Praveen Reddy Md's Online Review Report Card

Unprofessional. Condescending.

In my 11 years and over 20 "doctors" with my condition, Dr. Reddy might be the worst one of the bunch. Completely unprofessional. I didn't even get to tell him about being stabbed in the eyesocket and neck before he declared that my previous diagnosises of trigeminal neuralgia were wrong. I doubt he even knows what that is. Stay away if you have a serious condition. Also, keep in mind that over 250,000 Americans are killed each year from medical negligence. Edit: I wonder why this quack has never heard of Cervicogenic facial pain.

Had surgery over 6 months ago, back still hurts (not spasms). Left leg and foot are still numb off and on. Still can not stand or walk for more than several minutes at a time. Last visit Dr. Reddy was very rude. Can't sit on spine, pain radiates to both hips.

Horrible bedside manner, never adequately explained totality of procedure for L2-L3 fusion and laminectomy and decompression of spinal stenosis. After two years of no symptom improvement following his surgery I sought outside physician assistance. CT scan revealed screws that were too small for the procedure, inadequate depth into the vertebral body, inappropriate plane of entry - no decompression of stenosis and loose screws. 2nd procedure to correct these errors revealed grossly loose screws, worse on the right, with a continuation of the symptoms for which I presented to him. Would not have him work on my dog! After 7 hours of dissection and removal of the old hardware, I am confident that my symptoms will improve. Only 30 days out from the new procedure and already feel better...

If I could give a 0 I would. Horrible doctor. Rude and not professional. Very disrespectful to both my husband and father in law. Would not recommend.

This visit to Dr Reddy's office was a great experience. The office staff was so comforting and efficient in pre appointment as well as on the day of the visit. Dr. Reddy was so good at explaining my situation and what he could do, and why he was doing it. He did not pressure me to have surgery, rather he just explained the pros and cons. As surgery is a very scary thing to have, I need to think it over and then get back to his office.

If I had the opportunity to go back and choose another surgeon , I would have. If you are a patient and you are dealing with a serious issue that effects your life , I would not recommend having Dr.Reddy touch your brain or anything else neurological on you. If you want to be treated like you and your health as an individual matters , go elsewhere . He performed the first surgery on me that unfortunately showed cancer. After that he sent me off with the worst advice & 2 years I tried to contact him & he told me I bounce around too much and told me to stick to another doctor. The most uncaring and rude healthcare professional I have ever encountered. Im a nurse , so I’ve seen alot. He didn’t even congratulate me that the cancer he discovered was gone. At the very least , he couldn’t even wish me well :( All I can say is , I thank God I found other more skilled surgeons who actually cared about me . You are right Dr.Reddy , I’ll stick with them ! God bless

Dr.Reddy is extremely rude to his former patients. If I had the opportunity to do it again, I would have chosen a surgeon who was caring. After contacting him two years after he performed a surgery on me , he told me to go somewhere else very rudely. I’m such a positive person and I try to stay in good spirits after beating a malignant brain tumor he discovered . The best advice I can give to anyone , who wants to be treated with respect , is to avoid any procedure with this surgeon.

I went to Dr Reddy because he operated on my mother with good results. He did 3 surgeries on my lumbar spine. One to remove old fused hardware, the second to do a multilevel fusion with rods and spacers. The third was to remove a spacer that migrated. The pain and weakness in my leg and back was worse. He refused to do another ct scan to see what going on. Went to a different surgeon who found issues such as not using the correct size screws and when spacer was removed part of it was left in between the vertebrae. Dr reddy did not go near me or touch me when I was in the hospital. He discharged me within 24 hours of the second surgery. Now I need another major lumbar surgery. New Dr actually treats me like a person and is compassionate in regards to issues I have been thru. He has sent me for thorough testing before sitting down with me and explaining any options. Which were basically none. The Dr and I have major concerns over wether I will get total use back of my right leg and foot as the nerves has been compressed so long. Please don’t go thru what I did. Please find a Dr who actually cares and is not in it for any other reason. Research! Don’t just go by other peoples experiences. Find an office with a Dr and staff who truly do care. Not this one. If anyone needs a good neurosurgeon I can refer one

I needed a lumbar fusion. Dr. Reddy did my surgery in Ocala Health. I was very surprised at how well I felt afterwards and ever since. I had minor intrusion due to the robotics he uses. I had a bothersome day during the first week. The staff got me in to see him that day and his recommendation had me feeling better by the end of the day. Helping Hands sent a nurse and physical therapist at home twice a week. They were so helpful. I’m not sure if Dr. Reddy sends them or the hospital does.I healed really well and quickly.
