The Dr overprescribed thyriod which likely sent me into A-Fib, resulting in expensive meds to treat the A-Fib. The nurse missed my A-Fib when I was in the office, immediately after they increased my thyroid dose. Bass Ackwards. He also pushes a Pharmacy on the east coast that is a relative of his. Will never go back.

Sadly he treats to the test score and not based on how the individual feels. Although, during consultation he will say he treats to the individual but he clearly does not.

I have been very pleased with Dr. Kadambi. He is is great doctor. He has been treating me for a thyroid condition for a few years that I knew that I had for years, but no one ever treated me for it. They would run tests and it wouldn't show up, he informed me that he treats by the symptoms, not the tests, and my symptoms went away and I improved.

Dr. Kadambi is a knowledgeable and amiable endocrinologist. His greatest fault is that he takes things too slowly. He has a tendency to start treatment at an incredibly low dosage. Since you would only see him once every 3-4 months, it can literally take a year or more to achieve the results other doctors can achieve in weeks. His office has extremely poor customer service when it comes to the telephone. It is impossible to reach someone right away and you always have to leave messages.

With Dr. Kadambi and Fort Wayne Endocrinology, I finally have my quality of life back following too many years of sub-par treatment for my Adult HGH Deficiency, Estrogen Dominance and Autoimmune Thyroid Disease issues. If you're looking for an Endocrinologist who will find the root cause of your hormone imbalances and actually treat you & your symptoms instead of the numbers, I'd recommend that you seek treatment with Dr. Kadambi & Fort Wayne Endocrinology. They're truly the difference between e

I really like Dr. Kadambi. They treat you as an individual & not as a number on a test. I spent 2 years with another Dr & had no results. Been with Dr. K for 5 months & feel better than I have in years. Tests he orders are reasonable to figure out the correct dosage in the beginning. My energy is up, joint pain is less, even loosing lbs slowly is better than nothing. Leaving messages is a small price to pay to get my health back & calls are returned in a reasonable amount of time.

Dr. Kadambi is a good and amiable doctor, but the phone customer service at his office is deplorable. You have to leave an answering machine message for just about everything and return callback speed varies from slow to not at all. If you call the prescription line, you do not get a call back. If you call the growth hormone line, you do not get a call back. If you call the phone nurse, you often do not get a call back, and you have to call a second time.

Too many expensive tests ordered. Doctor seems to care more about money than listening to the patient. I've been going here for a year and have had enough. Bedside manner is important, and Dr. Kadambi is lacking!

I think that Dr. Kadambi himself is very knowledgeable, however his office staff is very unethical and until you run into a problem with a "missed appt", you may not even realize how unethical and horrible they are. his staff wrote me an appt. card for an appointment on 9/7. When I called on 9/6 to reschedule that appointment, the office staff told me that my appointment was on 9/1 and that I had missed it. they charged me a $50.00 missed appt. fee. basically told me I was a liar & argued w/ me.

Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Kadambi?
Best endocrinologist I have ever encountered! He tests for everything because lots of hormones are controlled by one main gland. Very thorough and frequent blood tests are a sign of a great doctor. I am so glad I finally found a doctor who is not afraid to be an endocrinologist. Most endocrine doctors only care about diabetes which I do not have....see my struggle. My only complaint is I wish they had at least one day that has really early/late appointments.

Unethical practices, stay away! The staff told me they took my insurance at the time of my appointment then sent me a bill for over $1,400 and claimed they told me that they were not in network. I would never have gone to the appointment had I known they were out of network. They're just out to make money any way they can. Little to know attention to patient care.
