About Murali Pathikonda, M.D.
Why did you choose to specialize in Gastroenterology?
Understanding the physiology of gastrointestinal tract appeals to me as I believe in enjoying a healthy meal for healthy living. Disorders of upper and lower GI tract, influenced by functions of gall bladder, liver and pancreas offer unique challenges while they might present similarly. Each patient’s needs &responses to treatment are unique and I enjoy investigating these while making them feel better. Prevention of GI cancers has been better than ever and I love to make that possible. I also enjoy treating reflux and ulcer disorders, colon cancer prevention, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD),irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), colon cancer screening and prevention.

Reviews
Great doctor. Very caring
Dr Pathikonda has great bedside manner, he provided excellent care for my husband
Team was wonderful, professional and very accommodating! Definitely recommend!
New Patient Appt moved up a week, Thanks to another's cancelation. Day of Appt, Dr Pathikonda was seeing Patients on time, no waiting. Personally, bad day for New Patient Appt, severally Depressed, Emotional. Dr. Pathikonda, patiently, sought answers to his questions, to make a determination of the likely issue. Testing would be necessary to accurately diagnosis. Which was scheduled. Dr. Pathikonda prescribed prescription medication, advised to change some over the counter medications, and dietary changes to control the symptoms and discomfort in the mean time. I am experiencing, relief. Experimenting with diet changes and exercise tweeks trying for additional relief. Dr. Pathikonda has made a treatment plan, that together will get me to the accurate diagnosis and action needed thereafter. I am mobile by walker and wheelchair, following extensive spinal fusions. My strong suggestion to anyone who may alternate between walker and wheelchair, "Use your Wheelchair." The Building Entrance has an extremely long handicap ramp. The multi Physicians waiting room very spacious, long hallways to the patient rooms, and also to the rooms for scheduling procedures. Leaving is the reverse of entering.
Dr. Pathikonda is very professional and thorough. Easy to talk to and he explains everything to you. His entire staff are great. Highly recommend him.
