Dr. Ramakrishnan Ripoff!
Posted: Wed Mar 20, 2013 5:37 am
I get emails when Dr. Ramakrishnan visits NYC looking for appts. I just received one that he's coming in April, so suggested to someone that it may be a good idea to see him to get an initial remedy suggestion, maybe constitutional.
When I last saw him a couple of years ago, new patients paid $350 for a first 1/2 hour visit.
Now, he's charging $700 for a 1st visit.
I find that truly greedy and exorbitant since the visit is 1/2 hour and his style is more consultation, or maybe like his clinics in India, where you get a quick case review, a constitutional remedy and maybe some other supportive remedies. He does not do heavy duty case taking, repping and followups by email are minimal at best, like a few words, a sentence.
Plus, he prescribes 4th Organon, dry C potency, ensuring you will not have quick case resolution to long term chronic disease and keeping you as his patient along with, at least me, a severe aggravation if that last dry dose puts you over the edge. Then you're left high and dry to deal with it solo.
While I do place a value on seeing someone with, hopefully, vast clinical experience and that they could easily prescribe remedies on a few keynotes, symptoms, background, etc., I found subsequent prescriptions were almost protocol like and not taking into account previous remedy action, aggravations, etc. Some remedies he prescribed me had no basis in my case, just, try this, try that. And I have no idea if he even thinks miasmatically and uses nosodes intercurrently, which have helped me so much.
Well, they say prices rise to what the market can bear and his 5 days of seeing patients in the USA is now even more lucrative.
Sad to see where USA homeopathic treatment has been heading towards and how those sick, not knowing anything about homeopathy, have to pay a premium for any possible help believing they are seeing a guru homeopath.
