Jyothishree Pinnaka's Online Review Report Card

Falsifies VA Disability Benefit Questionnaires

Hello everyone. My name is Phillip E Smith Sr. I just want to give Dr. Pinnaka the highest review and praise. Dr. Pinnaka was very professional and thorough throughout my exams. She was very attentive and very polite. She answered every concern that I had as a patient. I would recommend Dr Jyothishree R Pinnaka to everyone that needs a true and honest professional in her field of expertise. She honestly would get a 10 star rating. Thanks Dr Pinnaka. You are truly an asset to your profession!

I had a 9 o’clock appointment today in support of my VA disability claim. I drove 150 miles and arrived one and a half hours early to make sure I could find the place and not be late. When I arrived the door was locked. Finally at 9:30 I received a phone call saying the DR was stuck at the airport and would not make our appointment. This is the first time in 58 years I’ve had a DR cancel AFTER the appointed time. This shows a total disrespect for me and my time. I would advise all to STAY AWAY! By the way, there was a sign on the door that said “knock once gently”. Which I did with no response. I asked the girl in the office next door and she said people come in her office all the time and ask about the sign. She said they would let only the patient in being seen while the others wait in the hallway. Totally unprofessional. I expect the post to be erased shortly after I hit submit.

If you have VA medical evaluation that is going to be done by PINNAKA JYOTHISHREE R she will not listen to you. And she will try to reduce your VA rating. She is not for the Veterains. She was on the phone with one her family members during my examination. And messed up on my medical evaluation. I would think twice in getting an VA evaluation from her.

My visit was very unusual, for a C & P exam. I was never asked to sit on a table I was never asked my range of motion or pain level. We sat and chat for a few minutes she said she would send her ratings to the VA and they would make their opinion. Obvious to say all of my claims were denied for reasons unknown to me seeing as how I was never examined. I would not refer another veteran to her and wish that the VA would not use her for exams.

First, they only take checks, which surprised me, because these days every clinic takes credit cards. After my first visit, I got my bill for the visit in my mailbox and mailed them a check. Then a few weeks later, I got another bill for the same visit. I thought the mail might get lost, so I mailed them another check. After that, I received the third bill for the same visit. That was when I smelt ...

Had a C and P exam by this doctor. Fellow veterans avoid her at all cost. She barely conducts an exam and says it doesn't matter the VA already has made a decision. Filing an appeal and working to get her from barred from doing C and P exams.

This Dr. rushed the appointment didn't do any required procedures for a C and P exam and to top it all she say's it doesn't matter what she says the VA already made a decision. Veterans avoid her for a C and P exam.

What a wonderful doctor. She is very personable, kind and takes time with patients and explains everything. Exactly what I want in my doctor.

Dr. Pinnaka is a horrible provider for the VA. I saw kidney specialist about my feet. My exam consisted of her asking me to turn around in a circle. Dr. Pinnaka then provided the VA with lies on DBQ. Good thing I recorded this exam to show, how the VA doctor shop for bad evidence. Will be filing a complaint with the medical board for lying on these documents.
