Dr. Srinivas Manchikalapudi, MD

I have already spoken to Baptist health about finding a new cardiologist within a week of going to see this cardiologist. He is incredibly rude, disrespectful, and barely let me speak. He accused me of lying about going to see my primary care doctor and refused to put me on a statin, stating that it was a 'whole body' issue, and he did not deal with those, only heart issues. He barely let me get 10 words out before stating that I was going to die in the next 2-3 years if I didn't get my tachycardia under control, which is an extreme over exaggeration of the potential damage to my heart.

Dr. Manchi was very concerned that my husband's triglycerides were too high. He talked to him about the sweets and foods to avoid. On a recent visit Dr. Manchi was pleased that his triglycerides had lowered over 100 points into a normal reading. Thanks Dr. Manchi.

Dr Manchi is an awesome Dr. He keeps both my wife and I alive and in my case even discovered a cardiac problem never discovered before that through surgery saved my life.

I so disagree with the negative comments left about Dr. Manchi. Yes, he is a very busy cardiologist and he puts in many hours for his patients. He cares for both of my parents and has for years. He is very busy but he still takes the time necessary to treat your condition. If you need attention, he will make sure you get it. I have seen him several times at the hospital and he ALWAYS takes the time to acknowledge me and ask about my parents. Also, his office staff has been very kind and considerate through the years no matter what the need. Dr Manchi and his staff earn an A+ in my opinion. One of the best!!

If I could leave no stars I would! He was extremely disrespectful to me while I was in the ER having a heart attack, he didn't answer any questions or concerns, when he asked if I had done any drugs and I told him no he reworded the question and asked 3 or 4 more times. My after care visit was the same he maybe spent 4 or 5 minutes in the room continued treating me like a drug addict and still didn't give me any useful information. Dr.Manchi needs patient care training.

Outstanding care. Both my husband and I have seen Dr. MANCHI and we could not have asked for better care. Took all the time we needed, explained tests and results clearly. Extremely happy with his office staff as well. Highly recommend.

He saved my husband's life eight years ago, and he's still his patient today. Yes, you might have to wait for a bit in the waiting room, but it's worth it for excellent treatment. Both Dr. Manchi and his staff are very friendly and helpful. Contrary to other reviews, he does take time with his patients. I recommend him to anyone with heart issues.

He seems super rushed all the time and the office is way overscheduled.

If you ask questions, request tests, or try to explain symptoms you are treated like you are wasting his time. It seems as if he tries to get through as many patients as he can in a day.
