Bring your patience and your wallet. There are too many Doctors to waste your time with Pothuri. When you call their office the phone is primarily answered in India. Good luck understanding most of them. If you are lucky the call will ring back and be answered at his office. If you have any billing or coding related issues, all that is in India. During your consultation be very careful how you answer questions. The PA is noting everything and if you say the wrong thing it will be weaponized and your procedure will change from a simple preventive care to a diagnostic and you may be paying out of pocket when you should not be. I found dealing with this office to be very frustrating and unprofessional. I will never use or recommend this Doctor again.

I went to Dr. Pothuri for severe stomach pain. I had been to two other doctors prior to Dr. Pothuri but they said the pain was related to my diabetes and there was nothing to be done about the pain. Well I went to see Dr. Pothuri hoping he would have an idea on how to live with this pain. He listened to me, I mean really listen and he believed me. It felt so good to finally have a doctor listen to and believe me. Well long story short he scheduled some tests and they found a tumor on my right ovary and contacted me right away. I've since had surgery and the surgeon eventually found two other tumors. They did a complete hysterectomy and I am on my way to complete health. I and my family will be forever grateful to Dr. Pothuri for listening to me, believing in me and saving my life.
