Do not use this doctor if you care about being heard and properly treated. First he greeted me like a returning patient referencing “last time we talked” and I said I’m a new patient. Then he didn’t listen to any of my history or symptoms because his suggested next step contradicted my symptoms. Seemed annoyed by my questions, rushed me out, and barely made eye contact. The lady who checked me out was great but the calls to get appointment and my check in left a lot to be desired.

I’m so glad my father cancelled doing anything with this doctor. They do not care about the patient, they only care about the money. When the insurance company shares that they will pay 100% and his staff is arguing with the insurance company that they shouldn’t be able to cover 100% of the expenses?! I’ve never heard of such a thing!

The whole staff was sick with the flu and still working. Even though certain medications lower your immune system from fighting flu, infections and more. Did not like that at all. The doctor basically did not want help my son with medication refill or start new treatment until he did colonoscopy and endoscopy. My son was already suffering with symptoms and needed relief. And he basically sent us away. I felt he did not care for my son's well being. And found a different doctor. He was able to help him get back to normal and only requested for endoscopy. And provided the medication on first visit. Find a doctor that cares for your well being.

Acceptable. Does not explain diet needed for IBS. At first tried to blame my IBS on anxiety. Didn't like that.

Dr. Pothuri was very thorough with his exam and explanations of treatments and procedures. He was also empathetic. Was able to take care of my problem very quickly.

I have been once. The appointment went well. Dr. Pothuri seems caring & competent. Scheduled Eso scope procedure. I have needed to talk to office a couple of times about it. THEY NEVER ANSWER THEIR PHONES. You are sent to automated voice answering system to leave a message. It is very irritating and I would consider not going forward with him because of that.

Dr. Pothuri is the BEST GI doctor around! First, he got me in the same day I called. Second, he expedited my appointment with my insurance company. He is very professional, patient, and really listens to your concerns. We believe we have diagnosed my issue :) Should have require to see another GI doctor, i will most defiantly see Dr. Pothuri! Thank you SO much for everything!!
****The ONLY issue is the office does not answer phone calls, which makes it difficult to schedule appointments

I was a new patient of Dr. Pothuri for a colon screening and had no issues after procedure. Dr. Pothuri is a good doctor from my experience and I have had 2 prior Gastro Doctors due to insurance changes. I would Recommend Dr. Pothuri .

His office staff is outstanding. I was in and out in 30 minutes for my first appt. He is a very nice person and a professional and caring doctor. He discussed my health issues in detail. I had a colonoscopy and was pleased with the procedure. The staff at North Cypress Medical is wonderful.

I have been seeing Dr Pothuri for the past 5 yrs and am extremely satisfied with his care for me as a person. We have done a couple of Scopies and have had great recovery each time.
I recently recommended my wife to him and she too was very complimentary of his services.
I would highly recommend him for your Gastro consulting needs.
