Dr. Prabhakar Rao Tipirneni, MD

He is a brilliant surgeon. He won’t waste your time. He is highly respected as one of the BEST head and neck surgeons in our state. I am grateful I took the advice of my neighbors and friends here in South Kingstown to get a second opinion for my “no cancer” diagnosis from a physician in Boston. If I hadn’t, I would have not survived. Literally. My head and neck cancer spread to many adjoining tissues and was caught just in time. I owe him my life. He is not a man of many words. But a brilliant doctor who you can be sure to trust.

I had the pleasure of meeting Dr.Tipirneni the other day for the first time, and it will be the last. I am from Canada and he is the worst “specialist” I have encountered since coming to America. His nurse was strange as well. He knew nothing of my medical history, when most specialists I went to have studied it beforehand to have a gist of what kind of help I might need. Instead of reading that on his pc he proceeded to give useless advice as the things he recommended were already done. He didn’t check my ears or nose etc. until before A minute I left. He seemed detached and aloof. I asked for my nose to me coterized and his opinion and he said no right away. I said ok well if your not going to bother listening to my reason and already came to a conclusion they why am I here? “He said I don’t why your here. I didn’t ask you to come here” it was a complete waste of time going there to a so called specialist that didn’t even ask me why I was there or read my history until I was telling… him he should know that stuff if he read my history. He blamed my doctor that they didn’t send enough information. I wouldn’t recommend this guy to anyone. There are other doctors out there and I’ll get a second opinion. I prefer professionals that are educated In USA and Canada anyway. 1/5 stars

So far I have had 2 appointments scheduled with the doctor and both times I was told when I showed up that the appointment had been changed. I was upset that they office did not have the professionalism to let me know before I took sick time to make the appointment. Both times they said they left a message, but my phone is not set up to take messages and I did not have a missed call alert. There is nothing worse than liars!

Doctor Tipirneni is a knowledgeable, helpful and caring doctor-as is his office staff. I highly reccomend him to anyone looking for an Ear/ Nose/ Throat doctor.

I highly recommend Dr. Tip. He is patient & caring - an exceptional listener. He has provided me so much relief with my health issues and greatly improved my quality of life.Note: The Warwick office is hectic; it is worth it to see him in Wakefield. No wait there.
