Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice. Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure. Not all members participating in contracted networks have "in network" access. In network participation may change from time to time without prior notice. Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of healthcare services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: 1.877.810.0372. This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice.

Overview of patient comments

Summary created using AI

Patients appreciate

Dr. Lokesh Rukmangadachar receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from patients who consistently praise his professionalism, knowledge, and compassionate bedside manner. Patients frequently describe him as kind, caring, and patient, noting that he takes time to listen to their concerns and doesn't rush appointments. His ability to explain complex medical information in clear, understandable terms is mentioned repeatedly, with many patients appreciating that he reviews imaging studies like MRIs directly with them rather than relying solely on radiologist reports. Patients value his thoroughness in examinations and his collaborative approach to developing treatment plans. Many reviewers specifically mention feeling comfortable, at ease, and confident in his care, with several noting he is the best doctor they've encountered for their neurological conditions.

Patients also share

The reviews identify several areas for improvement, though negative feedback is relatively limited. The most common complaint involves wait times, with patients reporting he sometimes arrives late to appointments or that office wait times are excessive. A few patients note that Dr. Rukmangadachar speaks softly, making it difficult to hear him at times. There are isolated concerns about him appearing distracted when teaching students, with one patient feeling he didn't acknowledge them properly upon entering the room. A small number of reviews express dissatisfaction with his level of engagement, with one patient feeling he didn't try to help and another stating he disregarded their concerns and didn't review their MRI images. One reviewer also mentioned he has a "dry personality."

Patient comments are gathered from our Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey and are displayed in their entirety. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.
