I am very excited to be a new patient of Dr. Raman. I have been trying to locate a compassionate and competent primary care physician. All of the staff at the office was very friendly and made me feel like a person and not just another patient. I cannot wait to try out the weight loss aspect of the practice. I highly recommend Dr. Raman to anyone whos looking for a new primary care physician or a new weight loss approach.Thank you and take care!

They are ALWAYS diligent, helpful, empathetic and kind. I love Dr. Raman and their staff! I can’t speak their praises enough.

Everything is good with the exception of the phones. Its hard to get them to answer the phone and if I leave a message they never call me back. I was referring my daughter and after a few attempts to make an appointment and no one answered she decided to go else where. So sad because I really like Dr. Raman.

Great doctors and nurses. My only gripe is how hard it is to reach someone. Otherwise, typical American doctor experience.

Have been coming here for awhile now and have always had an amazing experience with the medical staff here. They are well trained and always take care of our well being as a family. However, the new medical staff member known as “Jeff” needs to be fired and stripped of his license. He has no knowledge of how insurance companies work and when questioned about a payment just claimed he didn’t know and that we needed to pay. They got upset we were correct and were asked to leave after we started filming them verbally attacking us. The video will be posted online for viewing and to deter people from visiting this office. DO NOT VISIT THIS DOCTORS OFFICE. I will also be reporting this office to the Arizona medical board.

Dont let the negativity give you doubts, this place is fantastic. Ive been without a PCP for a long time. Ive spent hours researching centers and other primary care doctors around me, and this was *the best* fit for my situation. I show up to my appointments on time, and Im nice; as a result, the staff is also nice to me. Weird how that works...Im very happy with my experience and look forward to continuing my healthcare journey with Avista and Dr. Raman.

Will never be coming back to this office again after the mistreatment and disrespect that the staff members here give to their patients. Doctors are always very nice and on top of things but should rethink some of their employees that work at the front counter. Some of them need an attitude check.

Called the second they opened about on April 12th. Had a broken leg that happened in Mexico asked for a referral to the ER so i wouldn’t have to pay emergency rates. Had an X-ray already told them the hospital i was going to and that I’d be getting there at around noon. I called every hour on the hour to ask if a referral was sent. 5 hours later 6 calls never sent a referral. Was told several times that raman will look at it right now and send a referral and never got one. She doesn’t care about you and just wants you to get on a weight loss plan. Will never go back. Should have just gone to cigna medical.

I wish I could give 0 stars. I agree with others the staff, including the business owner (did not retain his name due to his nonstop talking, but he is tall, has red hair and blue eyes). I had 2 very cold experiences with Dr. Raman. I think she was uninterested because I am healthy, so no money to be made from me on weight loss or all of the other gimmicks they market all over their TV screens and images on the walls. This is not a general practitioner. I moved on but wanted copies of my 1 lab result and the close out of my billings. For 3 months, they never answered the phone or returned my calls. Finally, after another VM, Samantha called me back, she was new, did not know what to do and became aggressive very fast. She claimed that I needed to come and provide ID to obtain billing statements due to HIPAA requirements. HIPAA states specifically that a doctor cannot request this of a patient, records should be accessible by mail or by email. Listen, the list of issues goes on and on with them. I went in to obtain solutions but got nothing but a bunch of false claims, rebuttals and conspiracy theories. I stayed very patient, calm and did not raise my voice, eventhough they just pushed back, showed themselves to be uninformed and incapable, and as a result, they became defensive and condescending. They literally cannot print a bill or medical records unless you spend $75. Anything you need, you should be obtaining from your insurance... so basically, they do nothing for you. Additionally, the owner literally told me that my health records are not mine, but the doctors, so legally, I have no right to them!!!! Who are these people? None of this is worth it, itll just hurt your health. After reading the reviews, I would not be surprised if the positive reviews are fake. PS: I bet the owner will add a response to my review claiming I am not a patient or was a some sort of a bad patient, just like the other negative reviews. Luckily, I did not stick around long enough. So funny! 😭😭😭

Everyone was extremely kind and courteous. The nurse that helped me was amazing and after hearing that I dont do well with having blood taken went out of her way to ensure I was comfortable. Would give 10 stars if I could.

