Mr. Reddy's shameless haughtiness is, frankly, sickening. This is unlikely to be an effect most would seek from a physician.

Once he pauses his incessant prattle long enough for the patient to complete a sentence, rather than answer what are decidedly lucid questions, he seems to instinctively resort to deflective condescension, effectively declaring them irrelevant and absurd provocations, as if his sovereign authority is being challenged. Not only is this entirely unhelpful, it is utterly disrespectful and at least -- by reacting in complete arrogance to innocent questions seemingly perceived as an attack on his personal domain, while simultaneously attacking the domain of the patient, i.e., by prejudging their question's rationale -- moderately hypocritical.

The personal qualities of an effective physician are extraordinarily similar to those of an effective teacher, e.g., communicates well, listens well, is somewhat empathetic, and possesses requisite domain knowledge and understanding.

Mr. Reddy does not appear to present very many such qualities other than relevant knowledge and understanding, though the value of this can be significantly discounted if it is used in an unbeneficial way. Indeed, being unwilling or unable to share such knowledge and understanding with a patient in the appropriate circumstance is certainly selfish, not beneficial, and potentially harmful. Further, it is very difficult for one to listen (to others) well when they are perpetually preoccupied with listening to themselves. Similarly, one-sided communication might be acceptable for someone giving a speech to a camera, but patients are not ignorant inanimate objects (unless they happen to be in this office).

My wife has had 2 strokes and has kidney failure and diabetes. Her health is fragile and when she needs care, she needs it right away. Dr. Reddy always gets her in ASAP and deals with her problems. I highly recommend him. He is invariably pleasant and doesn't take any chances with her care.

I have had Dr. Reddy as my physican for over 8 years. He is knowledgeable, kind and he listens to me if I have a concern. He has seen me in the hospital, checking on me daily making sure I am getting the care I need. I have many physical problems right now and he is giving me the necessary care needed. He does refer me out to other doctors who have more expertise in the field (such as a back problem). I might not like the diagnosis he gives me but it is usually the correct one. I highly recommend Dr. Reddy to my family and my friends.

I found Dr. Reddy to be very helpful and through for myself and my husband. He cleared up several probems for us that our last doctor would not do anything about. We like him very much.

He has a pleasant personality, good for colds/flu, other major issues ask him to refer you, otherwise he will chalk up office visits. I don't think he knows how rude his office staff, who answers the phone is. He does spend a lot of time at the hospital, but maybe he should more proficient, really listen to his patients, and overhaul his office staff. Never saw so many people in one office get so little done. As soon as you call for an appt. they put you on hold.

This doctor was the "on call" doctor while I was in the hospital. He visited me every day while I was hospitalized (8 days) and was very attentive to my questions and very concerned about my recovery. I would recommend him very highly.

Dr Reddy is one of the very few doctors who gives the impression that he is really interested in your case. He is willing to talk to you more than five minutes ifnecessary
