted a letter of claim and supporting information requesting that they accept at least the co-pay charges for the emergency room visit. The practice declined to pay for any of the emergency room charges that were aused by their doctors action.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Raj. He is with my gastroenterology group and was the physician on call when I was admitted to the hospital. He has the best bedside manner of any doctor I have ever seen. He is so knowledgeable and so kind. I would highly recommend him if you need a gastroenterologist.
