D K. — “Words cannot give justice to how I truly feel about Dr. Reddy and her practice. I have the utmost respect for her and I owe her a debt of gratitude for the care she gave to me. I truly had my options in choosing who I wanted to direct my care and the first person that came to mind was Dr. Reddy as I have witnessed first hand her compassion and competence. My life literally flashed before my eyes when I was found to have an abnormality on one of tests. Feelings of shock, fear, confusion, and defeat took over me when I received the news. Immediately I turned to Dr. Reddy and she very calmly, efficiently, and systematically, pulled out all the stops to ensure that I received what I perceived as “above and beyond the call of duty” care. Her office is located in the new pavilion building which makes getting radiology and lab tests done easy at Orange Coast Memorial. During my times of fear and anxiety she reassured me and helped me remain calm and focused. She wouldn’t just listen to me, but she heard what I was saying and was sympathetic. She was my biggest advocate and supporter. When I was about to make a hasty decision on treatment, not listening to her recommendations against it, she did not relent but remained persistent, using various approaches, to give me clarity and it worked. I did not go through with that treatment which would not have been the best choice for me. Thereafter, I gave her complete control and she did not let me down. At the end of it, her recommendation was the best recommendation. Everything turned out as I prayed it would. It would have been different had I done my own thing. She remained professional and caring. She never demeaned me or made me feel that I was not qualified to decide on my medical care; rather, she spoke to me in a manner I could understand so I could be more informed. These are qualities that are hardly ever seen this day in age. These days, patients do not get random follow up calls from their doctor to check on them to see they’re doing. Physicians don’t sense your fear and then invite you into their office to help to relax you and tell you it’s going to be okay. But Dr. Reddy does. She treats her patients as they are members of her family. She genuinely cares. She will fight for you. She will stand up for you. She will make sure that you get the best care that can be given because you are her patient and she expects nothing less for her patients. Thank you again, Dr. Reddy, for saving my sanity, and my life.”
