Dr. Tadepalli was fantastic. I've been experiencing a number of concerning symptoms for several months now, and was referred by an outside physician for a hem/onc consult. I feel sure that's a nerve-wracking experience for anyone, but Dr. Tadepalli really put me at ease. Not because he suggested that everything is definitely fine or that I've been worried for no reason, but because he actually listened to me. It was clear through the course of our conversation that he was paying attention to what I was telling him; he asked follow-up questions when he wanted more detail, and I could tell by the way he spoke to me that he really wanted to understand what my experience has been so that he can help me. He answered all of my questions and spoke to me like I'm an intelligent person, which is something I really appreciate. He mentioned a number of things that may be on the differential, and assured me that he would cast a wide net because he wants to be sure that we figure out what's causing my symptoms. I've seen a number of physicians in the last six months trying to get some answers about my worrisome lab results and symptoms. Dr. Tadepalli is the first who made me feel like I was being heard. It was also readily apparent from our conversation that he is a very smart person, which is also, of course, very reassuring. I really can't say enough good things about my first appointment with him and I would not hesitate to send anyone I know to see him.
