Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Wrongly diagnosed me with Bipolar I disorder and treated me with a medication that gave me insane side effects. It was dangerous and when I asked her to change, she just kept increasing my dose. Do not go to her.

Dr. Baddela should not be practicing medicine. She is crazy and dangerous...Prescription errors...will not change her mistakes. Like another patient, she caused a seizure that the fire department had to force my door open. I almost died!!! I am suing!

EXTREMELY rude. Made rude comments about how I was feeling and the medications my doctor previously had me on. THEN with all of her wisdom her best advice was to put me on a medication that I am highly allergic to. Something that I obviously stated in my paperwork. Don’t waste your time, money, and frustration.

More of a technician, tweaking your settings, than a caring physician. More than willing to place you on long-term medication cycles for drugs not meant to be taken longer than several weeks. Will neither inform you of the serious cognitive and neural side-effects of long-term use of these drugs, nor recommend alternatives, then will have the nerve to openly ridicule you for daring to go outside her advice, or attempting any other course, even after the damage is apparent.

garbage person, worse physician – Jan 06, 2018
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Baddela?
VERY unhelpful. Never returns phone calls. I’ve gone weeks without my prescription being refilled because she won’t respond to requests by my pharmacy to fill them, nor will she answer my attempts to have her be in touch with the pharmacy. ALWAYS wait 45 mins+ after scheduled appointment time. Receptionist is very condescending. I wish it were possible to give a negative review.

Dr Baddela stares out the window when you try to talk to her. Always complaining of allergies. Seems to have zero interest in really helping you. I was not feeling any better on the medications she prescribed and she had zero interest in helping me find the correct medication.

????I chose this doctor as I relocated to the area. I have not had more than 6 visits with her. She is always late. Not a big deal... happens with everything. She doesn't seem focused or caring. 0 eye contact and yawns, stares out the window, complains about allergies. She is ANTI benZo type of drug RX. She made a mistake with my prescription &when I called and spoke to her whack secretary,nothing happened. Im having seizures, withdrawal symptoms. Never followed up as promised on phone. HORRIBLE

Filing lawsuit in Bel air MD – May 05, 2017
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Baddela?
I know there is some negative feedback here, but wanted to put in my review. I came in as a first-time patient. The medication I tried was a bit too strong and I needed a lower dose. Each time I called about medication, she called me right back the same day. She was very responsive to my needs. Her office is a bit short staffed of help, but you will get a call back.

Dr Baddella stares out the window when I talk to her. She doesn't seem to be interested in how I am feeling & is an extreme disappointment after having Dr Solberg as my psychiatrist for 3 years. I am looking for another doctor as I write this as I cannot wait to find another doctor in the area!
