Great team of people in front office and Dr Challa is patient, understanding and knowledgeable.

To Whom It May Concern: Subject: Dissatisfied with Dr. Hanimi Challa, MD During my visit, while I was waiting in the examination room, Dr. Challa entered without introducing himself. His manner seemed abrupt and unprofessional, which immediately made me feel uncomfortable. Although I did not express my concerns at the time. I did not feel welcomed as a patient. When Dr. Challa asked about the reason for my visit, I began explaining that I have several ongoing health conditions, including fibromyalgia, migraine headaches, insomnia, TMJ disorders, joint pain, and ear-related issues. As I discussed my medical history, I felt that my concerns were dismissed rather than carefully considered. At one point, I mentioned that I see a dermatologist, and his response suggested that this was not important. I also explained that I needed a referral for my annual mammogram because I am considered high-risk due to my family history and I also have skin Cancer, my sister passed away from breast cancer. Instead of showing understanding, Dr. Challa responded in a frustrated tone and stated, "From the beginning, I want to let you know that I am a doctor who does not like giving referral. I stated I needed him to send referrals to my neurology and he seemed to be upset. This statement was very concerning to me. When I told him I needed the referrals and if doesn't send it to my neurologist my family or I were going to held him responsible if something happens to me. Later on the receptionist called me to make the following appointment and kindly I asked her if he as issue any referrals to my doctor, she stated he only summited one to my neurologist Dr. Jacome, I asked her if he issue the one for the mammogram she state only for Dr. Jacome, I complained he needed to submit one because my mammogram was pass due. Then she came back to the phone and told me he was going to send it in. I feel deserve to feel heard, respected, and supported, especially when managing multiple health conditions. Unfortunately, my experience did not reflect to this standards, when I checked the reviews giving to him other patients also complaint of his attitude and him also annoyed of giving referrals which it could put patients life in danger. Please if anyone is not content with his service, continue reporting him before any innocent patient suffers any fatal consequence due to him not caring for his patient Thank you, June 2026 read more

Dr Challa has been treating my mom for years, she has recently been diagnosed with adenocarcinoma and it's been a process to get the care that she needs, I am trying to get a referral and he is yelling at me "I am putting too much pressure on him and I will antagonize everyone". There is no empathy in those words. That's not a doctor I would ever recommend. read more
