Dr. Lakshmi Joyappa Bythadka, MD

She was fairly dismissive of every time I've approached her for treatment. She would send me for lab work or do a quick exam, but would never report back on those results, even to say all looked fine. My biggest complaint was when I came in 5 weeks after a car accident and had extreme pain from whiplash. After ensuring no nerve damage briefly (only after I emphasized I hurt a lot) she gave me muscle relaxants and said I'd be fine. I took her word for it and tried to get by, until finally 2 months later with no change I decided that wasn't enough, went to a chiropractor, and finally could function again after 3 months of treatment. I still have minor chronic pain 2 years later. I might have tried to return to her if my experience wasn't so uncomfortable, as if she did not want to be there and was bothered by my coming in because no airbags deployed so I should be just fine and I must've only had sore muscles after 5 weeks.
