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.

Told me incorrect medical information
I saw Dr. Tadikonda for the first time due to seeing blood in my urine. She told she did the test and there was no blood in my urine and told me to visit my gyn. When I actually looked at the urine test it indicated there WAS blood in my urine so she told me something that was contrary to the results. I will not be returning.

Not good since Covid
I disagree with some who have said that Dr. Tadikonda is not a good doctor. I think she is a very good doctor, very knowledgeable, and she used to be very compassionate and hands-on. Since Covid hit, she became absolutely paranoid about being in the same room with her patients, and the process that patients had to go through to be seen for a very cursory exam, at best, was ridiculous. You cannot properly care for patients that way. If Dr. Tadikonda felt too at risk seeing patients in person during and since Covid, she should have temporarily stopped seeing patients until she felt it was safe again. This was particularly hard on patients like me who were diagnosed with cancer right at the beginning of Covid in 2020, before there were any vaccines. It was a time when I really needed the care and compassion of Dr. Tadikonda, but was unfortunately unable to get it. I think that Covid greatly affected her and ruined her as a doctor we could depend on.

Find a better PCP
Dr Tadikonda is a nice person, but not a great doctor. She’s listless about her patients that are presenting serious health issues, will never follow up with you herself, and does not seem interested to help you improve any health outcomes. Don’t waste your time. I changed doctors after seeing her for several years, and she did not even notice. My new doctor is amazing, which really highlights the lack of care she provided while I was her patient. If you want to improve your health outcomes, change physicians immediately. If you like mediocre care, keep her as your PCP.

I would not recommend Tadikonda. She is not very knowledgeable and will rebound your questions to other doctors and is really not that helpful honestly. You have to take control of your own health and you can get confirmations from her as you go, that's about all you will get from her. I would find another PCP.

Dr. Tadikonda is just an OK doctor. If you are fine with just an OK doctor, then she is your PCP, but if you expect something better like a doctor that takes more responsibility then she is not your doctor. She WILL push you to other doctors and will not make any decisions which leaves you hopping doctors to doctors and consumes a lot of time. She also will not give you imaging orders for better diagnosis. Also, do not expect any calls from her if they find anything wrong with your diagnosis report of any kind. She will have the front desk call you and tell you to go see another doctor. So, really why bother selecting her as your PCP? I would look elsewhere.

Dr. Tadikonda is an average doctor at best. She will try as much as she can to push you to other doctors and will not take any responsibility to try to help you. She also hesitates quite a bit in giving you imaging orders for better diagnosis. Don't expect any calls from this office if they find anything wrong with your diagnosis report of any kind. So, really that leaves no reason why anyone would choose her as PCP frankly. I would look elsewhere for a better PCP.

Dr. Tadikonda is very sweet. She compassionate, empathetic and understanding. Her staff on the other hand is not. Its sad how the staff can ruin your experience in a good practice. The medical assistants are rude, the front desk eat at their desk and gossip all day. The office manager stays in her office on the phone. I wish the staff were as good as the doctors they work for.

I have been seeing Dr. Tadikonda for five years now. She is very attentive, very responsive to my needs and returns calls in a timely manner. I have visited the office on occasion when not in the best moods. Dr. Tadikonda remains pleasant and professional.

I have been a patient of Dr. Tadikonda for more than 10 years and a patient of the practice for over 20 years. Dr. Tadikonda is very compassionate and is empathetic to the plight of her patients. I feel that it is very easy to ask her about anything and she is very accessible (as far as appointments and phone calls).

Dr. Tadikonda is a lovely person but leaves little to be desired as a physician. When I see her for a problem she is very quick to pass off even the smallest issues to a specialist rather than treating me herself. I feel as if my medical conditions are not handled by her the way an internal medicine Doctor is supposed to manage a patient.
