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.

Phenomenal
An amazing and caring doctor. Did lots of background research on my medical history prior to the appt and came ready to help. My anxiety immediately eased after speaking with him. I can’t say enough great things!

After doing the 2-day fast and purge, I was wheeled into the OR and prepped for the colonoscopy. A man without a mask or ID walked in and said, "I have two questions for you." He then introduced himself (didn't ask how I was feeling) and pointed out I was here after 2 years rather than 3, waving a paper in front of my face. I'd asked to be placed on my right side because of a recent cataract surgery on my left eye. Rather than explaining the rationale, he said basically, "You have two choices: Do it on the left side or get dressed and come back in a year." His rudeness and total lack of bedside manner were the worst of any physician in my 50 years of adult life. The procedure might have been fine but I will be going to somebody else next time. This was my third procedure with the doctor, so I would have expected better treatment.

I met Dr. Nimmagada for my first consultation due to some heartburn issues. My internist referred me. It takes time to schedule your first appointment, but he is completely worth the wait. Dr Nimmagadda is highly communicative, extremely personable and takes his time to carefully explain your medical health issues. He offers you many options for improving your health status with realistic measures. He definitely wants to make sure you are well informed and wants you to be in good hands.

Dr. Nimmagadda is an excellent physician. He is very patient, listend to me very attentively and took his time to explain my symptoms and course of treatment. He is very thorough and analytical in his approach to diagnosing my condition. He makes sure that he is able to diagnose my condition before prescribing any ttreatment.

I have seen several gastro doctors (he is my third). He was incredibly thoughtful and gave me so much information and so many explanations for why we were going to try a few things. Also, the nurse who took my vitals was incredibly kind. It takes forever to get an appt with him, so call now!

Although this provider is quite knowledgeable, his empathy level is lacking. He delegates everything to his staff and is a bit pedantic and inaccessible.

Without a doubt, the most inefficient and incompetent medical office I have ever experienced! I have left numerous messages and was finally told that the staff does not respond to voice mail messages. One might wonder why they have voice mail? I'm glad that I found another doctor.
