    I joined the RISE program in February 2025, shortly after its grand opening. For nearly three years…read moreprior, I worked out six to seven days a week and maintained a reasonable diet, yet I still could not achieve the results I was striving for. Despite my effort, I found myself stuck, working hard but not moving forward in a meaningful way. Everything changed when I became part of RISE. Within just three to four months, I made what truly felt like three years of progress. For the first time, my body began working with me instead of against me. With their help, I lost 10% body fat, significantly improved my cardio health, and finally reached fitness goals that I had never been able to achieve on my own no matter how many hours I put in at the gym. The difference was in RISE's comprehensive approach. They evaluated not only my fitness but also my hormones, overall health, and even my family medical history, putting together a plan that addressed the whole picture. This is not just another fitness membership. It is a program designed to help you understand your body and optimize your health so that your body supports your goals instead of standing in the way.

They truly care about my health journey and gave me recommendations based on the blood panel I completed with them. I would absolutely recommend checking them out if you care about optimizing your daily health and wellness.

    I initially came here simply to express my grievances about the care I received. I came in hopeful…read moreafter reading so many positive reviews, and I genuinely wanted this to be my long-term primary care home. The front office staff is wonderful, but unfortunately my experience with Dr. Raman was the opposite of what I expected from a primary care provider. I originally came in for one issue but also had a few additional concerns I hoped to discuss. After feeling rushed during my first visit, I scheduled my annual exam specifically so I could address everything thoroughly. During that appointment, Dr. Raman performed a pap smear and immediately moved to end the visit without asking any questions about my overall health. When I tried to bring up the concerns I had mentioned previously, she seemed disinterested and dismissed them without meaningful discussion. One example: I asked for a referral to an ENT for Eustachian Tube Dysfunction, which had already been identified by an urgent care provider. Dr. Raman told me, "There's nothing they can do for that," which is simply not accurate. My symptoms have since worsened, and I will now be seeking an ENT evaluation on my own. If it turns out that treatment was available or that something more serious was missed, I will be considering a formal complaint with the Arizona Medical Board. Experiences like this are exactly why so many patients feel unheard and dismissed by their doctors. At this point, I thought my review would end here -- a disappointing experience, but nothing more. But then I started reading the clinic's responses to other patients. And that's when I realized there is a much bigger, far more serious issue happening here. What I found in the owner and General Manager, Chad Gammage's, public replies is deeply alarming. His responses are not just unprofessional -- they contain clear, repeated, textbook HIPAA violations. These are not gray areas. These are not misunderstandings. These are direct disclosures of protected health information in a public forum. And frankly, I am disgusted by the way he chooses to operate this business. Here are just a few examples that anyone can verify by reading his replies: Example 1: He openly confirms a patient relationship ("I acknowledge you were a patient of Dr. Raman") and discloses private encounter details, including the exact length of a conversation ("we talked in circles for about 30 minutes"). Example 2: He publicly addresses a reviewer by name ("Dear Ms. Goding"), reveals clinical care details ("you were sent to the lab to have your blood drawn"), and discusses her insurance setup, pharmacy mix-ups, and authorization requirements. Example 3, which is the most severe: He publishes a timeline-based medical history, including exact appointment dates (03/21/2023), how long the patient has taken a medication ("20+ years"), exact dates the office messaged the patient (03/04/2024, 04/04/2024, 04/11/2024, 05/24/2024), a phone call and prescription refill date (05/23/2024), missed appointments and labs (06/13/2024), and even clinical status details ("being out of medication since July"). This is not "defending the business." This is illegal disclosure of protected health information. And unfortunately, Mr. Gammage, because you work in the medical field, you do not get to write replies like this. It's the equivalent of me -- as a licensed loan officer -- publicly posting a client's credit score because they're upset they didn't qualify. It's highly illegal. The federal government explicitly states that a patient leaving a review does not give a clinic permission to expose their medical file. Revealing private clinical details to retaliate against negative feedback raises serious questions about HIPAA compliance, ethics, and overall leadership. It reflects poorly on the entire operation. The way he chooses to run this business -- attacking patients, exposing their information, and weaponizing their medical history online -- is disgraceful. For anyone reading this, know your rights: HIPAA Privacy Violations: If this business responds to your review by confirming you were a patient, arguing about your care, or revealing appointment or prescription details, take a screenshot immediately. You can file a complaint with the federal Office for Civil Rights (OCR) through the HHS Complaint Portal. Consumer Review Fairness Act (CRFA): If a business threatens to sue or penalize patients for negative reviews, that violates federal law. Report it to the FTC. Arizona Attorney General: You can submit a consumer grievance through the Arizona Attorney General for unfair or deceptive business practices if the clinic uses bullying or intimidation tactics to suppress honest feedback Safe to say I will not be coming back here, lol. And Chad dont even bother replying, nothing you say will hold any weight to me, because you are not a good business owner.

    My family have been patients at AvistaMed for their Primary Care Services possibly 2+ years now…read more There has been consistent billing companies and billing teams that have no clue how to bill. In fact, the offshore billing team has been a nightmare. Double and triple billing. This was related to copays paid in the office during office visit check-in. On 'many' occasions Ive had to call and ask Dr. Punya Raman's team for assistance with their billing company. Here team during those times agreed that my family and I do not owe money despite their attempt to collect and collection threats. I have also sent receipts and snip-its of bank statements. However, we stayed loyal to Dr. Raman. There has been a consistent rotation of staff. The gentleman that used to run the office was amazing. Unfortunately he's been long gone. You learn the rotating staffs way of doing things. Last week this became an issue. Immediately out of the hospital I called for an appointment with Dr. Raman for follow-up care, as advised. I also wanted to advise that their latest billing company is charging for a service that they stopped billing for and wanted you to understand when the fees started up again. Gabby answered the phone 7:31a before I could speak, she asked me to hold, I waited 9 minutes, the call picked up and I was immediately hung-up on. I called back, I was happy that Bree answered. Bree had unprofessional tone when I said I was waiting and was hung-up on. She said I was never hung-up on. I asked why she had tone when Im trying to advise of my experience this morning. We moved on and she scheduled me for a visit with the doctor. We then discussed the billing department. She refused to accept the process that was happening with the billing department and their prior process. Bree stated she's been working there a month and know the process. Gabby was in the background talking then took over the phone call, again unprofessional tone. Gabby said shes been there 6 months and said the billing process has never changed. I asked if she can have Dr. Raman contact me about their unprofessionalism. Gabby then says "Dr. Raman will not be calling you back!" She said I could only speak to Chad Gammage the office manager. I asked for his number she gave me his email address. I searched online for contact information on how to call Chad and/or Dr Raman. I emailed them both. Although, I did not receive a call from anyone (smh) my thought was I would advise Dr. Raman of what took place during my doctors appointment this week (after discussing my emergent medical event). Today, I receive a "Patient Termination Notice" written on 9/20 (the day of my call to their office) and signed by Chad Gammage (potential relative or spouse of Dr. Raman, from what I am hearing now). He never called but sent the letter (smh). It also stated "Avistamed will release your medical records upon receipt of your new doctor's signed medical release authorization form". Being in insurance for 34 years I know my rights to receive copies of my own medical records. All of this to say... my horrible experience was unfortunately caused in part due to the team's degradation of service, unprofessional staff and lack of understanding relative to continuation of care. I know this organization can do better, Ive seen them operate professionally in the past with prior tenured staff.
