Dr. Shrinivas Diggikar, MD

I am greeted professionally by everyone and the office has great communication and follow up.

Short wait time mostly

Arrogant, rude, doesn’t pretend to care, doesn’t listen, doesn’t explain, doesn’t answer questions, no respect for patients, last visit, didn’t order lab work - had to tell nurse in examining room - back to waiting room, go to lab- back to waiting room- then back to examining room. Does he even know what he is doing? Wouldn’t recommend him to roadkill. Won’t go back to see him.

I am over 65 female with breast cancer. First visit was a waste of my time because the Onco report had not come back, he spent less than 5 minutes telling me that, appt over. Second visit he was dismissive of any side effects of Aromatase Inhibitors, maybe a few muscle aches or hot flashes but said “they are no big deal”. He didn’t ask about any previous bone density scans or results or recommend getting one. He just prescribed Hormone blocker and said come back in 5 weeks. He has obviously never had to deal with hormone effects as a woman. I have dealt with hysterectomy and menopause, did a lot of research. I had my PCP order bone density so I would know how my bones are now. I am looking for new doctor.

Everyone is courteous, friendly and respectful.

Dr. Diggikar is knowledgeable and was concerned about finding the right treatment option for me. He takes time to answer my questions during office visits and responds through his nurse quickly when I email. I’m thankful to God to have been sent to Dr. Diggikar and Texas Oncology staff in South Arlington.

I was happy to be able to meet with the doctor rather than the ‘on line’ visit with someone the was in Austin Tx!

Dr Diggikar and team are friendly and easy to talk with. Diggikar seems to be very knowledgeable about his profession.

Dr. Diggikar is patient, willing to your medical issues. He knows your history and will proceed with your care as best as possible.

He was very rude and dismiss by my condition of sickle cell telling me my parents were crazy. He didn't not care what happened to me. I wouldn't recommend him him. He is very arrogant

Very satisfied with the care I received from Dr. Diggikar and his entire staff. All my questions were answered and although my visits didn't last long I always felt like I got all the information I needed in the short office visits. I would highly recommend Dr. Diggikar.

Dr. Diggikar is very knowledgeable and has an excellent bedside manner. He is very compassionate and readily available to answer questions.

Very informative and he is very nice.

visit was short and to the point

Dr. Diggikar is very kind, considerate, and takes the time to explain all of your test! I am very pleased with my care!

My Personal Experience... Dr Diggikar is lacking in the bed side manner of his practice. He knows his craft however does not know how to explain to a patient that wants to know information. When challenged he seems to get defensive and shuts down. With a diagnosis of cancer of anything I would like to see an oncologist have more fight and hope in them, than "I am doing the best I can". Yes my cancer is terminal but celebrate the good news when you can. Instead of pointing out all the bad. We know its bad. I also feel his patient to doctor ratio is off. He does not study or check with his staff with portal messages or phone calls with challenges. my 15 min window for my appointments always seem rushed. If new meds are introduced at that time there is a lack of explanation of how to administer them. Which leads to mistakes.

I like the way that Dr. Diggikar took time to explain my options. I'm also appreciative of the way that Amy in Dr Diggikar's office responded to my telephone questions. The scheduling person is very professional and ready to assist.

Great experience.

I have only seen him twice, but he was very informative and made me feel very comfortable. He saw me at hospital and I was very fortunate to be able to appoint with him. Staff is very friendly and Amy, his nurse has been excellent!

He will answer all of my questions. He doesn’t overwhelm you but arms you with good information. He’s mild mannered but very smart. I’m thrilled he’s my oncologist.
