Dr. Todd Martin Dudley, MD

I write this review after a recent extremely brief office visit with Dr. Dudley. To say that I was shocked and stunned by the incredible change in Dr. Dudley's personality is a great understatement. The primary reason for visiting was to get a renewal of my Adderall prescription, a controlled substance that he has refilled for many years with no questions whatsoever -- none! Before that, the now-retired Dr. Duggan did the same thing. Until this most recent visit, there was never any question that my need for my medication was genuine. When Dr. Dudley came into the visiting room, he was gruff, impatient and blatantly uncaring -- as though something traumatic may have recently occurred to him. He was a completely different person, someone, quite frankly, who should NOT be seeing patients. I was told during a previous phone call that Dr. Dudley was vacationing in Florida, thus having to postpone my follow-up visit. I normally can get a refill from a nurse practitioner, but Dr. Dudley's… NP suddenly told me, for the first time, that my last refill was completed "as a courtesy" and would never be done again unless filled by Dr. Dudley. I used as a conversation opener a standard question. He curtly responded, "I didn't go to Florida!" Wow. So I simply made the standard request for my Adderall prescription. In response to my standard request, Dr. Dudley looked at me with the angriest eyes I am sure I have ever experienced with a medical professional, and told me he was refusing to ever prescribe Adderall to me again -- as though I was somehow a criminal simply because I was requesting a medication I had used for adult ADD, pain in my back, to control shakes in my hands, among other things, was suddenly moot. He told me, for the first time EVER, that he considered Adderall to be a "designer drug" which, if anyone who has done any research on the medication, is clearly not the case. Is it often abused, particularly college students, who attempt to use it for study and other purposes? Absolutely. But that is the case with many other medications, whether they be amphetamine-based, benzo-based or opiate-based prescriptions. I understand that Adderall is considered controversial by some segments of the medical profession, but I have taken it since 1999, and have yet in all that time to have suffered any ill effects -- only positive ones. What truly surprised me most, however, was his complete lack of care or concern for my well-being as his, and your, longtime patient. Did he wish to discuss alternative therapies? No! He didn't even broach the subject with me. This would seem to be THE most basic tenet of decent medical care. I reiterated to him, as I had done a few times before, that my neurologist specifically had recommended that I continue my Adderall refills. "Then get HER to do it!" he snapped at me. The brief visit concluded with a very sharply conveyed concluding query: "Well, are we done here?", to which I, still in shock, sheepishly replied, "I guess so." He opened the door, stormed out, and slammed it behind him. I was so stunned by the experience that it's taken me a few weeks to absorb and process the experience. What on earth is happening to Dr. Dudley, and also, your office? People like Morgan Martin, Dudley's assistants Sarah and, in particular, Ashley, have become impersonal people, communicating in very condescending fashion, as though we don't deserve their valuable time. And I have never, EVER been anything but kind and considerate to each one of them. Is Dr. Dudley suffering from some kind of physical or mental condition himself? What is happening at Indiana Internal Medicine Consultants? I am currently awaiting a reply from the practice's executive administrator, at which point I will file an update. But for now, I strongly recommend against seeing Dr. Todd Dudley, for any reason.

Doctored with Dr Dudley for 17 years, his medical assistant Sarah Powers ( didn't know she worked for my doctor until I called IIM to find out where the boys mother worked that was telling him my info)was telling her family my medical info.The office manager told me she was my doctors medical assistant. When I told him we had a problem he said he didn't want to hear it. I said but she works for you. He said "do you want me to leave the room"? The office manager got me at the desk and wanted to talk to me. She said "If you keep talking about this you will be put out of Indiana Internal Medicine".Dr Dudley wrote a letter to me the next day Sept 10th my birthday and I got it on the 14th. He told me it was best I went somewhere else and made my cpap doctor and my pulmonologist sign they would not treat me any longer.They kept the assistant and let me go.Shows how good the HIPPA law is.I have been yelled at, dump truck air horned for 30 seconds in front of my house and they even had their… son at 14 calling me names. A kid from the neighborhood came by me while I was in my front yard and her husband hollered and said"Don't get near her she is a pedophile" If this is the kind of people you want to be treated by your welcome to them. I only gave one star because I had to.I have lost all respect for Dr Dudley, I would not recommend him ever again and I sent him a few people.

Been taking meds from previous doctor for 20 yrs. & after previous doctor retired Dr. Dudley kept me on same meds for 3 yrs & then stopped me cold turkey on 4 different meds & the only explanation I got was that he doesn’t prescribe these any more. Really? Always rushes & makes you feel like a inconvenience. Doesn’t return phone calls a lot & takes over 6 months to get a referral. Very unhappy with this doctor.

Dr Dudley and his staff have lost their ability to care for the elderly. My mom complained to him and his staff on several occasions that she was feeling bad and her blood pressure was dropping very low and she just wasn't feeling well. His response was always she is fine. She even asked if she should go to a cardiologist since her blood pressure was so low, he said no. After I made her go see a cardiologist she is now recovering from a double bypass and valve repair. This did not happen overnight so everyone feels that he should of paid more attention to her and her concerns. We even called them yesterday for some information and the didn't even ask why she was in the hospital.

Dr Dudley is an example of what a caring physician should be. He listens to what you have to say, is patient in his manner, and gentle in his dealing. I asked him not to retire until after I died because I don't want to switch doctors. (BTW, he promised!)

My husband is recovering from cancer because of Dr Dudley! His advise and recommendation for a good surgeon were invaluable in our decision process! We are thankful that he is our doctor!

Dr Dudley is knowledgeable without being arrogant; professional without being stiff or evasive; and very kind. He is just on top of things, he knows medicine. He is a great listener. He gets to the bottom of things. He really cares about you and you know it!

Communication was poor. I had to ask the receptionist about why I only had two of my four prescriptions. Stated it was electronically sent to pharmacy. It wasn't. Found out later the doctor didn't want me taking the medication I have been on since 1999. Medication I was not having any problems with. When I asked about it, his assistant said he was not going to write a prescription for these two meds. No reason given. I'm going back to my former family doctor and will pay the out-of-network fees to do so. Communication was very poor, I was made to feel I was a hassle to him.

very bright and intellegent doctor
