HealthPartners Travel Medicine Clinic

I also had a terrible experience with Dr. Ganga Reddy. She insinuated that I was on drugs (for no reason) and gave me 2 drug tests for no reason (that I paid for out of pocket) and I also saw her trying to glance in to my purse when it was unzipped. I had strep a few times and she kept on prescribing clindamycin even though I was having terrible side affects from the medicine. I found out later that I am very allergic to this antibiotic. She also kept telling me I needed to eat healthier and I looked at a print out and she had my BMI (weight and height) incorrect in her system. I would steer clear of this doctor at all costs! And to be honest, I’ve never had good experiences at this entire clinic! Patient beware!

My 2 star review is not 1 only due to the amazing lab technician that had performed my EKG. If not for her, this review would be a 1 star. I saw Dr. Frank Melo during my urgent care visit. I was THE only one in the waiting room. Despite this, he and the nurse appeared almost annoyed that I had come in… assuming I was a hypochondriac after my EKG returned normal. It took me months of gaining courage to address my health concerns and when I finally did, I felt as if I was bantered by my doctor. (A new experience for me.) Dr. Melo appeared agitated when I hesitated to his question, «Do you get stomach pains?»…considering he had to ask a series of questions to cover legalities and justify why he didn’t send me immediately to the emergency clinic. I hesitated because the answer was yes, but I assumed the stomach pains were completely unrelated to my heart. Following my hesitation he said, «If you have to hesitate, you don’t have them. A lot of people imagine symptoms to be something they don’t actually have.» At this point I realized he had already labeled me a hypochondriac and I immediately wanted to leave. Considering the visit wasn’t finished, I let my tears roll down my cheek and finished what was started. I believe there is something medically not right with my body. In which case there is not, it is not what I consider good medicine to assume a young adult has been imagining her symptoms because of her age. A good doctor doesn’t passive aggressively suggest you are imagining a health condition, and instead suggests diagnostically what is best for you to determine what may be wrong. Regardless of what they personally believe is mentally going on with you. I believe bedside manner is 50% of a doctor’s profession, and completely underrated.

This rating is for Dr. Ganga S. Reddy, a family practice doctor who clinics out of this location.
Consider this a warning, Dr. Reddy is unfit to be a doctor. I work with doctors and surgeons everyday and I have never met one as inconsiderate and unfeeling as Dr. Reddy. I went to visit her a few months back and she basically told me that I was promiscuous (without ANY reason) and told me over the course of the ten minutes she spent with me that the pain in my calf could be from heart failure, liver failure, or kidney failure. She then proceeded to send me down to get blood work done, all without a trace of compassion. In my opinion you should NEVER leave the doctor’s office feeling worse than you went in.
Nothing was wrong with me and I ended up leaving thinking my organs were failing. Not something that should ever happen to an otherwise healthy 23 year old.
The reason I write this review now is because my mother just recently had a very severe upper respiratory infection and went to Dr. Reddy (she didn’t remember that this was the doctor who had made me cry several months back). Dr. Reddy insinuated that my mother or father were being UNFAITHFUL to each other after 30years of being together. She was also rude and unfeeling towards my mother. She again subjected my mother to several unnecessary tests, all of which came back normal and didn’t even give her anything for her horrible cough. She went to the ER the next day and they gave her prescription for cough syrup because she was in so much pain.
Dr. Reddy is awful, you will feel significantly worse after seeing her.
