May 3, 2017Denise A.Verified patient
Dismissive and condescending to both patients and his staff. His medical knowledge is not impressive, either.

July 9, 2019Timothy P.Verified patient
I was very comfortable my first visit. Subsequently, as I got to know the physicians and staff... I felt as though I had known them for years. They treated me like family and have given me a new outlook on my health.
Dr. Kota is brilliant and his talent allows him to get very favorable results. He is the first Dr. that has produced a very positive change to my situation than others that I have seen in the last 3 years. Finally a Dr. who treats the whole being as a sum of its parts. I can’t say enough good things.

wait time in waiting room more than expected
May 22, 2019Jason K.Verified patient
Everyone working there was very friendly and down to earth. They were unable to receive any of my Zocdoc info that I submitted though because their normal receptionist was on vacation which was unfortunate.

Dr. Kota spends time going thru reports and listens to patients patiently. He then checks the patients. After his evaluation, advises further treatment in a detailed manner. He goes through latest procedures and recommendations published in medical journals.
I am benefited tremendously.
A few years back I was diagnosed as suspected TIA and was hospitalized for a few days. Just around this time last year, I was on medication for High BP, Cholesterol and Thyroid. Now I am free of all medication and have lost more than 20 lbs. I am a very senior citizen (76 years old).
I am proud to say, I was able to achieve all healthy markers and better health with guidance and support from Dr. Kota.
April 3, 2019Ram D.Verified patient
Been seeing Dr Kota for 15+years. He always explains the "why" he is doing, thinking, diagnosing, your problem so that you understand. He explains in layman words and talks at you and not down to you.
February 23, 2019Barry K.Verified patient
Well informed about treatment.
More than 1 year agoMarco S.Verified patient
Dr. Kota appears to practice what he preaches. "Good Health." He is direct and passionate about getting to the root of health issues. The 'bandaid' method does not heal. Some of the labs that he recommends are covered under my insurance, but other labs that offer more in depth health analysis requires additional out-of-pocket cost.
Dr. Kota"s health approach, holds the patient accountable to the success of better health.
February 9, 2019Lisa JVerified patient

Dr Kota is in favor of lowering taking pills, he believes in natural medicine. I like that. Visits are a little hurried. Staff is great.

Dr. Kota is as amiable and friendly a person as you'll ever meet. He is truly interested in your overall health as a path to a long and enjoyable life and will come across as more of a concerned uncle than a doctor. It's no wonder that patients remain loyal to him for many, many years.
November 21, 2018James S.Verified patient
very informative
November 20, 2018Andreea G.Verified patient
Very professional and super informative. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a possible way of treating medical conditions with medication and a focus on removal of medications.
November 15, 2018Matthew H.Verified patient
If you have medical health insurance by government like medicaid you will be treated a lot differently. So basically doctor does not give you much importance nor time and tries to get off his shoulder quickly. Greedy for money, would not share simple blood results until you make another appointment so that he can charge again.
More than 1 year agoInitials hidden
Dr. Kota is a very good listener and always likes to start with the natural methods and vitamins first before anything which is appreciated because it shows he cares for our well being apart from the medications we need if be.
