Kiranmai Gorla, MD

This may be long, but I'll give a synopsis. The dr. looked for a sacral dimple by taking half his diaper off and she determined he did not have one. He has a very prominent sacral dimple and when I told her this she ignored me. She kept calling his hemangioma a hematoma and said it should be gone in a few days. I came in expecting imaging and was told they could not perform it. I told her I had eliminated dairy from my diet b/c he has mucus in his still (gone since 8 weeks dairy free). She told me to consume dairy anyways. Continued on separate sheet.

The provider was good, somewhat generic this visit. However, we were disappointed in the wait. We were not seen until 45 minutes past our appointment time. The doctor did not walk into the office until 20 minutes past our appt. time, we were the first appointment of the day with a child under 6 months old. This length of a wait was unreasonable.

Very thoughtful & caring physician. Dr. Gorla listened to our concerns & answered all our questions about our 6 week old and her recent medical issues.

We waited almost 2 hours after our appointment. The actual doctor never even listened or touched our child. Did not ask for previous medical records and wanted us to see a handful of doctors and get procedures that didn't make sense to us. You could tell she was too busy and overwhelmed. she was in and out and had her practicing nurse do everything. we came to her for specific reasons and left completely panicked and stressed. worst appointment ever.

Overall it wasn't a great experience. Our appt. was @ 10:20; we finally saw the doctor @ 11:50 a.m. plus we basically repeated our story 3 times (nurse, resident, doctor) super frustrating after waiting 1 1/2 hours for the doctor.

We switched from Advocate Christ specialist to Advocate Lutheran and so happy we did.

The physician was excellent but the support staff were not good at all. We were asked to submit stool samples to the lab but no instruction regarding preparation or equipment was provided. A referral was handed over & asked to submit the lab with stool sample.

She was very thorough and clear, but seemed to come in with a diagnosis and asked very leading questions to confirm that diagnosis.

Dr. Gorla very disrespectful and not allow us to speak. She deal with us like we just arrived from a 3rd world country.

Very kind & gentle. Thoughtful w/explanations.

Good, (but long wait!) (45 min.-1 hr.).

Very short. Dismissive of my concerns for my son. Talked down to me. Made me feel like a bad parent. Had an intern in the room with her but didn't ask us if it was OK.

Good provider, great explanations about prescriptions & other things that we need to know.

I like that she sent my child for testing since she has never gotten any blood work.

Dr. Kiranmai was the on-call doctor when we were at ER ion 4/20. It was a waste of time for us to see her. She didn't do any kind of exam. She knew what was wrong on 4/20, but no one told us.
