Papaiah Shastry Sreepada's Online Review Report Card

Doctor diagnosed me with Neropathy….he then sent me a text saying my blood work showed signs of cancer and recommended that I go see a specialist….Specialist said I did not have any cancer worries….went back to Dr Sreepeda and asked next steps…he recommended further testing….after further testing he told me I dont have neropathy….so total waste of time along with scaring my wife and In regards to his cancer diagnosis…oh for two….would not recommend this guy

Excellent - He took time to discover the issues I was having with balance and has a plan to see if he can improve my life - highly recommend him

I left after seeing him and thought this has got to be a joke!! I have 5- 6 mm of cerebellar tonsil ectopia same as chiari milformation have so many symptoms that go hand in hand with my condition, he says all my symptoms have nothing to do with it and nothing is wrong neurologically. My last visit with him he had walked out like we were done but came back in came back in and said he was confused and confused with all my symptoms it didn't make since, I then teared up and he says oh look your getting all worked up.. do you need to go to the emergency room?? I started to cry with that unbelievable comment slowly got up got my purse and said I just want to go. He then proceeds out the door left the door open and says to the nurses out in the hall, there's nothing I can do for her, neurologically there's nothing wrong, she's in there tearing up and getting all anxious. I have never had such a bad experience with any doctor, it was very unprofessional and rude.

I had a family member go see him and they told me they had worst experience. He is so childish and rude. Do not recommend.

I had to see Dr. Sreepada before neck surgery in 2018 for clearance since I have neurological issues. I was also having migraines ALOT. He told me what I needed to take and to follow up. After my surgery my migraines weren’t nearly as bad or as often so I didn’t go back. Well...in 2020 I had to have TWO more neck surgeries and my migraines came back with a vengeance. I made an appointment to go see him. When he got into the room he instantly started to lecture me like a child because it had been 2 years and 2 months since I had seen him!! He then proceeded to tell me that when people have other issues like stomach they go right back to doctor yet nobody ever follows up with their neurologist like they should and he just doesn’t understand that!! I have no idea why I didn’t walk out of there immediately. He gave me a regimen to follow, I tried it but it’s not working. Upon checking my records of doctor notes he stated he checked me thoroughly: my mouth, ears, nose, throat, tonsils, etc. and everything was good and he specially put NO deviated septum was noticed during exam. What?? What exam? And at that time I had a severe deviated septum, I just had surgery on it four weeks ago today!! Instead of going back to him I called Dr. Ellis (in same area) to switch to him. I was then told that Dr. Sreepada and Dr. Ellis will need to talk and agree it’s okay for me to transfer doctors!! Really???? I thought I had a choice of doctors?? I didn’t know it was dictated by THEM! I waited six days for a call back...nothing, so I finally called them and I now have an appointment with Dr. Ellis FOUR months out since I’m a new patient. So....four more months of bad migraines and no sleep for me.

My neuro surgeon referred me to Dr. Sreepada a few years ago. I was in so much neurological pain that my neuro surgeon thought I had MS and my migraines were up to 27 out of 30 days of the month. It wasn't MS which he told me that when I walked in the door. To make a long story short he figured out that my issues were thyroid, mineral and vitamin deficiency related. I now feel 10 times better, and am currently having 0 migraines per month. He's not a drug pushing doctor. He's a doctor that looks for the root of the issue and tries to figure out the most natural way to fix it. He will prescribe medications, but he will tell you that medication should be for the short term, not for life. You have to take care of the basics first. He's my health partner, because he really cares. I still see him every year and he checks my levels to see what I need to try to improve. He's the doctor that I make sure I show up to his appointments.

He did not listen to me about my Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension and Hemiplegic Migraines. Instead, he would spend every appointment yelling at me for 20 minutes telling me I was being a hysterical woman and it was all in my head and I didn’t want to get better. This man made me cry multiple times. Then, on top of that, his office staff never answers the phone or calls you back if you leave a message, and they rarely respond to messages through the patient portal so there is ZERO way to contact them between appointments. Absolutely terrible experience. He actually wrote in my chart that I was suffering from hysteria after he made me cry. What is this 1842? Even his physician assistant could not believe the way he treated me.

He pushed my issues to the side and wouldn't listen to me about my chiari malformation and the symptoms I was having. He didn't listen to anything I had to say and I couldn't get a word in edgewise. Truly upsetting that now I have to travel to little rock just to get someone to listen to me.

My PCP suggested the new Emgality injections for relief of my Chronic migraines. The initial start up is 2 injections (30 day longevity). Two days later I was in the ER with a severe allergic reaction. They ordered a host of tests. I was then refered to a Neurologist in Joplin. He reviewed them and said wrote a Rx for Steroids. 2 weeks later my symptoms were cont'd to advance with addtn'l symptoms surfacing. I ask my PCP to refer me to another Neutologist. She ssf suggested Dr. Sreepada. After his review of all my tests and had answers to all my conditions, even those not related to the Migranes. My husband & I both were blown away by his due diligence, attention to detail and spot on treatment. I can not say enough how Blessed I am to have found him. ??????????

This doctor was the perfect mix of listening, asking questions, and reviewing chart history. He made a diagnosis after thoroughly going over my history and condition currently. I easily understood his English 99% of the time.
