f I could find a way to put this doctor out of business, I would. So hopefully someone considering going to see him will read this first and save themselves a lot of money, time and heartbreak. My son was referred to him when his primary doctor saw a large mass on his neck. the first visit to his office was pretty typical. He looked him over for about 5 minutes and then said he needed to do an ultrasound on his neck so scheduled him for that. Second visit, he made us come him to get results, pay another office visit just to tell us he needed to schedule another appointment in three weeks for a biopsy. A third visit to get those results, another office visit just to tell us the biopsy was inconclusive and we would need to see a surgeon. I didnt even mention how rude he was to me during all these visits and told me he could fire us as patients because I was on my phone using email when I was waiting for him in his waiting room. It has been several months later and we are still waiting our records as we went to another doctor. They told us it would take three weeks to get our files and in the meantime subsequent visits to other doctors we had to do the tests over because this crazy doctor would not get us our records. But he managed to send us a letter to say he fired us as patients. I have never in my life been through such an awful experience and now my son is most likely dealing with Thyroid cancer that could have been detected months ago if not for dealing with a doctor that should retire. Please please do not see this doctor. You will absolutely regret it if you do.

I called this "doctors Office" and asked if they were taking what I would now call new clients. We had booked the appointment and then she asked about my Insurance. I explained my husband and I own 2 Businesses and I work in Interior Design and due to My husbands kidney condition we were unable to obtain ins. for ourselvs with out costing our employees 10x what they are paying now. I told her we would be paing in full at each visit. I explained my thyroid levels were in the 100s.400s and that I had to get in asap. This rude robot of a assistant sounded as if she were reading off a script telling me there would be many many of tests run. I explained I understood that I would need some tests but how could she tell me how many when Im now waiting on lood wk and other tests that may cut out many of their tests. She insisted it would just be to exspensive for a self pay. I have paid for several tests since Ocober 09 and we would continue to pay in full at each visit with my currant doctor. She then began to say... slightly laughed/ cought herslf cleared her throat - then stopped herself and said selfpay as if it were wefare.Dont get me wrong, Im glad they do take ACCHS for those how cant pay. But I cant get insurance and I make to much for assitance so I pay for my appointments and I am turned away... watch out America- this is how the new "HEALTH CARE IS CREEPING IN... We are in troubleand doctors like this are the problem NOT THE ANWSER...

Literally one of the most unprofessional and negative experiences I have had in the medical field. I was ordered to have blood work done and was told by a nurse that it wasnt necessary to fast and then when I arrived to get the blood work done at a separate facility they informed me that the paperwork said I was required to fast. When I called the office to make sure that this blood panel would still be accepted I was told the doctor does not do "phone consultations". Honestly the place seemed shady and I wouldnt doubt if this was done on purpose to squeeze more money out of me. Stay far away from this place, I wish I had.

Dr Pinnamaneni is easily the worst doctor I have ever seen. My experiences echos almost all of the experiences of the other people that have submitted reviews of this doctor. I also was put through a series of tests in his nuclear lab. None of the results were ever discussed with me. He refused to write my prescriptions for more then 30 days even though my insurance required 90 day prescriptions. This was because he wanted to get me back in his office so he could bill my insurance company no doubt. His office and equipment is dated and dirty. Steer clear of this guy hes more concerned about billing you then your health!
