Dr. Narender Thatikonda, MD

Thank you so much, Mr. Narender Thatikonda. I truly appreciate your knowledge and the way you were caring me in my visit. Now I am feeling better.

Dr. Thatikonda listens very well and includes me in decisions

Dr. T always asks me what I want to do after he gives me treatment options. He has never said This is what we're going to do he always says Here's our options, here's the pros and cons of each, what do you want to do.

Everything okay

Dr. Thatikondra is fantastic. Great listener and teacher.

Very thorough doctor and always listens and explains!

Dr T. Always takes time to explain things and make sure I'm comfortable

Great doctor.

Dr. Thatikonda's office staff was friendly. There was an initial difficulty with scheduling an appointment, but that was handled satisfactorily. I found Dr. Thatikonda to be pleasant, professional and knowledgeable, and I applaud that he is a teaching doctor. I'm not sure what some other reviewers meant when they referred to Dr. Thatikonda as a "family doctor". He is an internist. His basic function is to assess potential health issues and coordinate a patient's care with specialists they may need to see. An internist has the difficult job of coordinating a patient's health issues, to insure that nothing is missed. My only issue with Dr. Thatikonda is that sometimes he needs to stand up to specialists when there is a question of treatment or diagnosis....he's too nice for that though.

Without a doubt, the worst family practitioner I’ve had the displeasure to see. Flippant, uncaring and rude. Referred to me as a “ticking time bomb”, asked me if I googled (dismissing my concerns) and told me to put bengay on my unbendable tendinitis fingers while I wait 4 months for a rheumatologist— and that was all in one appointment. He will refer EVERYTHING out to a specialist— small issues every other PCP I’ve ever seen would treat. Need your script refilled? They don’t let your pharmacy do the automatic refills— you have to call yourself. The fact that he’s a teaching physician makes me upset because he’s the sort of doctor that we need LESS of. I don’t like the nurses at all either but the front staff is lovely, though. Sarah, the PA at the office, seems really thorough and great. After 2+ years, I’m finally pushing myself to get a new doctor. Do yourself a favor and keep searching for a doctor— this is not the one you’re looking for.

The staff is awesome, not a long wait for an appointment. He is ok if you don’t have any opinions on your health, any chronic conditions and are not overweight. Despite he himself being overweight, he is very rude with regards to your weight. He seems to get an ego trip if you have your own opinions on your health or symptoms. Follow through on serious conditions does not happen unless you are proactive. Test results may not even get looked at by him based on the few flagged results he never addressed with me, I would never have known I have some dangerous things to address if I had not logged in to see my own results. His staff is very kind though.
