In patients' words
"He is warm and friendly. Not in a rush. Explains in layman's terms what the physical issue is and how to treat it. Doesn't rush to surgery. Excellent except for timeliness. He's worth waiting for."
— Healthgrades patient review of Dr. Ryan Labovitch"The core issue here is the lack of clear, upfront communication regarding potential patient responsibility beyond the copay and the lack of clarity provided when questions were raised about the billing breakdown."
— Trustindex review of OC Sports & Rehab"I went to this doctor for a follow up and found him to be not helpful, dismissive and disrespectful. Long wait times for appointments, waited over 1 hr the appointment was rushed. I will not return."
— Healthgrades patient review of Dr. Prem Ramkumar"I love the doctors. I do think the organization needs some slight improvements on communications via phone to patients."
