Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Do not recommend this doctor
If I could give Harsha Tankala, M.D., a -1 rating, I would. He is the worst doctor I have ever encountered. He shows no concern for your health, constantly talks over you, and dismisses the reasons for your visit. His lack of empathy and rude behavior make it clear he does not prioritize patient care. I would not recommend him under any circumstances. Just look at the other reviews for confirmation. Please avoid this doctor. He will let your condition worsen without any real effort to help.

You have health issues? This is not your doctor.
Harsha Tankala, M.D.2.5 ?(11)Is a minimalist very Lazy doctor with no bedside manners, None. If you have any real health issues please avoid this So called Doctor. He can't even keep his best employees. He wont be there for you when you really need a Doctor, only lip service. He only lifted a finger to help me after I proved to him with over 10 year old records that I had a to major conditions. He treated nether and I became Anemic. Horrible Doctor. He needs to hire someone bad or RETIRE!

Choose a different Dr’s office
Dr. Tankala & his staff provide very poor patient care. Staff doesn’t return calls or pass messages to the nurses, PA or Dr. The Dr. himself dismisses patients concerns & needs to improve his quality of care.

Terrible -doesn’t listen, made suggestions that went directly against his PA or NP. She talked to me and gathered information then he didn’t listen to her and asked me the same thing. What a waste of time. He never had any idea what was going on. A bad joke of a dr. Do not trust him at all.

I went to the doctor for knee pain all he did was give me some cream to put on my knee and this was two weeks ago and I was in agony for the last two weeks until I went to see my orthopedist and found out that I have a torn meniscus and she drain some fluid and gave me a steroid shot he didn’t even suggest an MRI at the time I was in so much pain I would not recommend this doctor to anyone
