Long time patient with great relationship with Dr. Kanagala. I'm going through a high level of stress with my job and she helped me discover options with care and concern
The doctors solution was for me to see a psychiatrist for my depression and did not listen to my issues. She had made her determination of my concerns and ailments before talking to me. She seemed to be distracted by the PA she had with her.

I am very happy with dr kanagala. she is clearly very knowledgeable and has a good bedside manner
She told me about my lungs being clear and I told her I was still feeling awful. she gave me a plan of action and also left a follow up request if I wasn't improving before then she would recommend me to a ENT specialist. And route lab for later.
Dr. Kanagala is the best doctor i've ever had. She is so patient with me, makes sure i understand everthing we go over and I am sure she spent more time with me than she was supposed to.
Dr. was too rushed, somewhat sarcastic. "Next thing you'll be coming in here complaining about a hurting neck," after moving my backpack. There's a greater sense of rushing now, than two years ago.
She spent enought time to help me understand everything
As I mentioned before I would have liked to get to know a little about her since I am a new patient. I felt a little rushed and sometimes had trouble following the discussion. I'm glad she could squeeze me in a week earlier. I think if I see her on a regular appointment day I will have a better idea. Of her personality but for my first impression is she is diligent and a real go getter.
Dr. Kanagala is a caring, informed doctor. she wants people to be healthy as possible.
utterly clinical. no human empathy expressed.

Dr. Kanagala is excellent!
Very good.
Good doc, second time I've seen her and we seem to be developing a rapport. I was more comfortable around her (I have anxiety).
This was an excellent appointment. We felt that Dr. Kanagala spent as much time as was necessary to evaluate and discuss our situation. She made a change in medication and recommended a specialist for follow up. The one negative was not her fault: the specialists she had to choose from were not members of Stanford Valley Care.....not her fault.....the only ones available.
I love and respect Dr. Kanagala because she listens to me and is thorough in her explanations. She is an excellent and although I considered searching for another doctor closer to my home after almost 3 years I wouldn't think of it because she provides excellent care.
Dr. Kanagala is very thorough.
I'm very happy with Dr. Kanagala and recently made a choice not to choose a different, and less expensive, medical plan so that I can stay with her and the practice where I have a history.
Dr Kanagala is awesome.
Since Dr. Kanagala's practice became Stanford, it clear that she is under some time limit mandate. She has never stated this directly, but appointments seem rushed, and if you are taking up to much time, that does become evident. This was an observable change and not comfortable, you feel as though you are an inconvenience.
Dr.kanagala is amazing and really takes the time to go over your problems and find the best solution to make you feel better .
Dr. Kanagala is top notch in every respect

Dr Kanagala always go above and beyond in her concern for issues....
I will be switching dr's.
Dr Kanagala goes over and above
My doctor, PA, and I are a team in my health.
Dr Kanagala is a very caring dr. She took the time to call me the day after the appt about a prescription she gave me with concerns about a recall just to make sure I didn't get that manufactures brand.
I had a physical and was surprised that my reflexes weren't checked and I did not have an EKG as I would have by my previous doctor.

I have been going to Dr Kanagala for a few years and she is a wonderful and caring doctor. She is thorough in her evaluations of my different issues since I started seeing her. She refers me to a specialist when necessary and always checks that my concerns are addressed.
my husband and I both see Dr Kanagala and we feel we get very good care.
My appointment was at the end of the day, and as soon as Dr. Kanagala realized I needed my ears irrigated, she practically sprinted to make sure the person who needed to do it hadn't left and could help me that day. It made me feel like she also considered my time to be important.
Good
outstanding communication with everyone I had came in contact with. very nice people.
Good
Nurse and Dr Kanagala were very efficient and listened closely to what I told them were my family history and health concerns and then addressed those in a thoughtful and efficient way that made me confident they were effectively looking after my health.
I have already recommended Dr. Kanagala to a friend. Best doctor I have seen in years!
Very good experience

Dr. Kangagala is a magnificent doctor!! She definitely cares about her patients.
Dr Kanagala is the best doctor I have ever had. She spends real time listening and planning treatment options and plans. Orher than my Dr. son ( who practices family medicine in Ohio) I trust her implicitly with my medical treatment recommendations and health concerns.
My doctor used to be very concerned but now seems rushed and uncaring.

The physician assistant was excellent and couldn't have more to reassure me that she knew what she was doing and saying.

My regular doctor was on vacation and this doctor was a stopgap visit. We agreed that I would take the necessary lab test and call my doctor on Wed when she returned. I was given a prescription for antibiotics that I would begin if necessary after speaking to my PCP.
