Dr. Prameela Baddigam, MD

I have bipolar disorder. Baddigam was the primary psychiatrist during one of my inpatient hospitalizations. My first full day, I had a 15-minute appointment with her wherein she suggested a medication I'd already tried (and to which I had a bad reaction). I told her that the medication in question worsened my symptoms, and 30 seconds later she prescribed it anyway. In the context of inpatient visits, I was essentially forced to comply; inpatient non-compliance is universally met with punitive action.Predictably, I had a very negative reaction and was profoundly symptomatic for the next two days. She used that negative reaction to extend my psych hold. She literally worsened my condition AND prolonged an already-difficult hospital stay, all because she lacked the basic ability and decency to listen to a patient.Baddigam is a terrible doctor. There is no other way to put it. It's just a job to her; there is no humanity in her practice whatsoever.

As a current patient whom has been under the medical care of doctor Prameela Baddigam for over the past 5 years, I am shocked to read negative comments towards either Mr or Mrs Baddigam. I do believe that the vast majority of those reviews have more to do with other factors such as (unforeseen insurance issues, wait time, Dr hopping/drug seeking behavior, etc.) then it does with the actual care you receive while discussing you’re issues with the doctors. As a patient who has been here for the better part of 5+ years I know that there are some minor issues that can happen, with my biggest issue being the wait time you may face while also having to wait in a crowded room. -Mrs Baddigam, If you ever happen to stumble upon this review and were curious to know how some of your patients truly feel about all of the different aspects that are used to determine your rating. I say to forget the number of stars one has given you and to hear this from me: THANK YOU so much for never giving up

I have been seeing Dr. Prameela Baddigam for seven years. She listens and always does her best to help you. She has saved my life. I am so very grateful for her. She is a wonderful person as well as an excellent Doctor. I have not had any problems with the staff. They are professional and willing to help. I have seen other psychiatrist before her, that I had found were arrogant and not willing to work on the medicine that is right for you. Thank you Dr. Baddigam
