Ramana Kankanala, MD, Springfield MO

Dr. Kankanala is the worst physician I've ever encountered. I don't even believe he has a medical degree given the horrible care he provided. He does process a lot of patients. He's all about volume - quantity over quality. If you've ever heard that insurers reward physicians who make fewer referrals you'd certainly believe it if he were ever your doctor. Fortunately he's leaving the area. That will be about the 3rd or 4th city he's "practiced" medicine in. He bills himself as an addictions specialist and I know someone who I would regard as an addict who gets benzos from him. This guy is really ignorant, but what he lacks in actual knowledge he makes up for in actual arrogance.

Dr. K is the best doctor I have ever had. He treats you like an actual person. He listens to your concerns and doesn't just brush you off. He makes u feel comfortable and like he cares. Everytime I see him he asks about my life/family/job. He always goes the extra mile and works with my schedule and needs. He's very kind and knowledgeable. This past weekend I called the pharmacy to get my refil and they had lost the script, I was freaking out bc I needed my refil, they didn't have it and it was a weekend. I was able to get a hold of an on call nurse, who paged him and within an hour he had called me, and called me in a new script to the pharmacy. And when I profusely apologized he for bothering him on his personal time, he just laughed and said "no that's my job I'm happy to help" if I ever have any issues there is always someone to get a hold of that day at his offices. I never have to wait around. And I never have to worry about being taken seriously I highly recommend him at his Branson or Springfield location
