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.

Not a very kind or considerate doctor. Would NOT recommend.

My daughter’s appointment was at 7:15 it is now 11:15 and she is still waiting to see him. There is no one in the office rec desk to ask any questions. All the help has left. Would not recommend him. Does not care about his patients.

Always have long wait times late into the evening in a office that continually repeats recorded health messages. Try listening to them for four or more hours! On the other hand he is patient and listens well. Once you do get to see him, he has time for you

I trust Dr Sudahka’s opinion and always recommend him to my friends. Yes, he is on call for emergencies. Yes, you will have to wait. His staff is very kind and will tell you when he is expected so you can come back later. I am very grateful for his treatment and care. He doesn’t rush at all. I am thankful that if I’m the emergency at the hospital, he’ll be there then also.

has done wonders for me. I suffered insomnia for 30 years other doctors had prescribed me several different drugs that were either ineffective or had side effects. Dr Sudhakar is a very knowlegeable and good doctor . Well worth the wait. Thanks Dr Sudhakar.

While the wait was a little long, I’ve had much worse. This was my initial visit with Dr Sudhakar, and I was fully satisfied. He asked a lot of pertinent questions, and recommended follow- on tests, which I will be undertaking. All-in-all, an excellent experience.

Amarillo , TX – Dec 15, 2018

This doctor has total disregard for patients and their families' time. We have waited in his office for hours to see him. One office appointment was at 2:30. We arrived early and was told to "go shopping or eat" because he would not be in until 4:30. We live an hour away from Amarillo and take off work for appointments. Last straw was told to be at BSA at 5:30 and at 6:30 told he had not arrived and it would be a minimum of 3 hours due to patient ahead of us and length of time the test took

He doesn’t see his patients at normal hours, or have scheduled appointments. Instead everyone is told to come at 6:30pm and it’s 1st come, 1st serve. Half the time he doesn’t even show up until 7:30pm or later to start seeing patients. His drs office is absolutely disgusting! To the point where I’d be terrified to have any injections done by him. He doesn’t wash his hands in between patients, and doesn’t wear gloves! It’s completely unsanitary! Be prepared to wait at least 2-4 hours.

I don't recommend this Dr at all, his office hours are terrible, expect to wait at least 6 hours for your appointment every time, his office staff are terrible, they do not handle the office in a professional manner at all, his NP Rita is rude, unprofessional and has no knowledge of what is going on in the clinic the Dr never writes anything down, so he has no idea what he tells you,he gives samples out of medication in case you run out of a totally different medication that you have never taken

Be prepared to spend hours in his waiting room. He works late evening & night. The patients are scheduled to be there before his office staff leaves for the day. They may have you be there at 3:30 but it might be 10 - 11 PM before you see the Doctor, I assure you this is not an exaggeration!!! Needless to say the waiting room is packed solid. The only thing keeping his practice alive is a lack of neurologist in Amarillo. This is my 1st Negative Doctors review. It is HONEST.

He's pretty good clinically. He has a less than helpful office that doesn't work hard on communication with patients or, I suspect the doctor.

Absolutely a threat to society. Seek 2nd opinions. Makes midnight rounds at hospitals to avoid other doctors discourages second opinions.
