Dr. Padma Rao Chimata, MD

Dr. CHIMATA is a very caring compe tent doctor who treats me with much compassion. She has been taking great care of je for years & I am very thankful that God put me into her hands. Her staff is very helpful & personal making me feel they are very aware of my health issues & scheduling me immediately to see Dr . Chimata.

She is thorough, she listened to me, answered all of my questions & the treatment required. She set me at ease immediately. I am deeply respectful of her & her caring.

Dr. Chimata is not just a skilled physician, but. A wonderful advocate and friend. I’m owe her so much respect and appreciation for the care she provides me. Bless her.

Dr. Chimata is an excellent physician who genuinely cares about her patients. She is an exceptional diagnostician, extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and attentive. In 2023, after I had been in remission from lymphoma for seven years, Dr. Chimata noticed that my bloodwork was unusually low. She was concerned that my lymphoma might have returned and urged further evaluation. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a recurrence of lymphoma—it turned out to be another, much more serious cancer, for which I have been receiving chemotherapy since 2023. I will always be grateful that Dr. Chimata recognized that something wasn’t right and took my abnormal bloodwork seriously. Some patients may be frustrated by the wait to see her, but honestly, I would wait as long as necessary because I would not change doctors. The quality of care and the confidence I have in her are worth the wait. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Chimata and her practice to anyone who is looking for a physician who truly listens,… cares, and takes the time to thoroughly evaluate her patients. If you have to wait, bring a book, bring your headphones, and entertain yourself while you wait. She is worth it!

Dr Chimata is very professional, experienced, centered & meticulous on finding the root-cause of my health problem and pursuing a sound solution. Besides, she's friendly and in my case I 've found Dr Chimata interacts & exchanges the necessary information with other specialists who're taking care of my health. This is to make sure she provides a coordinated, integral & definitive treatment to her patient. She's usually very busy . From my perspective, Dr Chimata is outstanding & highly recommended professional.

Very nice and knowledgeable! She was right on point with everything. I like her a lot!!! I would refer her in a heart beat!

Dr Chimata does a very good job on making sure her patients are very well taken care of. She goes over everything that is related to a certain condition.

Dr. Chimata, NP Andrea D'Gama, and the team are efficient, kind, and knowledgeable. I appreciate the time they take with each patient and listening to my concerns. The wait times are long, but that is due to the comprehensive assessments needed and the scarcity of exemplary rheumatologists in the area.

When I saw the doctor on my appointment date, I really liked the fact that she was really patient understanding. I also like the fact that her staff called me telling me they had an opening sooner than my appointment that was awesome. Thank you.

Praise God for Dr. Chimata and her team. If you are reading this and feeling hopeless about your health, please keep reading, because finding this clinic was an absolute answered prayer for me. ?For 16 long years, I woke up every single morning in 10 out of 10 pain across all my joints and muscles. I sought answers back then, but was just brushed off with a diagnosis of "osteoarthritis" and basically told I'd likely be immobilized by the time I was 60. No treatment plan, no physical therapy, nothing. I thought it was just my cross to bear. I gritted my teeth, prayed for the strength to get through the day, and went to work, sometimes literally crying from the extreme pain, until I finally had to retire in January 2026 as I simply could not continue any longer. ?It was around this time that the Lord finally started opening doors for my healing. I was diagnosed with spinal cord compression in my cervical spine with severe symptoms, which was thankfully decompressed during my first… surgery in February. Now, I am preparing for a second surgery to relieve the spinal cord compression in my thoracic spine that is weakening my lower body. God's grace really showed up through Dr. Meng Huang’s neurosurgery team at Houston Methodist. I shared my 16-year struggle with his NP, Delmar Imperial-Aubin. She listened to my story, told me "that is unacceptable," and immediately went to work. She ordered a T-spine MRI and referred me straight to Dr. Chimata. ?From my very first visit at Katy Rheumatology, Dr. Chimata truly listened. She knew exactly what to look for and ordered the exact tests needed. The results finally revealed the truth: I have two autoimmune diseases. ?When I got the news, I literally shed tears. Not out of fear, but out of pure validation. After 16 years of suffering in the dark, I finally had proof that it wasn't just in my head. Less than 24 hours later, I woke up with a huge smile on my face. Yes, this is a lifelong condition I will have to manage, but God is so good—we finally have a real treatment plan ready to go as soon as I recover from my T-spine surgery. ?For the first time in over a decade, I have a true sense of hope that I am going to get some quality of life back. I firmly believe God blessed Dr. Chimata, Dr. Huang, Delmar, and their entire teams with the wisdom and compassion to finally bless me with these answers. If you are suffering and feel like doctors aren't listening, go see Dr. Chimata. She will fight for you.
