"New Patient Appt moved up a week, Thanks to another's cancelation. Day of Appt, Dr Pathikonda was seeing Patients on time, no waiting. Personally, bad day for New Patient Appt, severally Depressed, Emotional. Dr. Pathikonda, patiently, sought answers to his questions, to make a determination of the likely issue. Testing would be necessary to accurately diagnosis. Which was scheduled. Dr. Pathikonda prescribed prescription medication, advised to change some over the counter medications, and dietary changes to control the symptoms and discomfort in the mean time. I am experiencing, relief. Experimenting with diet changes and exercise tweeks trying for additional relief. Dr. Pathikonda has made a treatment plan, that together will get me to the accurate diagnosis and action needed thereafter. I am mobile by walker and wheelchair, following extensive spinal fusions. My strong suggestion to anyone who may alternate between walker and wheelchair, "Use your Wheelchair." The Building Entrance has an extremely long handicap ramp. The multi Physicians waiting room very spacious, long hallways to the patient rooms, and also to the rooms for scheduling procedures. Leaving is the reverse of entering."
"Dr. Pathikonda is very professional and thorough. Easy to talk to and he explains everything to you. His entire staff are great. Highly recommend him."
"I struggled to find a GI doctor that I felt confident in. I was referred to Dr. Pathikonda and I am very happy with the services provided so far. The staff that he works with is just as professional and courteous as he. They all seem so happy to assist. I also think it's great that Dr. Pathikonda is helping to develop skills of his interns. The young intern showed the same desire to assist and learn. We need more knowledgeable doctors. I have recently discovered again how incompetent many of the "doctors" or Practitioners are. I'm so grateful to have been introduced to Dr Pathikonda. I feel much more secure in my diagnosis and treatment since I have been under his care. Thank you Dr Pathikonda for being so wonderful and taking pride in your profession."
"Dr. Pathikonda is very thorough, informative and caring. I have confidence that he will address my concerns and get to the root of my problem.

""Dr Pathikonda was very knowledgeable, kind, courteous, and approachable. I felt like he genuinely listened to my concerns and took me seriously. He did the dictation right there in front of me and recited everything just about word for word, as I had spoken. That act, in itself, I found t be very impressive and compassionate. Very glad that I chose him to follow and treat my condition(s.)""
"I had a procedure done and I was terrified but Dr. Pathikonda and his staff were amazing and helped me to calm down. I encountered about 6 staff from start to finish, including Dr. Pathikonda himself, and every single one of them had fantastic bedside manner and made me feel safe. I'm grateful to Dr. Pathikonda and his staff at the Fort Worth Endoscopy Center. I'd also like to add that I had multiple concerns before my procedure that I needed answers from his staff and each time I called, I got a call back, usually same day or the next day if I called late. Depending on the urgency of my concerns, Dr. Pathikonda himself called me back. He was concerned for my well being and I was so afraid to even show up. I'm grateful I did. Thank you, Dr. Pathikonda and staff."

The day of the procedure he came to see me ahead of going into the OR and he just has the best demeanor and bedside manners. He called me the next week with the results and to check in on me. He is truly a very caring doctor. Dr. Pathikonda was very kind and empathetic from our first meeting. He is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I highly recommend him."

"Dr. Murali Pathikonda, MD literally saved my life. I'm just a regular working guy out here in the world, and the pain I was going through was the worst I ever experienced in my life, by far. I was initially misdiagnosed at the hospital, however, fate found a way of getting me there in front of Dr. Pathikonda. This man was able to communicate such a sense of care and concern so professionally yet personally, and understandably that he changed the way I see the world. He followed up every step, made sure I got directly to specific surgical contacts that I needed and just everything. This guy looked in my eyes and basically said if what was happening to me was happening to himself or his family, THIS is what he must do. There is no better admission or advice. I owe this man my life and I hope he knows he should be praised. Bless you, Dr. Pathikonda."

"Dr Pathikonda went above and beyond for me. When I felt like there was no end in sight for my issues, he made sure to do an extensive work up to get to the bottom of my discomfort. He’s not a physician that just throws medications at the issue he makes sure it’s done right the first time."

He was very kind and listened to my issues, giving me samples of several medications to see what worked best for my problems. We have started some testing, and I feel confident he will get to the root of the problem. I would recommend him to all of my friends and family.

"Dr. Pathikonda, and nursing staff and admin staff are very professional and welcoming. Everything was explained and all questions answered. Highly recommend Dr. Pathikonda and his entire staff at GIAlliance."
"Would definitely recommend Dr. Pathikonda, and the nurses are great too. You can tell they actually care about you and they don’t just treat you like a number, and they listen to all your questions and concerns. Dr. Pathikonda is also a very genuine, authentic person, and will actually take you seriously. I have unspecified esophageal dysmotility, and most of my past doctors didn’t really take much time trying to understand my condition, and rarely took my situation seriously, even though my symptoms were severe. My symptoms and condition is rare, so it’s taken some time to figure out what to do and who to go to, but I’m grateful I found Dr. Pathikonda. Some of my past doctors rushed me, and one even insinuated that I was psychotic or a hypochondriac, and I felt hopeless and like I was burden, but with Dr. Pathikonda, I felt heard and understood, and I’m confident him and his team will be able to help me with my condition."

"Dr. Pathikonda has a great bedside manner. He was very thorough in answering all my questions and took good care of my needs. I’d highly recommend him to others."
"Dr. Pathikonda is an excellent Dr. he actually takes the time to listen and figure out what is going on. My husband and I both use him. Procedure building is right next door to his office so that's a plus! His entire staff makes you feel at ease, no embarrassing moments in his office or procedure unit! Would definitely recommend Dr. Pathikonda!"
"Doctor P took the time to personally call me to check on me on the day before my procedure, since he was concerned that i was not in a good place, mentally. He definitely has a warm and caring rapport with patients"
"I’m a hard to please patient on many levels but Dr. Pathikonda exceeded them all. He is warm, caring, very knowledgeable, and extremely easy to talk to. I was extremely impressed with not only him, but also the place I had my colonoscopy done right next door. Would 10/10 recommend!"
