TESTIMONIALS

I consulted Dr Ramiah for a second opinion after my very well known surgeon who operated on me for my breast cancer referred me to another oncologist. I am so glad I did. He was a complete breath of fresh air after the terrible experience with the first oncologist that I consulted. He has impeccable bedside manner, and presents all the options of treatment.

When I was diagnosed with rectal cancer in 2012, I was devastated. The fear of the unknown and death were unbearable. Dr Ramiah made this journey so much easier. He explains the treatment so that anyone can understand, and is always available if you are having any issues. I had my chemoradiation, followed by surgery, and I’m glad to say I’m still cancer free. Thanks Dr Ramiah

Great guy. Superb physician. I went to lots of oncologists before being lucky enough to him. He was a real revelation compared to the rest of them

I can’t say enough good things about Dr Ramiah. He really made my cancer treatment much more manageable

Extremely knowledgeable. Very kind, and an excellent oncologist. He was really a breath of fresh air after the number of doctors I had seen sing being diagnosed with breast cancer
