Wonderful pediatrician. Very approachable and comfortable. Easy to talk to and answers your questions. Shows you test results. He was my son's pediatrician.

While Dr. Thotakura was very nice and made my daughter feel at ease during appointments, I cannot give a good review due to the fact after almost a year and multiple records requests (including one made in person after flying back to Huntsville from California) his clinic has not sent my daughters medical records and shot records to our new doctor in California. This seems to indicate a unacceptable level of incompetence in his staff, and I do not feel anyone should have their medical information handled by someone who can't keep track of the records.

As a nurse, mother and now grandmother I will state this doctor is one of the best in his field. In fact several years ago, he saved my daughters life. He was unable to find what was causing her severe illness and immediately referred us to a top specialist that saw my daughter within the week.
He gives antibiotic treatment when needed. He actually has a biologist to review his specimen slides in house so that the proper antibiotic is given. He does not over medicate nor under medicate his patients. To the reviewer that complained about the noise level I say "children are noisey". He is very busy and he sees many children. I only wish we could clone him!!
