Dr. Prabhakara Rao Tumpati, MD

First I found Laura to be a complete delight. She is very good at returning calls and just a very nice person. As u sat in office with the dr he seemed very informative but as he continued to talk he turned his head to the side and kept rolling his back and wouldn't look at me. In back of my mind I'm thinking hmmm. Body language is that of someone a bit shady. Then as Laura is telling me about the medication the dr interrupted for something stupid then told her she needs to speak fasted. How rude is he! This is the best part. MY CAPSULES OF PHENTERMINE WERE ALL ONLY HALF FULL and I Was SO SICK THROWING UP FROM WHAT WAS ADDED TO IT I will never go back

I saw this doctor for a possible sleep disorder. He ordered a sleep study, which I completed and a follow up appointment. At the appointment after the sleep study, he diagnosed me with Narcolepsy, he then handed me a prescription for a medication to start that day. He then handed me a pamphlet for another drug that requires counseling before it can be dispensed. Then said I will see you in 3 weeks. He never told me anything about Narcolepsy, how this diagnosis is going to affect my job, did not explain the medications I was being prescribed the one medication that requires counseling is a form of GHB. No bedside manner at all. I tried to make a few jokes and he struggled to smile. I have so many questions and I do not feel like I can call him and ask them. My job is already in jeopardy because of this condition and now I have a diagnosis but I don't even know if he will fill out paper work for FMLA for me, especially while starting these medications with some serious side effects. I am… getting my records and finding another doctor asap. I still can not believe he never explained the condition and what to expect with the diagnosis and how it will affect my job. The staff was very nice, courteous and friendly, unfortunately I need more than someone thats just going to hand me a prescription.

The above issued 2 scrips for Soma to an addict who then proceeded to OD on the things about 6 days later, getting his stomach pumped. Great job doc!
