Patients appreciate
Dr. Avaneesh Jakkoju receives consistently high praise for his communication skills and bedside manner. Patients repeatedly commend him for explaining medical information clearly and in terms they can understand, taking the time to ensure comprehension of their conditions and treatment plans. He is frequently described as professional, kind, caring, and compassionate. Patients appreciate that he listens attentively to their concerns, answers all questions thoroughly, and involves them in developing care plans. Many reviewers note feeling comfortable with him, even during first visits, and express confidence in the information and care they receive.
Patients also share
The reviews reveal minimal criticism, with only one notably lower-rated review expressing dissatisfaction. This patient felt Dr. Jakkoju "didn't do anything" except change their medication, suggesting a perception that their concerns may not have been adequately addressed or that they expected more comprehensive intervention beyond medication adjustment. This isolated complaint stands in stark contrast to the overwhelmingly positive feedback from other patients.
