Millstein, MD > My wife met with Dr. Ramkumar twice to be fully informed prior to agreeing to a complex hip revision. He explained in detail the pros and cons without sugar coating it. The surgery went great. Three weeks later she landed in the hospital on an unrelated issue, Dr Ramkumar learned off her admission and visited her several times over the next month to check on her. I believe the saying “ I don’t care how much you know until I know how much you care!” He cared about the most important person in my life and I would recommend him to anyone who wants a caring and proficient surgeon.