My experience with AVISTA Medical Center was that the office staff is rude, doesnt answer their phones, and was harassed over a cancelled appointment. Dr. Ramen pays little attention to asks, consistently trying to upsell more medication than needed/being asked of. Office has become focused solely on weight loss compared to being a doctors office. Received a letter from their General Manager I am no longer allowed to be a patient after complaining about their office staff, not that I would want to go back.Response to Owner - This GM never reached out to myself to discuss the alleged abusive behavior I supposedly displayed. It is now only after I stated I was unhappy with office staff to Doctor Ramen and that I would most likely not be returning do to their mistreatment, that this office is claiming any bad behavior by myself. Being a general manager, you should know that customers are not always happy, such as I was in this case, but I was shown far less respect from your employees. It is saddening that you will publicly claim I had abusive behavior without even speaking with myself, only hearing a complaint from your staff, which I told I wasnt happy with. I would imagine they would think they did nothing wrong. I want to reach out directly to you to discuss your defamatory comment, along with the letter you sent me, but you have yet to provide any way to communicate to you. As you would imagine, I do not wish to speak with the rude office staff at this time. This type of response should show the perfect example of how this Medical Office treats their customers, and how the general manager will support this mistreatment.In addition, the Doctor I complained about is the GMs wife. Talk about a conflict of interest, way to run a business!

Sonya is an all star! Alex not so much. Maybe he needs more training?Dr. Ramen is awesome!This would be a five star or higher if it was all about Dr. Ramen and Sonya. But Alex is a one star at best and brought the total score down.

I moved here from Chicago and needed to find a new primary doctor and after looking on line I chose Dr. Raman. Im so glad I did, she took the time to talk to me for almost 40 minutes and I feel very comfortable having her as my new doctor. Most doctors dont spend that amount of time but she did. The Nurse was great too! Thank you for making this a wonderful experience.

Best experience Ive had in years. I was in quickly and saw the Doctor within 5 minutes. Staff was great and very efficient. I had blood drawn and was very satisfied with my treatment. Dr. Raman was very attentive and the medicine she prescribed was effective in treating my problem. Glad to call her my primary care doctor.

During the Covid 19 pandemic I had an allergy flare up. I called in the morning to get an appointment and there was no availability so they told me I could come try to do a walk in but I would need to possibly wait for a long time. I decided to go into the office and was greeted by two friendly girls behind the desk that were so warm and welcoming and willing to help. They quickly got me in and into a room to see the doctor. I was in and out of there within 30 minutes and was so thankful and appreciative. Thank you for being so helpful during challenging times!!!

The staff at Avista are kind, helpful, patient and knowledgeable. The facility was very clean. Which made me feel very comfortable and safe. They cleaned right away when I was moved from one room to the lab room. I really apprecieated that. Dr. Raman listened to my concerns and answered all my questions. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for a family practice doctor.

I came here very worried about some lumps on my neck and on the back of my head, and I was able to get an appointment very quickly (which was my number 1 priority). It took only two visits (the first one where I got a diagnosis and treatment and the second one for follow-up) for them to help me! I am so happy I came here. I would definitely recommend.Thanks!!

Quality care offering traditional and naturopathic choices. Dr. Raman has a comfortable medical style as a practitioner that puts one at ease,and I felt she covered every issue I had very patiently and professionally so that when I was seen I felt she used integrated medicine. For senior adults that is key.. She also covered everything that involved my specialist doctors in a integrative medical consultative manner. I highly recommend her.

Review №40

I have had a terrible experience with Dr. Raman. She does not seem to care about me as her patient minus constantly making me feel guilty for my mental health and economic situation. I also asked about getting help providing information to my employer about me being a high risk (getting COVID). She refused even though on the CDC website explicitly states that I am high risk. I am very disappointed about my experience. I do not recommend her clinic. She was more worried about me scheduling excess appointments with her than my actual wellness.

Dr. Raman is a kind and caring doctor. Her office staff are friendly and work hard to make your appointment as easy as possible. I rarely have to wait more than a few minutes and Dr. Raman never makes me feel like she’s too busy or has to rush the appointment. I’m extremely happy with my experience at AVISTA MEDICAL!

Review №43

I always had to wait an unreasonable amount of time for prescription refills. I also ran out of my prescription last week, called for a refill, and then they didn’t respond until TODAY to tell me that they can’t refill prescriptions across state lines making me have to find a new doctor and get my records transferred to him/her until I could EVENTUALLY get a refill. I’m very dissatisfied with Avista Med’s poor communication. I would recommend a different medical center.

I have been with Dr Raman for years. she is the best doctor Ive had since I moved to Arizona. She takes care of my whole family. Love her!!!

