Parking does stink because there is very limited space for the office and the dialysis center next to it. The office itself is very clean and organized. The seating area is small but the back rooms are spacious. My visits are never long and they are always running on time which is great. Dr. Alvaz is my doctor and she's a very intelligent woman. She takes her time getting to know the patient and history and is quick to set up following appointments. I definitely recommend this office!

I was told to arrive 30 minutes early to complete new patient forms, so I arrived 40 minutes before…read moremy 10:00 AM appointment and finished the paperwork in about 15 minutes. Despite this, I wasn't called in until 10:25. I even checked with the receptionist, who just said, "a few more minutes." The nurse took my weight, said she'd return shortly to check my blood pressure, but didn't come back for 7 minutes. After that, I waited another 15 minutes for the doctor, who only spent about 10 minutes with me and simply asked why my primary doctor referred me--something the nurse had already asked. Odd, considering it's a kidney clinic. The doctor ordered lab work (done onsite), and I waited again for the phlebotomist. When I went to schedule my follow-up, the gentleman at the front desk was unhelpful and unfriendly. Altogether, I spent 1 hour and 35 minutes at the clinic, most of it just waiting. I spent more time in the waiting room and exam room alone than actually being seen. I'm now considering switching to a different location and doctor.

I needed to find a good Nephrologist to help me with my medical issues sustained in the military. Here, i found Doctor Ravi Middidoddi. There are many things that I can say, but I will simply say: - he understands and takes account for an overall health diagnosis - he understands and is compassionate for the patient and their family - he always stays up to date on latest medical advice, information, treatment, and diagnosis techniques Additionally, he intimately cares for you as a patient and always remembers WHO you are and not that you are a "number" or "patient".. he knows you are a person coming for help. No matter what insurance provider I have, I always ensure that Dr. Middidodi is covered under those plans... his services are well worth the effort when you need to save your life.

I'm writing this review from the perspective of both my mother - a patient of Dr. Mididoddi - and…read moremyself - as a family member of one of Dr. Mididoddi's patients. My mum is a kidney transplant patient who experienced some difficulties, including hospitalization, in the first few years after her transplant. During one of these hospitalizations, my mum had the good luck of being seen by Dr. Mididoddi. He took the time to familiarize himself with her history and the facts and circumstances that caused her hospitalization. Upon meeting with her at the hospital he was compassionate, competent, and knowledgeable. After that hospitalization, my mum switched nephrologists and began seeing Dr. Mididoddi. It was the best decision. Dr. Mididoddi continues to be my mum's favorite doctor. He is concerned about my mother's overall well-being and not just the health of her kidney. Dr. Mididoddi has done a wonderful job of referring my mum to additional doctors, when necessary, and strives for a cohesive and balanced approach to her healthcare. Even though my mum has many health issues, Dr. Mididoddi does a great job of not making her or our family feel overwhelmed, putting things in perspective and offering helpful insight into what can be done to improve my mum's health and optimize her quality of life. He also stresses the fact that he is always a phone call or an email away and no question or concern is too small to bring to his attention.

ASTOUNDINGLY INCOMPETENT front office experience!!!…read more I waited over five weeks for an appointment only to show up (in the office) to find that they didn't take my insurance. I even did the online check-in. They didn't even mention that my insurance wasn't covered. I don't know how the doctors there are because, obviously, I didn't get to see one. Doctors that are this sloppy about how their offices are run don't inspire confidence their medical ability either.
