Dr. Akther Kotha, MD

She’s to the point and doesn’t want to give unnecessary RX

Dr. A. Kotha has been my mother's rheumatologist for over 20 years. In that time, she has been great in her care. She has been very friendly and more concerned about my mother than her PCP's, often ordering labs when her PCP did not. God bless her.

I like Dr. Katha so much I saw her a couple years ago, I was referred to her again but I never see her 3x's I have been and it's someone else, they diagnosed me with Osteoarthritis everywhere then just forgot about me and left me to my horrible Pain Management Doctor who is letting me Suffer, its terrible begging for help when your in so much pain you just can't take it anymore, just very sad

Horrible bully condesending and the staff is no better no one seems to care.

Office was completely disorganized. Asked to arrive 20 minutes early to fill out paperwork (totally normal) but then wasn’t seen and hour and a half after my scheduled appointment. Dr.Kotha spent maybe 5 minutes total diagnosing and prescribing medication but refused to answer any questions I had and continued to walk out of the room mid discussion. If you ever need a doctors note don’t bother asking and she will give you an illegible note written on a prescription pad. Will never go back.

Worst Dr ever back and forth for 2 months, never received paperwork, I had to hand deliver my paperwork, she never examined me never ran any test, said there's nothing she can do for me. She reported to a government officials that there is no reason why I can't work but I can barely walk or wipe myself after going to restroom. I waited so long for appt. Finally being seen I was so unhappy, after my appt I collapsed in the hallway having a anxiety attack from the disbelief, no one came 2 help

Do not go to this doctor. If I could give her a zero I would. She is the meanest doctor I have ever meet, she made very rude comments on my race/culture. She did not listing to anything I had to say. I asked my PCP to refer me to another rheumatologist and he refer me to her daughter. She is nicer than her.

I tried for 6weeks to get an appt. The office staff kept telling me they didn't receive the faxed lab and doctor's reports, I would call my primary care, they would fax the documentation (5 TIMES!!), I called them back, was told it takes 5 to 7 days for them to receive the faxes, b/c "of how our fax machine works". What??!?!? The staff is very dismissive, and unhelpful. I finally called my primary care for a referral to someone else. The runaround is ridiculous. See someone else who cares!

I was referred by my Primary Care Physician. After a 2 week run around, they refused to even make an appointment to see me. "The Dr. is not sure what she can do for you" I was told by staff. Maybe start by seeing me as requested by another Dr.?

I couldn't recommend Dr. Kotha more highly. I've been seeing her for 2-3 years and she has been great. She's very knowledgeable and very compassionate and makes the extra effort to make sure her patients get the right care. She's one of the best doctors I've ever seen. And I've seen a lot of them.

This Dr should NOT be practicing medicine, ever! I have never experienced what I experienced with Dr. Kotha. My appointment with her was surreal. She was condesendig, she bulied me, wouldn't listen to me, talked bad about the most recent Dr's I've been seeing. She wouldn't prescribe me any of the medicine that I've been talking for Lupus for six years. I was in tears the entire appointment! It was horrible! I will never go back.

She prescribed a specialty medication for Rheumatoid Arthritis on June 1. This specialty medication has to have a prior authorization for my insurance company. As of today, June 16, I still do not have my medication.I have called my insurance company 5 times and her office the same and keep getting the run around. Very poor service! I am now requesting a new doctor.

Sr. Kotha takes time to talk to you. She listens to all you concerns and she explains your options. She doesn't run unneccesary tests however she does tests to determine the course of treatment

She isn't very nice or supportive toward me. Poor bedside manners when she's been bullied by another patient. Treats me like a overly caring aunt that makes things worse emotionally.
