Dr. Koteswararao Thella, MD

Rude, incompetent & extremely bad communication skills!

Dr Thella treated my father at St Francis in Tulsa. He informed me my father had no quality of life which is not the Drs right to decide. I found out later there was dementia and quadriplegic in his file, both of which are not truth. It is very obvious my father is NOT a quadriplegic. He can move all his limbs and is able to stand up. My father is very definitely NOT demented either. There has never been a diagnosis of dementia nor was it in his file the last time he was at St Francis but yet it was in his file after being treated by Dr Thella. Dr Thella did not take my fathers life seriously. He was very dismissive of both my father and me. He over hydrated him, then dehydrated him... twice. He did not get infection control on board and he should have. It took him 3 days to find pneumonia after I told the Dr I suspected pneumonia and that he was very high risk of having pneumonia. Run from Dr Thella.

Dr. Thella was arrogant, argumentative and did not listen. If a patient does not like you that does not make the patient wrong.
