This guy belongs in a research lab not with patients. His bedside manner is cold, clinical and ends there.He does not follow up on his patient's lab results unless the patient calls his office.Not avail to see patients in the hospital or after without waiting 3 months for an appt. DO NOT USE THIS PERSON for your health care. One person at the front desk is snide and uninformed as well,not capable of checking a FAX machine for patient records sent by other MD's

My husband was referred to this doctor by his cardiologist and we waited 6 weeks to get into see him. Dr patakoti asked my husband 4 questions, listened to his heart and told us to go immediately to the ER and come back in three months. If Dr Patakoti would have actually READ my husband's medical record over the prior 2 months, he should have realized that the low heart rate was already there in prior ER visits. Do not waste your time on this dr patakoti, we will never go back to him.
