I have called 5 days in a row, twice a day for 3 days to renew a prescription that I need to take daily. The insurance company no longer covered my prescribed medication. I was told by doctors office to contact my insurance company to obtain an alternative. I called the insurance company, spoke to a pharmacist obtained an alternative to try and had to call the doctor's office 3x , email doctor's office and was called back by an assistant! The doctor never called. I was out of meds and was advised that I will need to wait until 12 noon to see if my pharmacy received the new prescription. I have never had such bad service from a medical doctor. 6 business days to get a prescription is outrageous. read more

Dr Kandula has been my endocrinologist for two years. I was very sick and had been in the hospital several times. She set me up with meds and sensors. She was very thorough and she really helped me get better. read more

How she is still practicing is a mystery. She is rude and could care less about helping. When I complained to the office manager, she proceeded to hound me. Countless emails and calls for weeks. I had to block her. read more

Did not know that medical appointment experiences could be so negative. Condescending, incompetent, and extremely rude. Rolls eyes at questions, repeats herself obnoxiously when asked for clarification. Steer clear at all costs. Seriously hope that Dr. Kandula's license gets revoked before subjecting others to her severely unprofessional demeanor. Thanks for ruining a great day!! A+ read more

This doctor/place is a scam. Anuradhika saw me and wife for a total of 15 mins max. She didn't even touch either of us, not even a blood pressure and they charge 529$ for my wife and ~300$ for me and this is after the insurance paid the rest of the amount. We tried to follow up to get detailed report of what are the charges for and they would not provide them to us. It's ridiculous how they can do that. read more

Dr. Kandula is an awesome endocrinologist. About a year ago I moved back to bay area and my health condition was very bad, I saw Dr. Kandula because my diabetes was way out of control, after following her plan and medication now I am safe again. My diabetes is normal now and I lost weight thank you Dr. Kandula. read more

Anuradhika Kandula, MD - Endocrinologists Near Me - San Jose, California

See all

I'd like to say this woman miss diagnosed me but I can't even say she diagnosed me at all. She told me I was fine but ran no bloodwork to check and also kept pushing weight loss drugs at me when that was not why I was there. She was extremely dismissive and always rushing out of my appointments in less than 5 min. She repeatedly told me it wasn't my thyroid and I was fine when she never even checked it. Turns out I was extremely hypothyroid , and had been for years if she had even bothered to look at my previous bloodwork . I also have Hashimoto's. So thank you Dr Kandula for making me sick for yet another year , gaining an additional 30lbs , and having to more time and money to seek out additional medical help. read more

Excellent endocrinologist. I have have been her patient for roughly over a year and I can tell you that Dr. Kandula is extremely professional, knowledgeable and most important takes her time with her patients during the visits. read more

She is not about solving the problem or coming up with a plan. She is about spending 15 minutes checking that you are taking meds she prescribed. I don't consider this good doctoring. I'm searching. read more

I rarely write reviews but this one deserves it: if you are on a HDHP (High Deductible Health Plan), beware because you can be charged outrageous amount of money for services that only a year earlier costed a fraction of what they are now charging to post-pandemic. An ultrasound cost went from ~$100 in 2020 to ~$430 in 2021. If you think it's a clerical error, think again: after you contact the billing department, don't hold your breath to receive a timely response. They basically tell you Stanford is a prestigious institution and they can charge what they want and what's allowed. Shameful! read more

I can confirm the comments from another reviewers - I too had a terrible experience. She seemed determined to treat me rudely, didn't listen to anything I had to say --- in fact she ignored and disregarded valuable patient history that I was telling her. She seemed in a rush and did not spend longer than 8 minutes with me, even though I was a new patient at my very first appointment with her. :-/ If you're looking for someone to listen or spend a few moments to help with a diagnosis, I can unequivocally confirm that Dr Kandula would be a terrible choice. I was shocked by the quick, disrespectful and dismissive service. After my appointment I went online to confirm her background. Turns out she wasn't educated in the US - perhaps standards for bedside manner or creating a positive experience are different where she is from. Whatever the case, I hope this review helps someone make an informed decision before choosing their provider. read more

I do not recommend her, she doesn't seems to have good experience. Mainly she will give theoretical answers, which anyone can read from Wikipedia/internet. I kept asking whats the impact as per your experience and she kept saying studies show that this is the impact and that made me nervous. Also, she doesn't have answers to most of your questions, her best answers to all of your question would be "I don't know". We went for thyroid treatment. read more

