Rudest doctor I have ever met! I was in tears when I left. Dismissed issues and said it could not be fixed in one day. Scheduled test for following week with a follow-up a month later. The next day patient was worse and started having seizures and admitted to Huntsville Hospital. Definitely do not recommend her. We will not be going back for her tests!

The 3 words to describe her; rude, manipulative, and condescending. Left during the appointment. Her gathering of information, is how she wants to shape your illness. Never again.

The first time I seen her I noticed she was rushing me . She is a smart elec .very rude and judgemental. She wrote a sscript for a med that was way to high a dose and it caused me some health problems. All she wants is money ! I had an mri done and I had an appointment scheduled just so she could tell me it was fine .. grype at me because I couldnt take her meds that almost killed me and then sent me on my way while being a complete smart elec . She doesn't give a flip about her patients .

No!! Dr Bondugula. NO!!! I advise our friends and family to NOT go to this woman!! Family doc referred us to her partner - but somehow we got switched to her.
Terrible. She walked in exam room and immediately scolded us for missing a follow up visit 3 years ago (different problem). Then she immediately stated she couldnt help. There was nothing she knew to do. No exam. No questions. No review of chart. Nothing! We sat stunned then asked what could she recommend. She said I can't recommend a

Terrible. She walked in room and immediately scolded me for missing fillip visit 3 years ago (different problem). Then she stated she didn't know any way to help. No exam. No questions. Nothing. Then as we walked out - she stated her time was wasted by reading chart. What the he!!? We have found a real neurologist in Bham and are on way to positive results. I wouldn't take my dog to her. Rude person. Office looked dirty. Form to complete were copies of copies. Very unprofessional.

I had a few questions about my condition and she didn't want to take time to answer them nor did she want to explain possible side effects of the medicine she was prescribing me. I felt she was rushing me in and out. I will personally be finding a new doctor.

Dr Bondugula said she would only take me on as a patient if I wasn't having any seizures and didn't need any adjust to my medications. What's the point?

She was obviously in a hurry when we saw her. We did not think she took the appropriate amount of time to listen and properly evaluate the condition.
