Dr. Mahipa Hewa Pallimulla, MD

If I could give 0 stars I would! It’s a shame bc Dr P. has been my family’s Dr for years. Found my mom’s cancer and has helped me in the past. Despite the long waiting, bad communication, and month long waits for results to get back w this office at st Mary’s hospital. I was still making appointments because I didn’t want to have to start with a new DR. I already made a google review on my visit earlier today and now I’m writing another. This place is TERRIBLE. They have people with terrible attitudes working there. They sit all day talking to each other while patients wait over 30-1hr for a simple consult. The dr today told me she would send in my prescription, just to give her an hour and she failed to do so. I call back and reached their call center, they’re “closed” but the website says 5. They decided to close 2 hours early today? I’ve already had a terrible interaction w the front desk receptionist and this just made matters worse. They tell my pharmacy I need to be seen… and they can’t approve auth for my refill BUT I JUST WENT TODAY at10am and was told to give her an hour (I gave her a few) and she would send it in. How is that possible ? Then I’m told, I need to find another Dr to fill my prescription. Enough said. If you like catching infections. Waiting long periods for a simple consult and nasty behavior this place is for you.

I rarely write reviews especially a bad one but I would like to warn any mothers of my experience with this doctor. I unfortunately had to see this doctor because of location and my insurance. At one point he claimed he needed to see me every 2 weeks even though I had no concerns with my pregnancy.. completely healthy. He used scare tactics telling me one time that I waited 3 weeks that my insurance "might drop me".... clearly he is milking insurance to pay way more than needed. and most upsetting thing was at the end of my pregnancy when I was 38 weeks pregnant he told me out of nowhere that I was scheduled to be inducted the next week. I had a healthy delivery with my first daughter no complications and went into labor on my own. I asked why I would be induced and he said so he could be there. I explained that I did not want to be induced and questioned why i would be and he laughed at me and said what do you think you can have the baby on your own........ like um hello how have… women given birth for centuries ...... he explained at one point that he can schedule me so he can be there if not how is he gonna be there to deliver me and tried scare tactics once again and laughed at me for thinking my body could go into labor on its own and I decided then and there at 38 weeks that he does not care what you want for you delivery he is set in his ways and has no trust in the women's body to deliver on their own he has no backup and only wants himself to deliver i believe for money.. I tried to tell him I do not want to be induced for no reason and he told me at 38-39 weeks if I do not get induced I will need to find a new doctor. Which is absolutely impossible to find a doctor willing to take you at 39 weeks. I can not even begin to explain the fear and anger I felt at the moment.. I would never wish it on anyone. I felt lost and stuck and feared to deliver with him given his attitude in birth. I never went back and was left with no doctor at 39 weeks. And guess what 4 days after 40 weeks my body went into labor on its own and delivered my healthy baby at another hospital who respected me and my wishes. WARNING if you want to have any kind of control of your pregnancy or delivery then do not see him. He wants to control your delivery and does not believe that you can deliver on your own even without ANY health concerns.

Amazing doctor I've been going to him almost 13 years now he took care of me for my four pregnancy & delivered my past 3 children . Never had a bad experience with him and he also has a very pleasant staff.

Dr. Pallimulla is great as a physician, he was referred to me by a good friend who trusts him to the utmost, and as I got to know him, I do as well, good physician and genuinely tries to help....the staff though, OMG. Good luck getting things done, (like prior auths, etc), or as simple as picking up the phone. As a medical assistant in the field, you should know what a common medication is, such as Clomid, girl was clueless....I'd give 5 stars for him, but the staff...I just can't with them. I've considered switching doctors just because of them but I'd hate to leave Dr. Pallimulla, we'll see.

Best gynecologist!

One thing I can say is that I wouldn't trade Doctor Pallimulla for any other Doctor. He is the best !

I have tried many obgyn's I refuse to go anywhere but here.

Dr. Palli has been my doctor for about 4 years now. He is the 4th doctor I've had in the past 10 years. He is the absolute best there is. He listens to his patients and he truly cares. I am glad that I found him when I did...as after years of trying to get pregnant, he worked with me and I had a healthy baby girl. I soooo recommend this doctor.

he is one of the best doctors ive gone to. very caring and friendly
