    I have not had a good experience here - mostly with their outdated systems and protocols which I…read moreknow they will say are best for patient care. I understood a little more about what might be going on with this office when I looked at all the negative reviews and the responses (on Google reviews) that the office gave to the patients who wrote those reviews. The offices responses to these patients were very defensive and never, not once apologetic or understanding. This is a red flag. Don't ignore it. Go see it for yourself over on Google Reviews. I read the reviews before making an appointment but I decided to take a chance despite the low rating - primarily because I couldn't get in to see a top rated doc for 6 months or more! I regret having done so because the way they do things at this office is so inconvenient for patients who are used to the internet and same day to 24 hour turn arounds for medical records. And for those who expect to be able to have a biopsy without having to have another follow-up before it. I get it - cash reigns supreme :). I'm sure it was "medically necessary" to ask me questions in an office visit that I could have answered over the phone. I'll be seeking medical care elsewhere for my issues. No staff was rude to me and the doctor was pleasant. My issues were not related to the politeness of the doctor or staff. I advise everyone to look for one of the top rated doctors/offices in the valley who understands how to use the internet, patient portals, fax machines and the like for timely communications on the patient's behalf (like medical records). The top rated docs? There is a reason they are top rated. Yes, you'll have to wait a while to see them. I believe it is worth it to get the level of care (not just medical care but actual like they care about you as a person and what your needs are) that you as a person struggling with a medical issue would probably want. It feels bad when your body is conspiring to ruin you and your doctor's office tells you to wait 2 weeks for medical records (after snail mail or hand delivering your request for said records) that you need when you managed to slide in to a top rated doctor's office on a cancellation by chance! Go see Dr. Gina Matthew. You won't regret it! Look at her ratings. The ratings don't lie.

    I arrived for my appointment with the complete understanding that I would be asked to undress,…read moreleaving on my undergarments-which in itself is unusual for an introductory endocrinology appointment. I confirmed this with the medical staff once over the phone and once when I was in the exam room. When I met Dr. Pinnamaneni, he was nothing short of rude. When I began describing my symptoms, he touched the side of my neck and declared that my thyroid was inflamed, despite completely clean blood work. A simple google search would tell you that the thyroid lies at the base of the neck, almost between the collar bones-not even remotely close to where Dr. Pinnamaneni had briefly touched. Might I add I never saw an individual wear gloves or wash their hands throughout the entire time in this facility. The most concerning part however, is when Dr. Pinnamaneni insisted on observing me perform a self breast exam. I explained to him that I was told repeatedly that I would not have to completely undress. He told me that it was medically necessary, almost becoming angry with me. I insisted that I was extremely uncomfortable, especially with my religious modesty standards, and that if the female nurse could instead observe, then I would accommodate him. He insisted that he had to be present to observe. He then told me that I'm not going to comply I can leave his office immediately, essentially "firing" me as a patient because I refused to completely disrobe, exposing myself to what I now know to be completely unnecessary "testing". My overall experience with this medical "professional" was truly awful and left me driving away in tears and without proper medical treatment. Over the course of my visit he insulted his nursing staff in front of me, disrespected my religious accommodations, verbally insulted me personally, and pressured me into exposing myself.
