Sunkavally Rao V B MD Facs Adult & Pediatric Urlgy

Never had any problems at the office visits, or followups. Everything went as planned, and he was very nice. All paperwork was in order, and notes were taken. Thanks Dr. Sunkavally

He is a horrible doctor, who has no interest in helping his patients. He doesn’t take any notes, so each time you go to him you have to explain everything over and over again. He is very rude and defensive. When you ask him what’s the diagnosis or the next step in getting better, he shrugs his shoulders and says i don’t know, like he’s a five year old child. He doesn’t even make an effort in trying to figure out the problem. The only thing he knows how to do is order blood tests over and over again. I’ve been going to him for a 5 years, since he’s the only Urologist that my insurance will cover. I finally have had it and I rather go to a different Urologist and pay all the cost out of my own pocket than to go back to him!!!
If there was a zero rating on Unilocal,i would rate him ZERO! Do yourself a favor don’t go to him, he will waste your time, in the end you will be left frustrated with him and have no resolution to your problem. On top of that you will have a rude doctor who gets loud when you ask him for anything. It’s a shame that he calls himself a doctor.

Smidgen of an update on 1.26.10:
Sunkavally’s medical error sent me to the hospital
for three days.
When I called him out on his mistake, he became rude and defensive.
He was not cooperative in sending medical records to another physician.
When the other doctor finally did get the information, his notes were
not thorough nor legible. I was told by Arlene originally Sunkavally did
not even TAKE notes during a hospital follow-​up visit. It seems he
scribbled some words on a paper and faxed them to my doctor…
after the fact to cover up his error of not taking notes to begin with.
And there is more I will happily add at a later date.
Original review:
Zero stars in all honesty.
I saw him at his Fremont office for a follow-​up hospital stay.
Originally he was assigned to my care at ValleyCare…
the hospital of errors.
I reviewed him for a Pleasanton location as well. It is important to
me that I post this review for his Fremont office as well. Apologies
for duplicate information, yet I want to get the word out about this doctor.
My goal with doctor reviews is to either help you find a good one based
upon my family’s and my experiences. And also to warn you as per our
appalling experiences. It is such a shame most doctor reviews are
written as warnings. I’d much prefer writing five star doctor reviews,
yet those stars must be earned via competent medical care.
Very, very highly do NOT recommend seeing Sunkavally for any type
of urology issue.
My family found his Fremont office to be absolutely disgusting.
The stench was miserable… eek.
There were piles of stuff covering the floor in the exam
room. It felt extremely unsanitary and made us feel uneasy being there.
Honestly, I literally felt sick to my stomach while there due to the
condition of the office.
We initially met him at Valley Care Medical Center in Pleasanton.
Sunkavally and Valley Care Medical Center staff made huge medical
errors. They should feel blessed that I don’t write the entire disturbing
story…yet, anyway.
I could write more negative experiences with this man and his
miserable patient care, yet I hope my zero star rating is
enough information for you.
