Dr. Annapoorna Arunachalam, MD

She was draining my goiter over and over, every couple of months, and doing biopsies always reporting negative for over a year. We decided to get a second opinion and turns out it WAS CANCER. My cancer ridden thyroid was removed. Thank God we decided to get a second opinion.

I have been a patient of Dr. Arunachalam since 1997. She has always made time to listen to me and make sure that I understand what she is saying. Her staff is always polite. Being one of her oldest patients, I have seen staff come and go, but Amy is always there. Her medical technicians are friendly. Yes, calling the office can sometimes be frustrating, but overall, I am super happy with her care.

I am a 62 year old female, I have seen several doctors in my lifetime. I can honest say she is by far the worst t9hat I have seen. I truely do not believe she knows what she is doing and tries to muddle through it by being rude, not listening, trying to order tests that I clearly didn't need. She was so rude that I got up and left, she literally yelled, 'you sit down!' I hope this information helps someone from making the same mistake that I did. Not only did that happen but she had the audacity to bill my insurance company $317.00 for not even a 10 minute appointment.

This is the worst run doctor's office I've ever seen. I've been trying to pay a bill for 3 weeks! No one returns calls, the whole office is a circus! Don't go to this Doctor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NO COMPASSION!! She's so RUDE!! She walked me out of the room before even making it evident that's she was finished with me. Took me over a month to schedule an appointment and then she rushes you out. I feel like all she wants is your money from your insurance. She's quick to disregard your legitament concerns (treatment options, medication dosages, medical hx, future fertility implications), FIND SOMEONE WHO CARES and actually LISTENS TO THEIR PATIENTS. --as a NEW PATIENT, I am NEVER COMING B

I have been to many Thyroid doctors over the years. I had thyroid cancer in 2002. I started going to Dr. Anna 5 years ago and I have no complaints. Sometimes it's hard to reach her office, but I have the problem with all doctors. She tells you the truth even if it's not what you want to hear. Her staff has always been polite to me, never rude. Her office hours are the same as mine, so my only negative is I always have to take time off work.

She's the WORST!! Do not go with this Doctor! Back in 2015 she wrongly diagnosed me with cancer!!! She performed a biopsy in her office without ultrasound guidance! Which obviously resulted in mixed results! I then changed doctors, did another biopsy and resulted benign! By the way... her office was always filthy. If I could give less than one star I would!!!

Hopefully, I can help someone with this review. This dr does not use ultrasound guidance for her biopsies & this is a very outdated practice. It almost cost me my thyroid! She told me I needed to have my thyroid REMOVED based on the pathology results. She didn't even spend time with me after delivering this shocking news. I had lots of questions! I went for a second opinion at an office that uses ultrasound guidance & advanced pathology. Bottom line- I DO NOT need my thyroid removed!!
