This office is dangerous and unprofessional. My wife’s entire year of lupus care — labs, imaging, MRIs, medications — was missing from her chart. Dr. Reddy berated and humiliated her, ignored her explanations, and demanded everything be repeated. That is negligence, plain and simple. The front desk is just as bad: lost referrals, unsent prescriptions, and even violating HIPAA by discussing other patients’ info on the phone. Do not waste your time, money, or trust here. Kendall, PA, is the only competent provider, but the rest of this practice is an absolute disgrace.

Very poor communication, ordered expensive medication without checking patient health. Can't trust what they are doing.

I have been seeing Dr. Reddy for over a year now, I have found her to be an extremely professional Dr. and a personal one also. She has a warm personality, smiles easily, and listens to you when you talk to her. I would give her a excellent referral to my friends or family.
