I'm sure Dr. Pothuri can do the job required, but the people running his office lack basic organization skills.  My "rescheduled" procedure was mistakenly cancelled approximately noon the day before by an office "representative", but the rest of the Doctor's staff and I were never informed of this.  I received 2 phone calls, one as late as 4 PM (4 hours after the cancellation), discussing my liquid diet participation in preparation for the next day, so my cancellation was only privy information to the one that cancelled. I was informed of the cancellation upon registration at the hospital the morning of the scheduled procedure.
I won't be back.
