Dr. Ramya K. Rao, MD

I had a deeply disappointing experience with Dr. Ramya K. Rao. As someone struggling with alopecia, I was already feeling vulnerable and emotional when I consulted her. Unfortunately, I was met with a complete lack of sympathy or compassion. Despite being visibly upset and even in tears during our conversation, Dr. Rao remained detached and dismissive, offering no emotional support or reassurance. Her approach was very cut and dry, which made me feel more like an inconvenience than a patient seeking help. When I tried to express that I wasn’t feeling comfortable or getting a good vibe from the interaction, instead of addressing my concerns professionally, she chose to abruptly end the conversation by hanging up on me. This behavior felt incredibly unprofessional and hurtful. I left the experience feeling worse than before, and I would not recommend Dr. Rao to anyone seeking a dermatologist who truly listens, supports, and treats their patients with compassion and respect.

Dr. V is personable and really listens to her patients. She does amazing cosmetic work, too!

Dr. Vangipuram is an extraordinary dermatologist. I have received excellent care from her. She made me feel comfortable and treated me like family. I was nervous about Botox and she answered all my questions. I love my results. I would recommend her to anyone of my friends and family

I had underarm Botox by Dr. Vangipuram for excessive underarm sweating and it has been lifechanging! I can wear colored clothing now. Dr. Vangipuram was very gentle and had great bedside manner. She talked me through the whole procedure and checked in frequently as I was a bit nervous about needles. Will definitely see her again for future sessions!

I'm writing this review on behalf of a family member who saw Dr. Vangipuram for an issue. He waited >1 hour for the appointment, and the visit lasted <15 min. She did not do a thorough physical exam, did not order pertinent testing, prescribed a medication which was not standard of care, and failed to explain her decision-making. Multiple attempts to reach her/her staff to understand why this happened went unanswered. I cannot recommend this physician to anyone.
