    I was referred to Dr. Sonthineni in Oct. 2012 for multiple neurological symptoms, I thought…read morepossibly MS. This doctor was on the referral list that my primary uses, so I had no reason to question her credentials. However, after 4 months of confusing communication of test results, ordering of sleep-related tests that were unrelated to my complaints, outright wrong statements about the source of some of my symptoms, poor handling of my reaction to a prescribed medication and generally feeling that I was not getting anywhere being treated by this doctor, I looked her up in healthgrades.com. I was shocked and disturbed to find out that she apparently is not a neurologist at all. Her board certification is in psychiatry, and her husband (who practices out of the same office but may not claim to be a neurologist) is board certified in physical medicine and rehabilitation. Apparently because they named their joint business Broome Neurosciences, it was automatically assumed that one of them was a qualified neurologist. What they really do there is brain wave testing, nerve response testing, and sleep studies, at least that's what they did with me. It does not appear to be a coincidence that everyone I know (3 plus myself) who has been referred to their office has been ordered to undergo multiple sleep studies and been told that they have sleep apnea. I don't have any of the symptoms except being tired in the morning, and that, I believe is because of my chronic (13 years) fibromyalgia pain. I couldn't fall asleep or stay asleep during my study due to extreme discomfort, itching, pain and frustration, yet they claimed that I slept 81% of the time and stopped breathing 16 times per hour. As a result, I don't believe anything she says to me, and I am looking for a REAL neurologist. Also, I have never been given anything on paper for any test results, and even my daughter, who is a nurse, was confused by the convoluted discussion of my symptoms and initial test results when she went with me for a followup appointment. She could not imagine how anyone with memory or other cognitive issues would ever know what their condition really was or whether the treatment/ medication prescribed was appropriate or helpful. I had a very strong sleepiness/ dizzyness reaction to gabapentin, which I reported to her office after a few days because I couldn't function. She insisted that I continue to take it because the side effects should wear off within a few weeks. I couldn't stay awake if I sat down, or drive safely, or walk without weaving and stumbling for a full month, yet she was reluctant to take me off the gabapentin before I had been on it for the full month. Then I could take nothing at all for the neuropathy pain and muscle issues for 6 weeks to clear the gabapentin from my system. By the time I could have had something else, I was so disgusted with the doctor, I wouldn't allow her to treat me anymore. So I wasted 4 months on inappropriate treatment by an unqualified doctor, and now it will be another 3-4 months before I can get in to see a qualified neurologist to start over. Needless to say, I am very angry that this kind of thing could even happen. You would think that the healthcare system would check the credentials and licensing of their participating physicians and give accurate referrals.
