Dr. Saritha Dodla, MD

How much do you trust a doctors office that cannot pay their little $214.33 bill? We were kind enough to extend a 30 day grace period and it has been 2 months. Patient beware!!

I had a follow up visit with Dr. Dodla after I was hospitalized for the first time for my heart. I waited over an hour even though there was only a couple of us there. I naturally had questions since I was active, healthy and I've never been hospitalized for anything before. I mentioned the symptoms that I was feeling like dizziness, shortness of breath and sudden increase in heart rate. She said that I'm just nervous nervous because I'm talking to her and she's wearing a white coat. She said that I was fine and probably just had a virus. I said that I don't think that is the case and that she wasn't making me nervous at all. Arrogantly, she said, "So, you're a cardiologist now huh?". All this time she kept on walking away as if she can't spend more than a minute for the visit. She didn't do any test or show any concern. My condition continued to degrade so I went to another cardiologist because I'm not fully convinced that it was just a virus. He put a monitor on me. Shortly after that, I received a call from my new cardiologist to tell me that I need to go to the ER immediately. I've been hospitalized many times since then. I'm now on different kinds of heart meds. I have gone through several ablations and received an AICD implant but never got back to normal. I'm now disabled and sometimes require the use of a wheelchair. I wonder if Dr Dodla would have done the right thing by listening and have taken the time to properly diagnose my condition, if anything could have been done to prevent the current condition I'm in.

I have been visiting Dr Dodla since 2011, since then my husband and several in our extended family have joined. Dr Dodla has excellent bedside manners, she is very pleasant, compassionate, very detail oriented, knowledgeable and spends time patiently answering all our questions. We are very fortunate to have found Dr Dodla and can't imagine anyone else as our cardiologist.

Horrible bedside

Dr. Dodla is amazing. She is very knowledgeable, always concerned and compassionate, and very kind to my mom (the 87 year old patient) and to me, her daughter. Her other partners are also very good.

Dr Dodla has taken care of me since 2011 & I feel it is the best of care.

First office visit with her. Had forms to fill out so we were there early. Very impressed with her. She is very knowledgeable and respects you as a person, she doesn't mind explaining what she wants to do and why.
