Dr. Raj Vuppalanchi, MD

Failed to even read symptom letter from patient as evidenced by, treating concerns glibly and reduced symptoms to a laughing statement about a "BM" in front of other support staff, failed to ascertain the nature of patient's overriding complaints, e.g., severe abdominal pain due to adhesions with secondary symptoms of extreme shortness of breath, high blood pressure, hair dripping from the pain and back to back near syncopes, (pt hx of heart attack). Furthermore, when the physician recommended a modality of treatment this patient responded with a look of terror because the patient has experienced severe pain in the past from this treatment and the physician got angry and said, "Then what? what do you want to do? If you don't comply then the physician will lose interest." It was my understanding that we are to be partners in trying to find answers that will serve the patient. Instead there was most definitely a power differential being wielded toward the patient. Physician bias evident
