I just don't feel that there is good communication. Dr Pothula asks me questions but before I finish answering, he is asking another question. There is no direct communication. His back is generally to me while he takes notes or does whatever he is doing. I was told to come for an appointment by a nurse who said there was a difference between the heart monitor test of last year and this year and that wasn't even brought up. Dr Pothula said he could either start a new medication or do a test where he inserted something in the leg vein to look at the heart but he preferred the medication first. I chose the medication. The whole appointment took less than 10 minutes. I was in the car before I realized that the original reason for the appointment had not been addressed or that I had no idea what the new medication was for. It falls on me that I didn't ask more questions but it falls on Dr Pothula not to discuss the issues with me.

Love Dr. Pothula! Been seeing him for about 15+ years and he consistently treats me and his staff with respect dignity and kindness! He’s the best!

This dr was not forthcoming about my heart - he acted like he didn't want me to do an angiography because of the cost. When he was done talking to me - he said go home. I have never had a doctor tell me to go home. I did chose to have the angiography done, because I knew there was something wrong. There was a 90% blockage and I needed a stint.

I couldn't ask for anyone better. He is very knowledgeable, explains everything clearly, shows kindness and has a sense of humor....that always helps! He's a VERY good cardiologist. I put all my trust in him.