An
Review №46

I have been Dr. Raman’s patient for over 10 years. I have extremely high expectations about service; about expertise; about meeting appointments promptly; that my PCP developed and maintained a comprehensive and extensive network of highly qualified medical specialists for referrals; and high expectations about being treated with respect but also with being treated as if I were a long-time family friend (like the old days of neighborhood family doctors).Dr. Raman and her entire office have been meeting these high expectations with every appointment and with every delivery of service for over 10 years, including the navigation of health insurance, including a healthy and welcome interest in my personal life and activities.If ever a newbie in her office did not meet these expectations, they were quickly replaced with someone who does.I would recommend Dr. Raman to everyone as their family physician.

I went in for a Coach IV Therapy after I obtained a Myofacscial Massage earlier in the day...the visit was very relaxing and in a friendly Professional environment. Everyone was kind-knowledgeable and respecting the current COVID crisis as well. I also decided to move forward and purchase a 4 IV treatment pack to enhance recovery from my Myofacscial treatments.

It was an excellent experience. The staff was very kind and helpful. They take care of you very quickly. They take you back quickly get the necessary information then let the doctor know that the patient is ready to be seen by doctor.Once the doctor comes in or nurse practitioner they listen to you. You never feel rushed by the doctor or staff.Everyone is very caring.

10 weeks down 25#! People are starting to notice! Very knowledgeable staff, and everyone supports your success. One-on-one private medical consultations make you feel like the Doctor is truly invested in your success.

Excellent staff, on time service, and so far Dr. Raman has helped me a lot. Ive been going to Avista for 3 weeks and Ill say this is a very well run practice. Kudos to Tabby and Dr. Raman.This is a follow up to my previous post. I sustained an injury on Saturday. I called the office Monday morning. Within 1 hour I had a telemedicine appointment with Dr. Raman. She immediately took care of everything.5 more stars to the excellent staff and service provided by all at Avista. Highly recommended.

I have been a patient of Dr. Ramen for years, recently met with the nurse practitioner, and adore them both! Their staff make me feel right at home and are always friendly! I just brought my teenage daughter over there as well because I felt she was getting too old for the pediatricians office. I highly recommend AVISTA Med Center not only as a primary doctor but also for their specialty areas!

Review №56

Ive tried working with them for months. I was told to schedule a follow-up appointment with the Dr., so I did, and instead of getting a Dr. appointment, they scheduled me with the nurse. I had some extenuating circumstances, and instead of understanding and trying to work with me, they fined me. So if you need someone to work with you, I would suggest going elsewhere.

As a previous employee for Dr Raman, she is very professional at her work and diagnosis. I truly recommend her practice as she does an exquisite job in her practice.

Dr Raman is an amazing doctor and has a very professional but friendly office staff that cares about you. Linda asks every month about our kids, grandbabies and my sisters (who’s been battling cancer). And Instead of getting ya in and out (like many offices now a days to see as many patients as they can in a day for the money) she takes time to not only get to know you as a person but makes sure to answers all your questions and concerns.

Review №64

Dr Raman is a rare throw-back to doctors that care and spend time helping with healing. Today was the ultimate when she offered to teach me how to give myself shots rather than spend $30/week visiting her office. Believe me, I’m astonished at how few people there are anymore who will put your needs ahead of their own, especially in business. Thank you to Dr Raman and her great staff.

My mother has been a patient here for at least the last 14 years. I am also a patient. I cant begin to express my gratitude for not only Dr. Raman but also the ENTIRE staff! These people all go above and beyond to assist with every single need we have had. For many, many years my mom was very healthy and only went in for regular visits, colds etc. In the last 18 months she has become very ill. She has been diagnosed with both Pulmonary Hypertension and Pancreatic Cancer. They have been there for us throughout this entire process; coordinating specialists, medications, referrals, you name it!! I honestly dont know where we would be without every single person there!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

I went in after heart surgery and all she did was ask questions. Never even checked the wounds. Fortunately, my daughter noticed and said my leg looked bad and sure enough it was infected.

Treated with disrespect and no care for my needs as a patient. Did not listen, did not suggest any tests to confirm my symptoms.

I loved Dr. Punya Raman. However, I had a change in my insurance and booked my visit with her delightful new associate, Dr. Tanya Balov. What a breath of fresh air. She really seemed to care about my medical history. Dr. Balov is an excellent listener. I would recommend this medical practice for ages 12 through Senior Care.
