Dr. Anitha Ratnam Kuchipudi, MD

I have never been to a doctor who is so rude and disrespectful in my life!!!!!! I went with my 90 year old mother in hopes that we could get her feeling better than she has after her accident of falling... She told us flat out that she is 90 years old and she has this and that and there is nothing she could do for her. Now I know that she has problems but to come right out and tell her she is dying when her heart doctor told he she was doing excellent just 2 days before!!!! I don't know who she thinks she is but if you tell someone that age she is dying then that is very very very hard for them to hear and should be told to the family and not to her face. By the way, every other dr has said she is doing great and will be around for a while. So she will not be going back there at all we are looking for someone else right now!!!! Someone with compassion for a 90 year old women!!!!

She is intelligent, caring and strict about her patients following her instructions. I called her after 9:00 pm when I was suffering from muscle spasms causing me horrible pain, she called me right back. She talks about my feelings and usually can tell if I’m depressed. She listens to what I say when I have something wrong. She is not warm and fuzzy when you first meet her, she’s a no nonsense doctor but she’s there when you need her. I’m very happy she is MY doctor!! She took the time to go above and beyond for me last year, made sure she had all the medical facts when the biopsy showed cancer! She has never let me down! An excellent physician

I highly don't recommend seeing this doctor as they are unprofessional and disrespectful I have been on medication for depression in the past and have decided to go back on it. As any person with a mental illness would do if they relapse and have unhealthy thoughts and feelings. I had an appointment with her and she disrespected me, belittled me, and made me feel guilty for coming to her with this request in the first place. Which is a terrible feeling, when it took a lot to succumb to the fact that i needed to go back on medication and can't deal with depression on my own. No one, no matter the circumstance, should feel they can't be honest with their doctor. It should be a safe and judgement free place, and Anitha Kuchipudi is one of the most judgmental people I've ever met. What's worse is that she refused to clear me medically to study abroad. HA....as if to say i am inadequate to travel because of my depression. I am very disappointed in this way of thinking, as it is… inaccurate. Those with depression are not inadequate and are able to do anything that any one else is able to do. I am deeply offended, and am jumping through hoops finding a new doctor that will certainly clear me.

recommended by a friend and find her to be very professional ..listened and recommended sound advice for my concerns.

I don"t feel comfortable with her.

I have just had the worst experience ever at a doctors office. This doctor was not only rude she was totally disrespectful. How can a doctor treat an 83 year old woman so cruel by making her cry. If you need to have certain paperwork with you when you come for a visit please tell the patient up front. It was the office that should have told us that before we come for an appointment. If I could have given no stars, that is what I would have done.

She may not be for the overly fussy or sensitive types. Has a dry sense of humor and is a no nonsense doctor that knows her job. I get chewed out on a regular basis about my blood test results and have finally started paying a lot more attention to my diet. Phone calls with questions are always promptly returned and prescription refills promptly sent to a pharmacy.
