Dr. Chandra Chintapalli, MD

I had a horrible experience at the ER with this Dr. Chandra Chintapalli at my local hospital.He fully dismissed me when I was talking with him.He basically said I could not be given the care needed and I needed to seek help from my primary doctor and have any procedures done outpatient.I felt discriminated by him because of how uncaring and unprofessional he was with me. He walked out the room while I was talking to him. A nurse heard saw my situation and waited for him to leave then came and told me to wait in the waiting area while his shift ended and re register so I could be seen by another doctor so I could be taken care of. She apologized for his treatment. I did what she said and waited for the next doctor who was totally different and caring. He made sure I was taken care of. I had never been treated this way in a medical setting and I will never go back to Doctors hospital.

I walked into Doctors Hospital on March 17 with a stomach ache and a severe tingling sensation throughout my body. I walked into the ER room and within 5 minutes of me being there Dr. Chintapalli walked in and discharged me without even doing any medical procedure. I went to Laredo Medical Center and it turned out that I had a tick bite causing me to have Rocky Mountain spotted fever and worst of all I had a symptom known as Guillen Barre. Dr. Chintapalli did not follow his code of ethics "Preamble The medical profession has long subscribed to a body of ethical statements developed primarily for the benefit of the patient. As a member of this profession, a physician must recognize responsibility to patients first and foremost, as well as to society, to other health professionals, and to self. The following Principles adopted by the American Medical Association are not laws, but standards of conduct that define the essentials of honorable behavior for the physician." I now suffer.
