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.

Misdiagnosis and Ignored Actual Bloodwork Results
My husband saw this doctor at Skyline and she misdiagnosed his passing out and hitting his head with a seizure, prescribed medication for this, ignored all of our questions, refused to look at any of his charts from the ER (where it clearly stated what happened), and then threatened to take my husbands license away. The ER had diagnosed him with passing out from being dehydrated. One of her coworkers actually LAUGHED at her diagnosis and was able to give us a CORRECT diagnosis within 5 minutes of actually looking at the paperwork. HORRIBLE bedside manner, gave my husband medications that were very unnecessary, and literally ignored all the paperwork. Would never recommend her to anyone. Zero stars.

Don't waste your time
The Dr can't even keep a nurse. The Dr is very odd, she likes to carry a old fashioned Dr bag, like a child does pretending to be a doctor. I found it very hard to communicate to her. She would give me a sarcastic smile after each thing she would say, I found it scary and rude. She could never diagnose me and try to overmedicate me. All one stars comments I totally would say the same thing.

Professional and supportive
My daughter and I really had a wonderful experience with Doctor Nagineni when my wife was in the Ft. Worth Southwest hospital. My initial experience was troublesome as my wife’s Parkinson medications were being changed. As it turned out, the changes were very beneficial to my wife and my daughter and I want to send Doctor Nagineni a very heart-felt “Thank You” for your help.

Neurology Care Great Job!!
Dr . Nangineni is a fantastic neurologist who provided changes in our loved ones treatment regimen that resolved tremors and seizure activity very quickly! She made us feel very comfortable with visible improvement in our family member. We only wish she could have discharged our person. But there were other hospitalists who would need to discharge that would not. We respect this doctors abilities and saw physical changes that put our family on the mend.

Limited Issues
Evidently you are limited to one issue of your choosing to talk about in your appointment. You have to schedule a new appointment for each problem you may be having. If you vary to another problem, you will be redirected back to the topic at hand.

Waste of time. It's obvious when a neurologist is confronted with a negative MRI and EMG test, and blood tests that reveal little, well the bag of tricks is empty and they give up and claim "I can't help you." And there's the place to pay your bill and exit.

My father has been a patient of Dr Nagenini for three years, and he could not speak more highly of her expertise and kindness. As an RN with a history of 25 years ICU experience as well as QA positions, I recommended Dr Nagenini to my father after watching her interactions with her patients and her willingness to go out of her way to meet each patients' needs. As a daughter, I have been more than impressed with both Dr Nagenini and her staff. I feel blessed to have them caring for my father.

The staff is very nice, cooperative and calm at all times. Very efficient, they make it easy to get my medicines refilled. The staff talks to you on the phone and handles your questions and concerns without transferring you to other people. The wait is never long to be seen. Doctor Nagineni listens to what you say and answers your questions. If she doesn't know the answer she finds out and I appreciate that.

My son saw Dr. Nagineni for the management of his seizures in August 2016. I found a nice staff but poor organization of the office, and charting. Took 3 months to respond about results of ordinary lab work. Had difficulty in getting return phone calls in response to questions. When I requested a form to be signed I was told Dr. Nagineni was unable to sign it because she was not treating him for seizures but wanted to see him in January. Due to lack of trust that developed we changed offices.

Always have excessive wait (20-60 minutes) in waiting room after scheduled appointment time. This is very hard on my 89-year-old mother who is the patient. Today's relatively short wait (23 min) was for a just-after-lunch appt (1:15), when there were no other patients in the office.

New patient in Ft Worth, TX – Mar 16, 2016
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Nagineni?
Took over a month to get in to see her. Once I saw her she dedicated all of 10-15 minutes to me. Communications seemed to be a problem. I had already had a CT Scan and she wanted me to have another one even though I just had one (ordered by my primary care DR) 2 weeks earlier. She gave me no understandable reason as to why.