I drove one hour for my appointment only to find out the office had moved to a different location. I was never told about the move and after calling to notify them I was at the old location they said I could still be seen. I drove over to the new location checked in and was waiting for over 40min I saw people that got there after me go in and out. I went up and asked when I was going to be seen and she said when they have an opening. I was never advised ahead of time about the excessive wait. If I would of known I would of re scheduled instead of driving an additional 30min. read more

Save your time & energy. This dirty, unorganized office is a rip off and they're shuffling people in and out like cattle. This is the worst Doctor I've ever seen in my life. I got a $225 bill for a 10min consultation and blood draw. I've had thyroid issues for 5 years, this terrible doctor said I was normal and refused to help me get medication or find out why my labs drastically changed over a years time. She also told me she'd send me paperwork to do a re-eval and never did. TRUST YELP ON THIS ONE AND DON'T GO TO THIS DOCTOR. I don't even know how she is employed in California. She doesn't care about the patients, isn't trying to really help and just all about money money money. I'm so mad at myself for still giving her a chance after the reading the Yelp reviews. Yikes... Dr. Kantdonothing.. Find a new profession that you truly care for, please. read more

Dr. Kandula was referred to me by my primary doctor at the time; her handling of me as a patient was disgraceful. Her final diagnoses? "Go see a therapist." I switched to a much more professional doctor who takes her job very seriously since, and this new doctor found a myriad of deficiencies and endocrine disorders from some simple blood tests. Even though Dr. Kandula took blood for tests, these obvious deficiencies and endocrine disorders went over her head. Was it too much to ask of an endocrine doctor? She just didn't check for any of the basic and obvious things. And when she couldn't find anything? "Everything checks out. You should go see a therapist instead." And she sent me walking out the door with a chronic endocrine disorder, totally oblivious. Terrible doctor experience, the front tried to overcharge me for my visit. When I questioned the charges, they were "readjusted". Take my advise, do yourself a favor, and find a doctor who will take your health as seriously as you do. There's no need to gamble with your life like this doctor does. read more

Wish there was a way to do negative stars. Office visit took over 1.5 hours where you only see the doctor 5 minutes. She switched to Stanford the day I arrived and no longer accepted my insurance, but still claimed there would be no problem for today. I would still need to find another specialist if I had any other issues. Was told the 40$ deducible and insurance portion would cover everything, but for the 5 minutes I was still billed 160$ (after insurance paid). To top it all off, because she didn't write the letter to my insurance for surgery clearance, follow up calls after follow up calls, she delayed my surgery 2 months and I had to go pay to see another doctor. More money to another doctor, time off of work, I should be billing her! Avoid this fraud at all costs, not worth your time. read more

Focuses on lab numbers and not symptoms, does not spend much time in the appointment, rushes through. Does respond to emails in a timely manner and does order follow up tests. read more

I am seeing Dr Kandula from 2012. She is very knowledgeable and helped me with my thyroid issues. Dr Kandula helped me several times during this course with my Thyroid up/down symptoms. Really appreciate her help and suggest her for thyroid related issues. read more

Dr. Kandula is treating my daughter for a complicated adrenal problem. The other endocrinologists we have consulted with seemed to only be well versed in diabetes and not willing to take a complicated case on. Dr. Kandula has been kind, attentive, ran the appropriate tests that lead to the proper diagnosis. She was organized and clear on the plan of care and guided her improved health. I highly recommend Dr. Kandula. read more

Zero stars! This doctor was a waste of my time and money. Stay away! Doctors like her not only keep people sick but also cause patients to become more sick. I came to see her with a multitude of thyroid issues as well as extremely swollen & sore glands/thyroid, yet according to her exam I'm "normal". Wth? Anyone could clearly see & feel that my glands were swollen. When I asked her "why am I experiencing all these symptoms then?" her answer was "I don't know. I don't treat patients according to their symptoms." read more

Iv'e been seeing Dr. Kandula for the pass 2 months now. She has been great in explaining my diagnosis and course of treatment. Her staff is also very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this office. read more

