Paddu P, MD

This doctor and team are amazing. They are the real deal. The doctor is extremely knowledgeable and caring. I am very hard to impress and he gets an A+.
If you need a great doctor who is conveniently located, he’s the one. My God only wants the
very best for me, so he directed me to Dr. Paddu and his team. He is about two blocks from the 7 subway line and takes most medical insurances. Don’t worry about pain, because you
won’t feel any.

The receptionist is very nice and pleasant. This is a very rare quality in the doctor’s offices I go to in NYC. My mother has worked for doctor’s for 40 years, so my bar is pretty high seeing my pseudo moms were medical secretaries.
The medical assistant was very sweet and helpful. She was patient and I never felt rushed even though I was the last patient of the day. My appt was at 12:15 and my procedure was finished at 2:20.
The anesthesiologist asked me many questions to get an idea of my previous medical history with anesthesia. He was also very kind and sensitive to my emotions and very patient.
Dr. Paddu was SO KIND. I felt so comfortable talking to him and when I told him what had brought me to his office he wanted to see the other tests my pc doc had run. I only came to him for a one time check up, get a diagnosis and thought that would be it. But he was actually concerned! Not in a life-​threatening way, but in a «that sounds odd and I would like to look at those test results, too». I definitely would recommend him to anyone needing a gastroenterologist.
The entire office displayed an amazing bedside manner that should be shared among the medical community.
I took a star off for my apt being an hour late AND the paper work sent to me (from the organization that set up the appt) said to arrive 30 minutes early. Since this was a weekend and the 7 train isn’t running from Manhattan to Queensboro Plaza there was a lot of rerouting. It was easy though and the rerouting will end soon. I arrived 40 minutes early to my appt, that ended up being an hour behind schedule. After not eating for over 30 hours, I was bit stressed to say the least.
I was given very sincere apologies for making me wait by each staff member as I was passed down the line (which was very efficient and no waiting at all!) and I was so happy to be seen I got over it really quick.

He just does blood test for everything, including a cold, flu, stomach ache, headache and then sometimes they send to the lab where your insurance does not cover the bill, so make sure you ask them if the lab work will be covered by your insurance.
