Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Thats A No For Me
My mother went to Dr. Gollakota for an MRI, when he called with the results he misread them and told her she needed brain surgery to solve a very scary issue. She was incredibly upset and distressed at the news, naturally. When he told her the results he also stated he didn't have time for questions at the moment as he had a personal appointment to get to. So my mother called another doctor in the practice who she normally sees (Gollakota was who had been first available for the MRI vs her normal GP) and he informed her that he read the results incorrectly and she does not need surgery and in fact, her condition is pretty benign. While that is excellent news...there were hours when our family was preparing for a very different future. I don't trust this man any further than I can throw an MRI result.

My doctor retired and I went to Dr. Gollakota and one other doctor to see who I wanted to move my care to. Dr. Gollakota was a breath of fresh air from the other doctor a tried, who I had a horrible experience with. He's very attentive, thorough and caring. I look forward to continuing my care with Dr. Gollakota and highly recommend him to anyone looking for an Internist!

Terrible experience. I went to see him because I was having back pain and all he did was blame my weight and depression. Totally ignored the fact that I had lost 40 lbs on my own before I started having back pain which made me unable to work out. Finally had to ask another specialist for a proper referral - he kept delaying my referrals and telling me he didn’t know what was wrong. Said he didn’t think it was rheumatology related - well guess what it is and I am finally getting the right care after switching PCPs and finding my own specialists.

I just took my elderly father with a large list of concerns to see Dr Gollakota. I was very impressed with the Drs professionalism and thoroughness.
