Dr. Karunakara Paturu, MD

overly wordy, bad reaction to drugs prescribed (bad reaction associated with my prior condition and the drug itself), in my opinion a very poor visit that I will not repeat

Dr. Paturu is amazing! He spends adequate time with each one of his patients. He is brilliant and honest. You will not find anyone more kind hearted, compassionate, or skilled.

When asked a direct question ("What's the plan of attack once we get the biopsy results?"), this man stared off into space for about 20 seconds, then responded "I don't know." Way to inspire confidence, Doc! When his ICU patient died a few days later, he walked into the room, saw the relatives in tears, said "OH!" and backed out of the room without another word. Never did he say "I'm sorry for your loss." He withheld food/sustenance from his patient for over a week (no feeding tube...NOTHING for more than a week in an elderly patient!). Avoid this so-called Doctor at all costs.
