It was a very good experience. Dr. Ravi has been my doctor for 30 years, I trust him with my care. The ladies at reception desk, treated me with utmost respect. Did not address me by my first name..very rare in today's society. Young people in society have no respect for older people. I LOVE Dr. Ravi very much.

I’ve gone to Dr. Ravi Ganeshappa for years. He is the best of the best of doctors. He is kind, professional, extremely knowledgeable and I trust him literally with my life. He has never rushed me through, and always makes sure all of my questions are answered. He has uncovered several things in my health, and helped me to get to a much healthier place. I’m so thankful for Dr Ravi!
Very friendly and professional from the screening clinic on the second floor to the procedures clinic on the bottom floor. A very efficient same day operation. I also enjoyed the Netflix movie while waiting my turn to put the medical gown on. We were taking about Whataburger and next thing I know it was time to get lunch. Dr. G and staff are second to none.
The staff was very nice and prompt, very clean and inviting atmosphere. Dr. Ganeshepa is always so professional, courteous, yet speaks to you with patience. He listens to your questions and reassures about procedure to be done. I would highly recommend him and his office.

I love Dr. Ravi. He is awesome and down to earth. He is an amazing listener and definitely a jokester. These are qualities I need from my care providers, only speaking for myself. You feel like you are with one of your besties with Dr. Ravi.
The visit was the best experience (medical and government) I’ve had since I moved to San Antonio two years ago. The staff at the check in desk, particularly the nurse who prepared me and the ones that assisted during the procedure were absolutely wonderful and very professional.
Dr. G. Is a pro with great insight and education. And, a great character and concern for me as a patient to bring me to better health and a hopeful state.
