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 compassionate, patient-centered approach to care. Patients frequently describe him as kind, caring, and genuinely concerned about their well-being, with many noting that he takes ample time to listen to their concerns without rushing. His communication skills are highly valued, as he explains complex medical information, diagnoses, and treatment plans in clear, understandable terms. Many patients specifically appreciate that he reviews MRI images directly with them rather than relying solely on radiologist reports. His thoroughness in examinations and assessments is repeatedly mentioned, along with his knowledge and professionalism. Patients also value his collaborative approach, noting that he includes them and their family members in decision-making and treatment planning. His bedside manner and ability to put patients at ease, even when delivering difficult diagnoses, earns particular praise.

Patients also share

The primary areas for improvement mentioned in reviews relate to operational issues rather than clinical care. Several patients noted that Dr. Rukmangadachar speaks softly, making it difficult to hear him at times. Wait times and appointment delays were mentioned by a few patients, with one noting he arrived 20 minutes late to an appointment. A small number of patients felt he didn't adequately address their concerns, with one stating he didn't try to help and another mentioning he disregarded symptoms and didn't review MRI images. One patient noted that when a student was present, the doctor seemed preoccupied with teaching and didn't properly acknowledge the patient upon entering the room. A few reviews mentioned he has a dry or reserved personality, though this was infrequently cited as a concern.
