Dr. Jyothishree Rao Pinnaka, MD

URGENT!! URGENT!!! JYOTHISHREE PINNAKA is the worst so call doctor ever. Fact is, she should NEVER be allowed to perform C&P Exams on no U.S. Military Veterans!! In my case, she was contracted by the VA and/or Leidos QTC to give a Medical Opinion; ACCEPTABLE CLINICAL EVIDENCE (ACE) exam for my VA claim issues. I was never seen, contacted, or diagnosed by her. JYOTHISHREE PINNAKA gave incorrect and untruthful Medical Opinion on the VA DBQ. That said, I had already been seen by several different specialist doctors who performed my initial Exams and diagnosed all of my VA Claim issues. On the DBQ's she flat out lied and said I did not have an exam or current diagnosis, which was a lie. To dispute her false statement, I had a current diagnosis and Medical Opinion Nexus letter from each of my Specialize doctor who also gave me treatment and medication prescriptions. Also the doctors who completed my initial exam completed my original DBQ’s. JYOTHISHREE PINNAKA do not care about the… Veterans and needs to be reported to the White House Hot Line. I was able to Fact Check this by ordering a copy of my CFile and read the statement she wrote on my DBQs, which was all lies, and untruthful information. She wrote the opposite of the truth and didn’t bother reading my doctor Medical Opinions & diagnosis. In closing to All Veteran regarding C&P exams, Please stay Far away from this provider at all cost. She will lie and give false incorrect statement on your DBQ report!!

Do not go here for a C&P exam. Wasn't paying attention, was on a personal call during our conversation, showed no interest, kept getting my information mixed up and kept stating how she has little to do with the outcome of my C&P. Terrible doctor!!

This Dr. rushed the appointment didn't do any required procedures for a C and P exam and to top it all she say's it doesn't matter what she says the VA already made a decision. Veterans avoid her for a C and P exam.

Dr. Pinnaka is a horrible provider for the VA. I saw kidney specialist about my feet. My exam consisted of her asking me to turn around in a circle. Dr. Pinnaka then provided the VA with lies on DBQ. Good thing I recorded this exam to show, how the VA doctor shop for bad evidence. Will be filing a complaint with the medical board for lying on these documents.

It is hard to get touch with Dr Pinnaka. When calling her concerning some problems, she is not available nor returning any calls. Dr. Pinnaka hardly visits the dialysis clinic.

Did not show up for our follow up appointment which she personally scheduled, nor did she have staff call to reschedule. When I ask what to do next they stated she is very busy at this time and suggested helping me find a new nephrologist or sending my workup back to my referring physician.

The second visit she insisted I start dialysis. She always insisted appond her own way. If you disagree with her, she keep reinterrating into you agree. I also, felt in my opinion that she tried to bribe me with pain killers. Asking me what will it take for me to stay on the type of dialysis she thought was best for me. Was not willing to listen to my issues, became threatening saying if I don't keep my appointments she will put in my medical records that I'm non-compliant and then this would cause my not to be a reciprocate of a kidney transplant.

If kidney disease is your only problem, she appears to be very good. If, however, you have other medical problems, their importance is not taken into account.

Having had a seemingly vast experience with physician office visits (due to several medical problems), I will say that the initial appointment with Dr. Pinnaka was the most informing office visit I have ever had. She took the time to thoroughly explain and make sure I understood my medical situation totally. Everyone in the office was also very friendly and welcoming as well as helpful and thorough in performing their responsibilities. This office visit experience had the effect of instilling complete confidence in Dr. Pinnaka and future medical care.

she took good care of me despite the fact that i was not having coverage , very sincerely followed up with me took time to explain my daughter . a real blessing to memphis hospitals