I strongly recommend to stay away from this doctor. It was the worst experience ever. I will find out why my primary doctor recommended her. I went in for a thyroid nodule examination and a possible biopsy. Luckily she does not perform those on the first visit. I would not have trusted her! I waited for her for about 45 minutes in a tiny, sad and not so clean patient room. Then her assistant showed up saying that she was going to fill in for her while she was with another patient. She asked me routine questions, listen to my heart bit with a stethoscope and examined my neck to check if she could feel my nodule. All this performed while I was sitting on a chair. I never made it to the examination table. She than left and came back 10 minutes later accompanied by Doctor Kandula. Her visit lasted about 8 minutes, in which she performed the exact same examination as her assistant. Then she briefly went through her assistant's notes, crossed her arms while standing, and asked me if I had any questions. Her pose clearly communicated she was in a hurry and did not have any intention to sit down and patiently explain anything about thyroid nodules, how she would eventually perform a biopsy procedure, or what the outcomes of that procedure might foretell regarding my future prognosis or treatment. Doctor Kandula treats her patients like NUMBERS not human beings! read more

Dr Kandula was nice but it didn't seem like she was giving me personalized care so it felt like my apts where useless she would refill my RX and tell me the lab results which I could already check online. Idk about other but I want to feel like my doctor cares about me and I never really felt that with this doctor. Her front office staff was really rude and unwelcoming on top of that. The only reason I went to my 3 appointments was location but after my 3rd apt I decided not putting myself thru bad patient care so I won't be coming back save yourself the trouble. read more

I have been a patient of Doctor Kandula's for many years. She is an exceptional and very caring doctor. She takes time to explain test results and treatments. I highly recommend Dr. Kandula if you need an endocrinologist. read more

Dr. Kandula is amazing! She has provided outstanding care and the treatment plan she developed for me was exceptional and led to the results needed - far sooner than I expected. She stayed on top of everything every step of the way - and she even contacted me on Christmas Eve when my lab-work came in. I'm so grateful for all that Dr. Kandula has done to get me well again! She is amazing! read more

The quality of care as pertaining to my thyroid disease was of very low quality. My thyroid antibodies levels should have also been checked so as to figure out if my thyroid gland is being attacked and the thyroid medication adjusted accordingly. She never adjusted levels she did not do any specialized medical care for my specific medication. I arrived seeing her with an old dose from a prior doctor she just had me stay on that same dose never adjusted doses. Never informed me of where my levels were never addressed the fatigue and issues I'm still suffering from with the thyroid disease. So overall not specialized care and on the last issue not a friendly doctor to talk with of deal with she got disrespectful towards me as well. Her level of care does not meet the quality of a specialist. Also levoxythrine is horrible. Every medi-cal doctor insists on it only because of a contract with drug companies I assume. It sucks! There's many other choices. And I'll say from personal experience I've seen at best about a 15% improvement in my energy levels with this medication but it gives a lot of unwanted side effects like depression and fatigue and anxiety and a ton of hair loss on my scalp. I honestly can say I hardly see any improvements with this medication if at all. read more

If you need an excellent Endocrinologists then Dr. Kandula is the person you should see. If you are having problems with your glucose, Dr Kandula can get you on track. I am a caner patient and was having some very serious problems as it related to my chemo treatment. My sugar was out of control and my PCP wasn't helping much. One visit to Dr Kandula and things immediately started getting better. She put me on a program that works and works well with my chemo treatment. Dr. Kandula is very personable and her mannerism conveys a genuine interest in helping her patients. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Again, if you would like to get your glucose/sugar under control or heading in the right direction you should see Dr. Kandula; this is the best place to go. Very nice office. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Kandula since the beginning of this year. She is very concerned and helpful in resolving my thyroid problems. She explains the health condition in detail and answers well to all my questions. Her office has implemented online healthcare portal which has all patient details such as lab tests, appointments, medications, health summary, messages and billing. I find it very helpful to keep track of my treatment and to contact her office. Her staff is very courteous & helpful with scheduling appointments & bookkeeping. Overall my experience with Dr. Kandula is great and I recommend her for any thyroid related problems. read more

I am seeing Dr. Kandula for last 6 years. I don't know about other reviewers. She makes me extremely comfortable so everything is easy to discuss, and her feedback/diagnosis/treatment plan is well balanced. I will highly recommend Dr. Kandula to my friends and family. read more
