If you care about your health you should go elsewhere. This doctor and her staff are all rude, and absolutely the worst.

I felt the care could have been better. It felt like she literally doesn't care.

I had been seeing a company doctor annually provided by my company for an annual physical. Upon retirement I had to find another physician for primary healthcare. I was able to schedule an appointment with Dr. Kanagala for a basic checkup after a recommendation from my wife. I was pleased with the visit. The appointment was on time, her attention to detail was thorough, and she has a wonderful personality that is often missing today in the medical field.

Dr. Kanagala always comes in prepared. We go over my medications and my condition status from the last visit. She listens to any questions or concerns regarding my health. The she will address any issues so you walk out with a plan. She is responsive to any issues I may ask on my portal. She makes sure you have your prescriptions or referrals if needed. You walk out with a report in your hand along with your next appointment if needed.. She is very easy to talk to. All the Staff are kind to and want to help if you have a problem.
