Dr. Gowri Pachigolla, MD

Exam rushed with quick & short answers to question and no full explanation of the results of the exam. The prescription was not accurate for my vision. After several returns for adjustments, still unable to see comfortable. The last time I was in the office, I was refused answers about new frames that Debbie said she would order because I didn't wear a mask. They were concerned about masks that have been proven non effective than providing service after I had paid about $800 for glasses that's fit only for the trash. Avoid this doctor & Eyecare Associates of Texas at all cost. They had a hidden agenda that ONLY benefits them. There are better options available.

Doctor made zero effort to communicate with me other than "all okay". No greeting, didnt even look up when i entered exam room. She should be working in a lab with petri dishes, not patients. Annoyed that I'm left not fully trusting her diagnosis, as I have a family history of macular. Will have to reschedule with a doctor that cares enough, respects their patients enough to spend 30 seconds explaining what they examined and accessment. The reception and other staff were professional.

Dr. Pachigolla is very fast, somewhat brusque. She has an excellent knowledge of Sjogren's, and other autoimmune diseases. She seemed to understand my rare Primary Immune Deficiency disease better than most doctors. She covered all the bases in my exams with her. I've seen her twice, and the rest of her staff three or four times.

If I could give this doctor a zero, I would. I have been to this doctor a few times, and each time she seems to rush through my exam and not provide any feedback on my eye condition. I am somewhat elderly and have several medications, so I asked her to slow down and explain to me what medications I need to take and when. She acted like it was an inconvenience, rolled her eyes, and told me to talk to her nurse. I have never had such a terrible experience with any doctor. I will not go back.
