Dr. Deepa Ramachandran – Legit or Scam?

I came across a critical review of Dr. Deepa Ramachandran on a Scam Reporting website – DirtyScam.com, titled ‘She Was Not Available’.

DirtyScam allows anonymous submission of complaints from angry consumers and victims of scams. Since the website is hosted offshore (probably in Russia or India), we take this (negative) review against Dr. Deepa Ramachandran with a pinch of salt.

Here is what the review says –

I wrote to Dr. Deepa Ramachandran to express my disappointment and have not heard back from her.I send it along with my check which has been deposited. I hate to write this bad review but I do feel that people should be aware before coming to this office.1. If you are a new patient, you will need to have two visits for your physical.A pre-physical appointment to collect your health history and order blood work then you have to come back again to go over the bloodwork.If you have insurance with a high deductible, you will be expecting a bill of $200+ since it’s considered an office visit and not your 100% covered routine physical.The next visit will be your physical. I fought the first visit and was able to get it waived but I somehow received another bill for $41.95.I just paid it because I do not want the headache it takes to get it resolved.Dr. Ram goes though a third party biller and you have to call office then biller — back and forth –then office to figure out what’s going on.Never been to a new office where I had to go to two appointments.I took a day off for my first visit and have a busy work schedule so it was extremely inconvenient.2. If you do decide to come here, be careful. I was told I needed a hep B vaccine but luckily they did not have it in stock.I was traveling so I thought I needed it urgently. I went to my occupational health service and requested the vaccine.They asked for my bloodwork and I gave them the results based on what Dr. Ram ordered and told me.The other doctor reviewed my bloodwork and told me that I didn’t have the right test.This just says you don’t have it right now but doesn’t tell me if you’re immune.It was a Thursday and they said I would need more blood work to confirm and wouldn’t be back until the following week.I was leaving that weekend. I called Dr. Ram and her staff said she was not available then after explaining where I was they came back to tell me Dr Ram said that I’m “probably” immune.Imagine if her office did have the vaccine, I could have been given that at random with no evidence that I truly needed it…that’s scary!Though Dr. Ram is very nice, I will not be returning for my medical care.
