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.

Previous Patient
Dr. Patibandla is very dedicated to research every available information possible.Several test were run and other doctors were added for consideration.I was kept mostly informed of the test results and any added medication needed.The last PET scan was preformed but never any discussion of results. I assumed there was nothing wrong. After last blood test, I was released.

I Love & Trust Dr Patibandla
Dr Patibandla is an excellent doctor. She took over my care when Dr Birdwell retired and has done a wonderful job.Dr Pat is very concerned with all aspects of my care and is also very up to date on possible treatments for me. She is very caring and dedicated to all of her patients.I have been dealing with and fighting breast cancer since 2009. I work diligently to be up to date on my care, options for my treatment and am an almost aggressive advocate for myself. I would definitely recommend Dr Patibandla to anyone facing cancer treatment.

Wonderful Doctor
Dr Pat is one of my favorite doctors. She is kind, professional, and remembers dates about my health care services and even my prescriptions. How she remembers things about me with all the patients she has is remarkable. She is very astute and a lovely person to know.

God sent me an Angel!
I could go on and on about Dr. Patty. She was always so nice and caring. She took her time each appointment and she really help me through a scary time in my life. I was diagnosed with a blood clot when I was pregnant and she advocated for me for my medication with the insurance company and always look out for best interest. She has a very calming demeanor. You won’t be wrong with choosing her.

Gets the job done
I feel very confident that she has my best interest at heart. Her expertise gives me confidence in her ability to help me in any way that she can to make my condition better. She has called me personally on several occasions to check on me or to verify her instructions to me!!! I haven't had that happen before by any doctor. When I need any type of testing done she gets it done. I don't have to wait long for a call from the testing facilities. They all know 'Dr. Pat'. She is caring, knowledgable, and thorough. I was fortunate to be referred to her when I was referred to Texas Oncology.

Couldn’t have had a better more caring Dr!
Dr Patibandla is extremely caring and takes time with you in every appointment. I have never felt rushed through my appointments and have felt she gives her patients individual care which is rare with a lot of doctors. I highly recommend her to everyone needing an Oncologist!
